                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the Senate in support of general elections in 
                               Venezuela.

Whereas the people of Venezuela should be free to elect their political leaders 
        through a fair and democratic process;
Whereas a clear majority of Venezuelans have rallied around the democratic 
        opposition, led by Maria Corina Machado and Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia;
Whereas the Maduro-Rodriguez regime does not have international legitimacy or 
        the support of the Venezuelan people; and
Whereas it is in the national interest of the United States to have a democratic 
        and free Venezuela, free of the corrosive influence of China, Iran, and 
        Cuba: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that the United States 
should use all diplomatic tools to support internationally monitored, 
free and fair elections in Venezuela.
