This resolution honors the crew of the USS Liberty, a Navy ship that was attacked by Israeli forces on June 8, 1967, while operating in international waters. The attack killed 34 American sailors and wounded 174 others, and the resolution asserts that high-ranking military and intelligence officials believed the attack was deliberate rather than accidental, as officially concluded at the time. The House expresses its sense that the President should declassify all government records related to the attack, including documents from the Department of Defense, CIA, NSA, and other federal agencies that remain secret. The resolution also affirms that protecting American lives and the safety of servicemembers should be the paramount concern in U.S. foreign policy and should not be subordinated to the interests of other nations. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or enforcement mechanism, but it calls for transparency regarding a historically controversial military incident.
