Star Print ordered on the concurrent resolution.
This resolution is a concurrent resolution in which Congress expresses its views and marks the 40th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem. It offers congratulations, commends past actions, reaffirms U.S. policy statements about Jerusalem, and urges progress toward a two-state peace. As a concurrent resolution, it states congressional sentiment but does not create binding law or require the President's signature.
Concurrent resolutions are adopted by both the House and Senate to express opinion or make internal congressional statements; they are not presented to the President and do not have the force of law or direct the executive branch.
This concurrent resolution commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Six Day War and the reunification of Jerusalem.
It congratulates Israel and Jerusalem residents, commends Egypt and Jordan for subsequent peace agreements, praises Israel’s administration of a united Jerusalem, reiterates support for the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, and urges renewed Israeli–Palestinian negotiations toward a two-state solution.
As a concurrent resolution it expresses Congressional sentiment and is not a law; cannot become law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this concurrent resolution is well-constructed as a symbolic instrument: it clearly states its commemorative purpose, uses standard and specific declarative clauses, and properly references existing law for rhetorical effect. It does not create legal obligations, appropriate to a symbolic/commemorative measure.
