create a vital link which has helped bring meaning and 
prosperity to both; 
Whereas the Kingdom of Norway and the United States have 
both experienced that there are those willing to use acts 
of terror and violence to undermine the causes of freedom 
and democracy; 
Whereas the whole world stands in horror of the attacks of 
July 22, 2011, on government buildings in Oslo and a 
youth camp on Utoya Island in which dozens of innocent 
persons lost their lives; 
Whereas the attacks are the antithesis of the Norwegian spir-
it of peacefulness, neighborliness, and creative relation-
ships; and 
Whereas Norway places extraordinary value on its children 
and community building, making the attacks at the youth 
camp all the more horrific: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns, in the strongest possible terms, 
the terrorist attacks in Oslo and Utoya, Norway, on 
July 22, 2011; 
(2) cherishes the longstanding friendship and 
solidarity between the Kingdom of Norway and the 
United States, built on the shared values of peace, 
freedom, and democracy; 
(3) expresses its deepest condolences through 
its thoughts and prayers to the families and friends 
of those individuals who were killed or injured in the 
attacks;

(4) reaffirms the United States joint mission 
with the Kingdom of Norway to seek peace and rec-
onciliation around the world; and 
(5) states with the firmest conviction that the 
forces of division, terror, and violence around the 
world will not prevail because the friends of peace 
will always remain united.
