,collins of ,georgia1 ,mr4 ,johnson of

submitted the following resolution2     
which was referred to the ,committee on 
,foreign ,affairs  ,,resolution         
,expressing the sense of the ,house of  
,representatives that ,united ,states   
foreign aid to the ,palestinian         
,authority should be suspended until    
,palestinian ,authority ,government     
,resolutions relating to providing a    
monthly salary to anyone imprisoned in  
,israel's prisons as a result of        
participation in the struggle against   
the ,israeli occupation are repealed4   
,whereas since fiscal year #bjjh1 the   
annual regular-year ,united ,states     
bilateral assistance to the ,west ,bank 
and ,gaza ,strip has averaged           

approximately #ejj million1 including   
annual averages of approximately #bjj   
million in direct budgetary assistance  
and #ajj million in non-lethal security 
assistance for the ,palestinian         
,authority in the ,west ,bank2 ,whereas 
the ,government ,accountability ,office 
has found some glaring insufficiencies  
in the vetting process of the foreign   
aid grants to the ,palestinian          
,authority and as such it is very easy  
for ,united ,states foreign aid dollars 
to be used to provide a monthly stipend 
for accused terrorists2 ,whereas        
,palestinian ,authority ,government     
,resolutions #ba and #bc 7#bjaj7        
codified into law a longstanding        
,palestinian ,authority practice of     
providing a monthly salary to anyone    
imprisoned in the occupation's ,israel's
 prisons as a result of his             
participation in the struggle against   
the occupation42 and ,whereas1 according
 to the ,palestinian ,authority's       
definition1 more than #d1ejj            

,palestinian prisoners as of ,december  
#bjab are serving time for              
terror-related offenses and are         
recipients of salaries allocated from   
the ,palestinian ,authority's general   
salary budget that range from #b1djj to 
#ab1jjj shekels 7#fhj to #c1djj7 a      
month3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that it 
is the sense of the ,house of           
,representatives that ,united ,states   
foreign aid to the ,palestinian         
,authority should be suspended until    
,palestinian ,authority ,government
