Georgian troops currently deployed to Iraq will be in-
creased to exceed 2,000 troops; 
Whereas the additional Georgian troops are reportedly to be 
deployed by June 2007 along Iraq’s border with Iran to 
help ensure that weapons from Iran do not reach the 
hands of extremists who seek to foment sectarian violence 
and instability in Iraq by targeting Coalition Forces, 
Iraqi Security Forces, and innocent men, women and 
children; 
Whereas, on August 23, 2006, Brig. Gen. Michael Barbero, 
deputy chief of operations of the Joint Staff, stated that 
the Iranian regime is providing funding, training, and 
equipment to Shiite militias in Iraq; 
Whereas, on September 28, 2006, Maj. Gen. Richard Zahner, 
deputy chief of staff for intelligence of the Multinational 
Force-Iraq (MNF–I), stated that the labels on C–4 explo-
sives found with Shiite militiamen in Iraq prove that the 
explosives came from Iran, and also stated that only the 
Iranian military apparatus controls access to such mili-
tary-grade explosives; 
Whereas, on September 19, 2006, then-CENTCOM Com-
mander, Gen. John Abizaid said that United States 
forces had found weaponry in Iraq that likely came from 
Iran, including a dual-warhead rocket-propelled-grenade 
RPG–29; 
Whereas, on January 31, 2007, the commander of Multi-
national Corps-Iraq, Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, said that the 
United States had traced back to Iran serial numbers of 
weapons captured in Iraq, which included Katyusha rock-
ets, rocket-propelled grenades, and roadside bombs;

Whereas, on February 11, 2007, United States military offi-
cials provided what they said was specific evidence that 
Iran had supplied explosively formed projectiles to Shiite 
militias; 
Whereas the effective policing of the Iran-Iraq border is an 
integral component to denying the Iranian regime the 
ability to support terrorists and extremists within Iraq; 
Whereas the contributions by Georgia to the military oper-
ations in Afghanistan are also an important component 
in the war against global terrorism; 
Whereas President Saakashvili also stated that Georgia would 
be increasing its military commitment in Afghanistan, 
where approximately 100 Georgian troops are presently 
deployed; and 
Whereas Georgia is a friend and ally of the United States: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) expresses its gratitude to the people and 
Government of the Republic of Georgia for their 
support and commitment to combating Islamist ter-
rorism worldwide and for their specific efforts in 
helping to bring security and stability in Iraq and 
Afghanistan; 
(2) shares the view of the Government of Geor-
gia that the stabilization of Iraq is important to the 
surrounding region;
