HOUSE RESOLUTION 173
WHEREAS, The Middle East continues to be the most troubled
and violent region on the planet; and
WHEREAS, Current trends, particularly associated with the
Islamic Republic of Iran and a group of insurgents in Iraq and
Syria who operate as the so-called "Islamic Caliphate" or
"ISIS", indicate that dangers to the United States and the
other free peoples of the world continue to increase; and
WHEREAS, In the midst of this troubled region, the State of
Israel stands forth as America's key ally and as a beacon of
hope to courageous and free people everywhere; and
WHEREAS, Dangers to the free world center not only on the
growing threat of terrorism, but also on the possibility that
Iran may acquire nuclear weaponry or acquire the means to
quickly obtain nuclear weaponry; and
WHEREAS, Leaders of Iran have expressed the desire to harm
or destroy Israel; Iran's policies constitute an existential
threat to the balance of power in the Middle East; therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
