                               RESOLUTION


 
    Calling on the Government of Pakistan to release Raymond Davis.

Whereas, on January 27, 2011, Raymond Davis was attacked by two armed men in 
        Lahore, Pakistan;
Whereas Raymond Davis shot and killed both men in self-defense;
Whereas Raymond Davis is a United States veteran and former Special Forces 
        soldier;
Whereas President Barack Obama called Raymond Davis ``our diplomat'' and said 
        that ``we expect Pakistan . . . [to recognize] Mr. Davis as a 
        diplomat.'';
Whereas Pakistan is among the world's leading recipients of United States aid 
        having received more than $10,700,000,000 between FY2001 and FY2010, 
        which included $6,000,000,000 in development and humanitarian aid;
Whereas on March 1, 2009, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates told an Afghan 
        interviewer that ``the ISI's contacts with some of these extremist 
        groups [such as those led by Hekmatyar, Haqqani, and others] are a real 
        concern for us.''; and
Whereas in a Los Angeles Times article published on September 22, 2009, the 
        then-top United States commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley 
        McChrystal, accused ISI elements of materially aiding insurgent groups 
        that attack coalition forces in Afghanistan: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives calls on the Government 
of Pakistan to release Raymond Davis in accordance with international 
standards of diplomatic protocol and, until such time, all United 
States monetary assistance to Pakistan should be frozen.
