H. Res. 911

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 19, 2006.
Whereas on July 11, 2006, during evening rush hour, seven major explosions 
        occurred on busy urban commuter trains in the Indian financial capital 
        of Mumbai, killing as many as 200 and wounding more than 700 innocent 
        civilians;
Whereas the Mumbai attacks occurred shortly after a series of grenade attacks 
        took the lives of at least eight people and injured approximately 40 
        others in tourist areas of Srinagar, Kashmir;
Whereas India has been a strong partner of the United States in the Global War 
        on Terror and offered immediate assistance to the United States after 
        the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001;
Whereas the United States and India are both multicultural, multireligious 
        democracies that oppose terrorism in all its forms and will continue to 
        work steadfastly to overcome terrorist ideology and establish 
        international peace and security;
Whereas the bombings have been condemned by leaders from around the world, 
        including from those attending the Group of Eight (G-8) meeting in Saint 
        Petersburg, Russia; and
Whereas the United States stands with the people and the Government of India and 
        condemns in the strongest terms these atrocities, which were committed 
        against innocent people as they went about their daily lives: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns in the strongest possible terms the July 11, 
        2006, terrorist attacks in Mumbai and Srinagar;
            (2) expresses its deepest condolences to the families and 
        friends of those individuals killed in the attacks and 
        expresses its sympathies to those individuals who have been 
        injured;
            (3) expresses its solidarity with the Government and people 
        of India in fighting and defeating terrorism in all its forms; 
        and
            (4) expresses its support for the enhancement of relations 
        between the United States and India, with the goal of combating 
        terrorism and advancing international peace and security.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
