Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that the 
United States should encourage and support the Govern-
ment of Iraq to pursue a policy that would realign the 
provinces of Iraq to reflect ethnic boundaries among Shi-
ites, Sunnis, and Kurds and provide opportunity for those 
groups to exercise control over designated areas.
