CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Whereas the Jewish people have had a homeland in modern- 
day Israel for more than 3,000 years; 
Whereas on November 2, 1917, United Kingdom Foreign 
Secretary Lord Arthur Balfour wrote to Lord Walter 
Rothschild, to be declared to the Zionist Federation, a 
letter declaring, on behalf of the Government of
•HCON 92 EH 
the United Kingdom, support for a home for the Jewish 
people in the former Ottoman district of Palestine; 
Whereas this letter, known as the Balfour Declaration, was 
ratified by the League of Nations on July 24, 1922; 
Whereas on September 21, 1922, President Warren G. Har-
ding signed House Joint Resolution 322, after unanimous 
support from the House of Representatives and the Sen-
ate, favoring the establishment, in the former Ottoman 
district of Palestine, of a national home for the Jewish 
people; 
Whereas the Balfour Declaration clearly recognized and 
sought to uphold the ‘‘civil and religious rights of the ex-
isting non-Jewish communities in Palestine,’’ as well as 
the ‘‘rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any 
other country’’; 
Whereas the Balfour Declaration was a significant part of 
the chain of events that led to the establishment of the 
modern State of Israel on May 14, 1948; 
Whereas since Israel’s founding, it has been a strong and 
steadfast ally to the United States, and the relationship 
is built on a mutual commitment to shared values; 
Whereas Israel serves as a beacon for democracy by holding 
free and transparent elections and promoting the free ex-
change of ideas; 
Whereas in April 1998, the United States designated Israel 
as a Major Non-NATO ally and in 2014 was elevated to 
the status of a Major Strategic Partner; and 
Whereas the 100th Anniversary of the Balfour Declaration 
offers an opportunity for recommitment to strengthening 
the relationship between the United States and Israel: 
Now, therefore, be it
•HCON 92 EH 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) affirms its commitment to maintaining the 
strongest of bilateral ties with the State of Israel; 
(2) recognizes the importance of the establish-
ment of the modern State of Israel as a secure and 
democratic homeland for the Jewish people that up-
holds full and equal rights for all of its citizens; and 
(3) supports efforts to continue to increase eco-
nomic, security and cultural ties between the United 
States and Israel.
