                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of Congress that the President should implement 
            Recommendation 9 of the Iraq Study Group Report.

Whereas immediately after the attacks on the United States on September 11, 
        2001, the Government of Iran signaled to the United States a willingness 
        to cooperate in the effort to find and capture the perpetrators of that 
        attack;
Whereas immediately after the United States invasion of Iraq in 2003, the 
        Government of Iran sent a message to the United States Department of 
        State proposing a broad dialogue with the United States, suggesting a 
        willingness to cooperate on nuclear programs, accept the State of 
        Israel, and terminate Iranian support for Palestinian militant groups; 
        and
Whereas the President of the United States recently praised the work of the Iraq 
        Study Group, stating that the administration, ``benefitted from the 
        thoughtful recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan panel 
        led by former Secretary of State James Baker and former Congressman Lee 
        Hamilton'': Now, therefore, be it:
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),  
That the President of the United States should implement Recommendation 
9 of the Iraq Study Group Report, which states: ``Under the aegis of 
the New Diplomatic Offensive and the [Iraq International] Support 
Group, the United States should engage directly with Iran and Syria in 
order to try to obtain their commitment to constructive policies toward 
Iraq and other regional issues. In engaging with Syria and Iran, the 
United States should consider incentives, as well as disincentives, in 
seeking constructive results.''.
