freedom of speech and the right of assembly were sus-
pended, and political leaders were placed under house ar-
rest; 
Whereas after the United States, India, the United Kingdom, 
and other countries and international organizations sus-
pended military assistance, the Nepalese political parties 
were allowed to resurface and eventually formed a seven- 
party alliance to provide a common voice against auto-
cratic rule; 
Whereas the seven parties eventually reached a tenuous 
agreement on a twelve-point program for a future demo-
cratic government and began a series of protests which 
escalated into the riots and chaos that have now engulfed 
the country; 
Whereas, on April 24, 2006, King Gyanendra announced the 
restoration of parliament four years after its dissolution, 
an offer which the political parties have tentatively ac-
cepted, but which the Maoist rebels within the country 
have openly rejected; 
Whereas the United States and Nepal have longstanding ties 
of friendship and good relations, and since contributing 
as Nepal’s first bilateral aid donor in January 1951, the 
United States has contributed more than $1.4 billion bi-
laterally and multilaterally to Nepal; and 
Whereas it is the policy of the United States to prevent a 
Maoist takeover of Nepal in order to achieve important 
United States regional and bilateral goals, including pre-
venting the spread of terror, enhancing regional stability, 
promoting democracy, and protecting United States citi-
