H. Res. 989

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                    September 26, 2006.
Whereas on August 10, 2006, British police arrested 24 people for plotting to 
        commit acts of terror on trans-Atlantic flights;
Whereas as of August 31, 2006, 12 citizens have been charged for their roles in 
        the terror plot, including eight citizens charged with conspiracy to 
        murder;
Whereas United Kingdom authorities acted swiftly and decisively to prevent a 
        horrific attack on scores of innocent people;
Whereas the United Kingdom and the United States have been close allies in not 
        only two World Wars and Operation Desert Storm, but also the Global War 
        on Terror;
Whereas the intelligence and military communities of the United Kingdom and the 
        United States continue to work together to win the Global War on Terror;
Whereas the threat of terrorism is a grave concern for all nations, regardless 
        of geographical or other boundaries;
Whereas acts of terror have profoundly affected citizens across the globe, 
        including those in Egypt, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Spain, Turkey, the 
        United Kingdom, and the United States; and
Whereas victory in the Global War on Terror is a necessity to ensure the liberty 
        and safety of all people: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) commends the law enforcement authorities of the United Kingdom 
        on their action to prevent a terrible attack from occurring;
            (2) commends the intelligence community of the United Kingdom for 
        its outstanding work in identifying the citizens seeking to carry out 
        this plot;
            (3) condemns those that would use acts of violence against innocent 
        civilians to spread a message of hate and intolerance; and
            (4) urges the allies of the United States in the Global War on 
        Terror to remain steadfast in the execution of this important mission.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
