RESOLUTION 
Condemning in the strongest terms Iran’s commitment to 
hold an international Holocaust denial conference on De-
cember 11–12, 2006. 
Whereas Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ex-
pressed his intention to hold an international Holocaust 
denial conference entitled ‘‘Study of Holocaust: A Global 
Perspective’’, to begin on December 11, 2006, in Tehran; 
Whereas the Iranian Government is openly supportive of Hol-
ocaust revisionists, who resolve that the systematic state- 
sponsored murder of 6,000,000 Jews and other targeted 
groups by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during 
World War II was either fabricated or exaggerated;

Whereas in August 2006, Iran staged a reprehensible inter-
national contest of cartoons on the Holocaust, endorsing 
and promoting prevailing anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli 
stereotypes and Holocaust denial; 
Whereas President Ahmadinejad wrote in a letter in July 
2006 to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, ‘‘Is it not a 
reasonable possibility that some countries that had won 
the war (World War II) made up this excuse to con-
stantly embarrass the defeated people . . . to bar their 
progress.’’; 
Whereas on October 26, 2005, in a conference entitled, ‘‘The 
World without Zionism’’, President Ahmadinejad stated 
in a speech that ‘‘Israel must be wiped off the map.’’; 
Whereas thereafter, these anti-Semitic comments were broad-
ly condemned by the United Nations and others, includ-
ing a measure passed by a unanimous vote of the United 
States House of Representatives on October 28, 2005; 
Whereas President Ahmadinejad’s current intent to host an 
international Holocaust denial conference is only the lat-
est abominable act he has taken in a series of threatening 
and anti-Semitic, Holocaust denial statements and ac-
tions since he rose to power; 
Whereas to deny the Holocaust’s occurrence is in itself an act 
of anti-Semitism; 
Whereas one who denies the Holocaust, denies the greatest 
tragedy of the Jewish people and the most extreme act 
of anti-Semitism in history; 
Whereas President Ahmadinejad’s past and present declara-
tions and actions—spewing outrageous anti-Semitic, anti- 
Israel rhetoric, remaining a primary source of funding, 
training, and support for terrorist groups seeking to de-

stroy Israel, and openly threatening Israel and the 
United States—prove President Ahmadinejad is on a na-
tional crusade of hatred and ultimate destruction against 
Israel and the Western civilized world; 
Whereas President Ahmadinejad’s statements and actions ar-
rive in the midst of Iran’s relentless defiance of the inter-
national community by rejecting nuclear nonproliferation 
standards and the latest United Nations Security Council 
demand that Iran immediately halt its efforts to enrich 
uranium; and 
Whereas the longstanding policy of the Iranian regime aimed 
at destroying the democratic State of Israel, highlighted 
by statements made by President Ahmadinejad, under-
scores the threat posed by a nuclear Iran: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns in the strongest terms Iran’s 
commitment to hold an international Holocaust de-
nial conference on December 11–12, 2006, and any 
and all vile anti-Semitic statements made by Iranian 
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other Iranian 
leaders; 
(2) calls on the United Nations to officially and 
publicly repudiate all of Iran’s anti-Semitic state-
ments made at such conference and hold accountable 
United Nations member states that encourage or 
echo such statements;

(3) calls on the United Nations Security Coun-
cil to strengthen its commitment to taking measures 
necessary to prevent Iran from possessing nuclear
