,conaway submitted the following        
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,foreign ,affairs         
,,resolution  ,expressing the sense of  
the ,house of ,representatives on       
support for ,georgia4  ,whereas ,georgia
 is a valued friend of the ,united      
,states and has repeatedly demonstrated 
its commitment to advancing the mutual  
interests of both countries1 including  
the deployment of ,georgian forces as   
part of the ,international ,security    
,assistance ,force 7,,isaf7 led by the  
,north ,atlantic ,treaty ,organization  
7,,nato7 in ,afghanistan and the        
,multi-,national ,force in ,iraq2       
,whereas the ,european ,deterrence      
,initiative builds the partnership      
capacity of ,georgia so it can work more
 closely with the ,united ,states and   
,,nato1 as well as provide for its own  
defense2 ,whereas in addition to the    

,european ,deterrence ,initiative1      
,georgia's participation in the ,,nato  
initiative ,partnership for ,peace is   
paramount to interoperability with the  
,united ,states and ,,nato1 and         
establishing a more peaceful environment
 in the region2 and ,whereas despite the
 losses suffered1 as a ,,nato partner of
 ,,isaf1 ,georgia is committed to the   
,resolute ,support ,mission in          
,afghanistan with one of the largest    
contingents on the ground3 ,now1        
therefore1 be it  ,that the ,house of   
,representatives-- 7#a7 reaffirms       
,united ,states support for ,georgia's  
sovereignty and territorial integrity   
within its internationally recognized   
borders1 and does not recognize the     
independence of the ,abkhazia and ,south
 ,ossetia regions currently occupied by 
the ,russian ,federation2 and  7#b7     
supports continued cooperation between  
the ,united ,states and ,georgia and the
 efforts of the ,government of ,georgia 
to provide for the defense of its people

 and sovereign territory4
