       Whereas barbaric acts were committed against a citizen of 
     the United States; and

       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) mourns the death of Daniel Pearl and expresses its 
     condolences to his wife, unborn child, and family; and
       (2) salutes Daniel Pearl for his principled and fearless 
     pursuit of journalistic excellence.
