Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- In Committee
A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution expresses profound sorrow over the death of Alexander Michel Odeh. It notes his life as a peace activist, poet, and lecturer who was killed by a pipe bomb in 1985. The text points out that those responsible for this domestic terrorism have not yet been brought to justice. It states that the House of Representatives acknowledges his death and offers sympathy to his family and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. Finally, it orders the Clerk of the House to send the resolution to the Senate and the family, and causes the House to adjourn out of respect for Mr. Odeh.
