 Condemning in the strongest terms the terrorist attacks that occurred 
                 on November 9, 2005, in Amman, Jordan.

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; and
Whereas Jordan is a stalwart ally of the United States in the global war on 
        terrorism: 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) expresses its condolences to the families and friends 
        of those individuals who were killed in the attacks and 
        expresses 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.
