                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the condolences of the House of Representatives to the 
    families of the victims of the terrorist attacks in Madrid that 
   occurred one year ago, on March 11, 2004, and expressing deepest 
sympathy to the individuals injured in those attacks and to the people 
                        of the Kingdom of Spain.

Whereas on March 11, 2004, 10 coordinated bomb explosions at the Atocha, Santa 
        Eugenia, and El Pozo del Tio Raimundo stations and aboard a commuter 
        train occurred during the morning rush hour in Madrid;
Whereas 191 individuals were killed and more than 1,800 individuals were wounded 
        in these horrific terrorist attacks;
Whereas these terrorist bombing attacks were the deadliest in Europe since the 
        bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988;
Whereas these attacks constitute the worst acts of terrorism ever experienced in 
        Spanish history;
Whereas Spain's investigation into the Basque Fatherland and Liberty terrorist 
        organization, also known as Euzkadi Ta Askatasuma (ETA), has made 
        progress in the Global War on Terrorism;
Whereas the leaders of Spain have worked vigorously to identify and capture 
        terrorists who attempt to find sanctuary in Spain;
Whereas the atrocious acts of violence committed on March 11, 2004, in Madrid 
        show yet again that terrorism knows no borders;
Whereas the United States and Spain are committed to continuing to strengthen 
        the relationship between the United States and Europe;
Whereas Spain is an advocate for the ideals of freedom and democracy; and
Whereas the people of the United States stand together with the people of Spain 
        to remember those individuals who lost their lives on the one year 
        anniversary of these horrific terrorist attacks: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) expresses its condolences to the families of the 
        individuals killed in the terrorist bombing attacks in Madrid 
        that occurred on March 11, 2004, and expresses its deepest 
        sympathy to the individuals injured in such attacks and to the 
        people of the Kingdom of Spain on the one year anniversary of 
        the attacks;
            (2) condemns the terrorist attacks that occurred on March 
        11, 2004, and all acts of terror worldwide; and
            (3) expresses its solidarity with Spain and all other 
        countries that have been attacked during the Global War on 
        Terrorism.
