Whereas teams of gunmen stormed various locations through-
out Mumbai, including two prominent hotels, a local cafe´, 
a Jewish outreach center, a hospital, a railroad station, 
and a cinema, shooting and torturing their victims and 
setting off grenades and explosives along the way; 
Whereas after 60 hours of terror, these attacks were success-
fully brought to an end on November 29, 2008, by the 
Indian government; 
Whereas media outlets are currently reporting hundreds of 
injured victims and 172 fatalities, including 6 Americans; 
Whereas President George W. Bush and President-elect 
Barack Obama immediately condemned the Mumbai at-
tacks and extended their condolences and the support of 
the American people to all Indians; 
Whereas this is the second large-scale terrorist attack in 
Mumbai since the July 2006 train bombings; 
Whereas India has long been ravaged by similar attacks over 
the past few years in other large Indian cities, including 
Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad, as well as 
by attacks abroad, most recently at the Indian Embassy 
in Kabul; 
Whereas India has been a strong partner of the United 
States in combating violent extremism and offered imme-
diate support to the United States after the terrorist at-
tacks of September 11, 2001; and 
Whereas the United States and India are both multicultural, 
multiethnic, multi-religious democracies that oppose ter-
rorism in all its forms and will continue to work stead-
fastly to overcome terrorist ideologies and to promote 
international peace and security: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
