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

He served as the Southern California Regional Director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. The House of Representatives acknowledges him as a victim of domestic terrorism. Finally, the resolution offers sympathy to his family and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
