a Roman Catholic priest, and people across the spectrum
of Argentine Society;
Whereas Argentina’s Jewish community, which numbers
300,000 and is the largest Jewish community in Latin
America, has suffered periods of severe anti-Semitism
during periods of military rule and feels particularly vul-
nerable to assault from certain radical Islamic groups
and from indigenous far right extremists in Argentina;
Whereas Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the bombing
of the Israeli Embassy and praised the name of the al-
leged suicide bomber, Abu Yasser, by calling him a ‘‘mar-
tyr struggler,’’ and Islamic Jihad is a terrorist organiza-
tion that is supported by Iran and United States Depart-
ment officials have stated that Iranian diplomats col-
lected information to plan the bombing;
Whereas the failure of Argentine and international efforts to
bring the perpetrators of the embassy bombing to justice
made Argentina a prime target for a second devastating
terrorist attack on July 18, 1994, just two years after
the bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires,
when the Asociacion Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA)
Jewish Community Center was destroyed in a similar car
bombing in which 86 people died and over 200 people
were injured; and
Whereas the effectiveness of the investigation of the Israeli
embassy bombing, which is being conducted by the Su-
preme Court of Argentina, has been hampered by the in-
efficiency of having the entire membership of the court
in charge of the investigation: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress—

(1) notes with regret that March 17, 1997,
marked the fifth anniversary of the bombing of the
Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, that it is now
more than two and a half years since the bombing
of the AMIA Jewish Community Center, and that
police and judicial authorities in Argentina have not
yet identified and initiated prosecution of the per-
petrators of these two barbarous acts of terrorism;
(2) urges the Supreme Court of Argentina to
designate a single investigative judge to conduct the
investigation of the terrorist bombing of the Israeli
Embassy in order to improve the efficiency of the in-
quiry;
(3) urges Argentinean judicial authorities to
move forward aggressively in the investigation of the
terrorist bombing of the AMIA Jewish Community
Center because of the probability that there is a con-
nection between the bombing and the bombing of the
Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires;
(4) urges Argentinean authorities to acknowl-
edge publicly the reports submitted by Argentinian,
United States, and Israeli experts, which determined
that the explosion at the Israeli Embassy took place
outside the walls of the embassy;
HCON 50 IH
(5) urges the President and appropriate execu-
tive agencies to provide all appropriate assistance
which has been or which may be requested by Ar-
gentinean Government authorities in order to help
that Government in investigating these acts of ter-

Whereas during the lifetime of the employee and the spouse,
the employee receives a full annuity and so does the
spouse;
Whereas, however, after the employee’s death, only a widow’s
or widower’s annuity is payable, which under current law
is no less than that widow or widower received as a
spouse in the month before the employee’s death;
Whereas this widow’s or widower’s annuity is often found in-
adequate and leaves the survivor with less than the
amount of income needed to meet ordinary and necessary
living expenses; and
Whereas no outside contributions from the American tax-
payer are needed, and any changes will be paid for from
within the railroad industry itself: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That—
(1) the Congress of the United States recog-
nizes the concern of many in the railroad industry
that the spousal annuity under the current system
is inadequate and often leaves the survivor with less
than the amount of income needed to meet ordinary
and necessary living expenses;
(2) the Congress of the United States also rec-
ognizes that a process of dialogue must take place
among all parties of the railroad community includ-
ing rail labor, management and retiree organizations

Whereas each April, Members of Congress join the Armenian-
