H. Res. 546

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                      November 17 (legislative day, November 18), 2005.
Whereas on November 9, 2005, a series of terrorist bombs exploded at the 
        Radisson, Hyatt, and Days Inn hotels in Amman, Jordan, resulting in the 
        deaths of scores of civilians and the injuries of hundreds of others;
Whereas the people and Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan have been 
        targeted in several terrorist attacks over the past few years;
Whereas Jordan has arrested suspected terrorists with possible ties to Osama bin 
        Laden's Al Qaeda organization, including suspected killers of a United 
        States diplomat, Lawrence Foley, who headed the United States Agency for 
        International Development (USAID) mission in Jordan but was shot on 
        October 28, 2002, while leaving for work, marking the first lethal 
        attack on a United States official in Jordan in more than 30 years;
Whereas Jordan is a stalwart ally of the United States in the global war on 
        terrorism; and
Whereas on November 10, 2005, President George W. Bush expressed his heartfelt 
        sympathies for the people of Jordan and his condolences to the families 
        of the victims during his visit to the Embassy of Jordan: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist attacks that 
        occurred on November 9, 2005, in Amman, Jordan;
            (2) joins with President George W. Bush in expressing its 
        condolences to the families and friends of those individuals who were 
        killed in the attacks and in expressing its sympathies to those 
        individuals who have been injured;
            (3) expresses solidarity and support of the people and Government of 
        the United States with the people and Government of the Hashemite 
        Kingdom of Jordan as they recover from these cowardly and inhuman 
        attacks; and
            (4) expresses its readiness to support and assist the Jordanian 
        authorities in their efforts to bring to justice those individuals 
        responsible for the recent attacks in Jordan and to pursue, disrupt, 
        undermine, and dismantle the networks which plan and carry out such 
        attacks.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
