                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing sympathy for and solidarity with the people of the Russian 
        Federation following the bombing of the Nevsky Express.

Whereas on the night of November 27, 2009, a bomb exploded on the railroad 
        tracks derailing the Nevsky Express, a passenger train traveling from 
        Moscow to St. Petersburg, Russia;
Whereas more than 25 people were killed and scores more wounded in this 
        terrorist attack;
Whereas the attack on the Nevsky Express was the worst terrorist attack in 
        Russia in years, outside the volatile North Caucasus;
Whereas such acts of violence against civilian targets are clearly intended to 
        spread fear across all levels of society and thus injure, at least 
        psychologically, a far greater number of people than those physically 
        present at the scene of the attack; and
Whereas the United States and many other nations have also experienced such acts 
        of terrorism: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) expresses sympathy for and solidarity with the people 
        of the Russian Federation following the bombing of the Nevsky 
        Express;
            (2) condemns all acts of terrorism wherever they may occur 
        and against whomever they may be directed; and
            (3) directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to 
        transmit a copy of this resolution to the Ambassador of the 
        Russian Federation to the United States.
