  Calling on the United States Government to investigate the case of 
Tristan Anderson, a United States citizen from Oakland, California, who 
was critically injured in the West Bank village of Ni'lin on March 13, 
   2009, and expressing sympathy to Tristan Anderson and his family, 
            friends, and loved ones during this trying time.

Whereas, on March 13, 2009, Tristan Anderson was critically injured after being 
        struck in the head by a tear gas canister fired by Israeli Border Police 
        while engaging in peaceful protest activities in the West Bank village 
        of Ni'lin;
Whereas the Department of State has requested that the Government of Israel 
        provide a full, written, investigative report of the incident to the 
        United States Government and the Anderson family; and
Whereas due to the severe and extensive nature of his injuries, Tristan Anderson 
        remains hospitalized and in serious condition in the city of Tel Aviv: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) urges the Administration to raise the case of Tristan 
        Anderson, a United States citizen from Oakland, California, at 
        all appropriate multilateral and bilateral fora;
            (2) calls on the United States Government to undertake a 
        full, fair, and expeditious investigation of the circumstances 
        that led to the injury of Tristan Anderson;
            (3) encourages the Governments of the United States and 
        Israel to intensify their cooperation in determining all the 
        circumstances that led to this incident and to ensure that any 
        incident of this kind never occurs again, including by sharing 
        the details and results of any related investigations; and
            (4) expresses sympathy to Tristan Anderson and his family, 
        friends, and loved ones during this trying time.
