H. Res. 1091
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
December 8, 2006.
Whereas Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ex-
pressed his intention to hold an international Holocaust 
denial conference entitled ‘‘Study of Holocaust: A Global 
Perspective’’, to begin on December 11, 2006, in Tehran; 
Whereas in August 2006, Iran staged an international con-
test of cartoons on the Holocaust, endorsing and pro-
moting prevailing anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli stereo-
types and Holocaust denial; 
Whereas Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wrote in a letter in July 
2006 to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, ‘‘Is it not a 
reasonable possibility that some countries that had won 
the war (World War II) made up this excuse to con-
stantly embarrass the defeated people . . . to bar their 
progress.’’; 
Whereas on October 26, 2005, in a conference entitled, ‘‘The 
World without Zionism’’, President Ahmadinejad stated 
in a speech that ‘‘Israel must be wiped off the map.’’; 
Whereas thereafter, these anti-Semitic comments were broad-
ly condemned by the United Nations and others, includ-
ing in a measure passed by a unanimous vote of the 
United States House of Representatives on October 28, 
2005;
•HRES 1091 EH 
Whereas Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s current intent to host an 
international Holocaust denial conference is only the lat-
est in a series of threatening, anti-Semitic, Holocaust de-
nial statements and actions he has undertaken since as-
suming power; 
Whereas to deny the Holocaust’s occurrence is in itself an act 
of anti-Semitism; 
Whereas one who denies the Holocaust, denies the greatest 
modern tragedy of the Jewish people and the most ex-
treme act of anti-Semitism in modern history; 
Whereas Ahmadinejad’s statements and actions occur in the 
midst of Iran’s relentless defiance of the international 
community by rejecting nuclear nonproliferation stand-
ards and the latest United Nations Security Council de-
mand that Iran immediately halt its efforts to enrich ura-
nium; and 
Whereas the longstanding policy of the Iranian regime aimed 
at destroying the democratic State of Israel, highlighted 
by statements made by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, under-
scores the threat posed by a nuclear Iran: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) condemns in the strongest terms Iran’s commit-
ment to hold an international holocaust denial con-
ference on December 11-12, 2006, and any and all anti-
Semitic statements made by Iranian President Mahmoud 
Ahmadinejad and other Iranian leaders; 
(2) reaffirms the United States commitment to pre-
vent a nuclear Iran;
•HRES 1091 EH 
(3) calls on the United Nations to officially and 
publicly repudiate all of Iran’s anti-Semitic statements 
made at such conference and hold accountable United 
Nations member states that encourage or echo such 
statements; 
(4) calls on the United Nations Security Council to 
strengthen its commitment to taking measures necessary 
to prevent Iran from possessing nuclear power; 
(5) reaffirms the United States longstanding friend-
ship with and support for the State of Israel; and 
(6) vows to never forget the murder of millions in 
the Holocaust and affirms its commitment to ensuring 
that such genocide never happen again. 
Attest:
Clerk.
