Commending the United Kingdom for its efforts in the War on Terror, and 
                          for other purposes.

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 charge 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 Bali, Turkey, India, 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.
                                 <all>
