CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that Warren Weinstein should be returned home to his family.
Whereas Warren Weinstein was abducted in Pakistan in 2011 and is currently being held captive by
al-Qaeda;
Whereas Warren Weinstein is a former Peace Corps and former United States Agency for International
Development official;
Whereas Warren Weinstein is widely recognized as a scholar and humanitarian who has spent his
career working to improve the lives of men, women, and children around the
world; and
Whereas video released of Warren Weinstein by his captors confirms that he is in poor health: Now,
therefore, be it
That it is the sense of Congress that the Administration should—
(1) use all of the lawful tools at its disposal to bring Warren Weinstein home to his family;
(2) make the return of all United States citizens held captive abroad, regardless of their different
circumstances, a top priority; and
(3) keep Congress apprised of its actions to achieve these goals as new information is available, or
quarterly if no new information is available.
