IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JULY 28, 1994
Mr. ACKERMAN (for himself, Mr. GILMAN, Mr. LANTOS, Mr. TORRICELLI, Mr.
MFUME, Mr. SERRANO, and Mr. BEREUTER) submitted the following res-
olution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
RESOLUTION
Condemning the terrorist attack on the Delegation of Argen-
tine Israeli Associations on July 18, 1994, the terrorist
attack on a Panamanian commuter plane on July 20,
1994, and the terrorist bombings near the Israeli em-
bassy and a building housing Israeli and Jewish organi-
zations in London on July 26, 1994.
Whereas the bombing of the Delegation of Argentine Israeli
Associations on July 18, 1994, is the deadliest attack on
Jews in the Western Hemisphere to date, and the worst
attack on Jews outside Israel since World War II;
•HRES 496 IH
Whereas the attack on the Delegation of Argentine Israeli
Associations was directed at the center of Jewish life in
Argentina;
Whereas the intimidation of the innocent continues through
bomb threats against the hospital that is caring for the
victims of the attack;
Whereas, on July 20, 1994, in another savage terrorist at-
tack, a Panamanian commuter plane was blown up, kill-
ing 21 persons, 12 of whom were Jewish;
Whereas the same Lebanon-based group, calling itself the
‘‘Partisans of God’’, took responsibility for both diabolical
acts;
Whereas, on July 26, 1994, a bomb, apparently planted by
terrorists, exploded near the Israeli embassy in London,
injuring 14 persons;
Whereas on the same day a second bomb exploded in the
north of London outside a building housing Israeli and
Jewish organizations, injuring 5 persons;
Whereas terrorism, neo-Nazi activities, and anti-Semitic ac-
tivity throughout the world continue to escalate, and the
safety and security of Jewish people throughout the
world is a matter of serious concern;
Whereas the kind of vicious hatred that motivated these at-
tacks is still prevalent in many countries throughout the
world, including the United States;
Whereas some fanatics are apparently so opposed to the Mid-
dle East peace process that they are willing to murder in-
nocent people to sabotage it; and
Whereas terrorism must be condemned in the strongest terms
whenever and wherever it occurs: Now, therefore, be it
•HRES 496 IH
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) extends it condolences to the families and
friends who lost loved ones in the bombing of the
Delegation of Argentine Israeli Associations on July
18, 1994, and the Panamanian commuter plane on
July 20, 1994;
(2) condemns these inhuman and unforgivable
terrorist attacks on innocent people, and calls for
worldwide cooperation in bringing the perpetrators
of this crime against humanity to justice;
(3) expresses support for the Jewish commu-
nities in Argentina, Panama, and the United King-
dom, and their efforts to attain safety and security
in their own countries;
(4) urges the governments and the people of
Argentina, Panama, and the United Kingdom, to
continue to work to stamp out the scourge of anti-
Semitism and neo-Nazism; and
(5) condemns anti-Semitism, neo-Nazi activi-
ties, and terrorism wherever they occur, and urges
the international community to do the same.
