SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 38--EXPRESSING THE SENSE OF CONGRESS THAT 
         WARREN WEINSTEIN SHOULD BE RETURNED HOME TO HIS FAMILY

  Ms. MIKULSKI (for herself and Mr. Cardin) submitted the following 
concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign 
Relations:

                            S. Con. Res. 38

       Whereas Warren Weinstein was abducted in Pakistan in 2011 
     and is currently being held captive by al Qaeda;
       Whereas Warren Weinstein is a former official of the Peace 
     Corps and the United States Agency for International 
     Development;
       Whereas Warren Weinstein is widely recognized as a scholar 
     and humanitarian who has spent his career working to improve 
     the lives of men, women, and children around the world; and
       Whereas video released of Warren Weinstein by his captors 
     confirms that he is in poor health: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that the United 
     States Government should--
       (1) use all of the lawful tools at its disposal to bring 
     Warren Weinstein home to his family;
       (2) make the return of all United States citizens held 
     captive abroad, regardless of their different circumstances, 
     a top priority; and
       (3) keep Congress apprised of actions to achieve these 
     goals as new information is available, or quarterly if no new 
     information is available.
