 ,mr4 ,khanna1 ,mr4 ,cisneros1 and ,mr4 
,de,fazio7 submitted the following      
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,foreign ,affairs         
,,resolution  ,requesting the ,president
 to strongly condemn ,jamal ,khashoggi's

 killing1 hold accountable individuals  
identified as culpable1 and condemn     
imprisonment of and violence against    
journalists around the world4  ,whereas 
,jamal ,khashoggi was a ,saudi          
journalist born on ,october #ac1 #aieh1 
who was murdered in the ,saudi ,arabian 
consulate in ,turkey on ,october #b1    
#bjah2 ,whereas ,mr4 ,khashoggi wrote   
for and edited a number of publications1
 including the ,washington ,post1 ,al   
,watan1 ,arab ,news1 and ,al ,madina2   
,whereas1 during his career1 ,mr4       
,khashoggi covered events in            
,afghanistan1 ,algeria1 ,kuwait1 and    
across the ,middle ,east2 ,whereas ,mr4 
,khashoggi represented a rare example of
 a journalist in ,saudi ,arabia by      
questioning regime policies and covering
 unfavorable events2 ,whereas ,mr4      
,khashoggi became a champion of         
,american values1 including democracy1  
freedom of the press1 and women's       
rights2 ,whereas ,mr4 ,khashoggi openly 
questioned the ,saudi regime's policies1

 including its war in ,yemen1 crackdown 
on dissenters1 and isolation of ,qatar2 
,whereas voicing differences with ,saudi
 ,arabia's rulers forced ,mr4 ,khashoggi
 to flee ,saudi ,arabia2 ,whereas ,mr4  
,khashoggi became a permanent resident  
of the ,united ,states in ,june #bjag   
and began writing for the ,washington   
,post in ,september #bjag2 ,whereas the 
,saudi regime targeted ,mr4 ,khashoggi  
and his writings by marshaling a host of
 online trolls to delegitimize and      
harass ,mr4 ,khashoggi and other ,saudi 
dissidents2 ,whereas ,saudi officials   
lured ,mr4 ,khashoggi to the ,saudi     
consulate in ,istanbul under a false    
sense of security2 ,whereas upon arrival
 ,mr4 ,khashoggi was tortured1 killed1  
and dismembered by ,saudi agents flown  
in from ,saudi ,arabia for this purpose2
 ,whereas the ,saudi regime subsequently
 engaged in a weeks-long campaign of    
obfuscation1 deception1 and lying to    
deny ,saudi involvement in ,mr4         
,khashoggi's murder2 ,whereas1 when     

confronted with clear evidence of ,mr4  
,khashoggi's death at the hands of      
,saudi agents1 ,saudi officials blamed  
the murder on rogue operators within its
 ,government2 ,whereas the ,trump       
administration subsequently sanctioned  
only relatively junior ,saudi officials1
 many of whom had been identified as    
culpable by the ,saudi regime2 ,whereas 
an independent report conducted by      
,united ,nations investigator ,agnes    
,callamard concluded that there is      
sufficient credible evidence that ,saudi
 ,arabia's ,crown ,prince bears         
responsibility for the assassination and
 that1 based on definitions in          
international law1 the kingdom conducted
 ,khashoggi's deliberate1 premeditated  
execution2 and that ,saudi ,arabia's    
,crown ,prince should face targeted     
sanctions ''' until and unless evidence 
is provided and corroborated that he    
carries no responsibilities for this    
execution42 ,whereas ,president ,trump  
has explicitly prioritized ,saudi       

purchases of ,united ,states weaponry   
over the ,saudi regime's murder of ,mr4 
,khashoggi and continues to show        
disrespect for journalistic freedoms2   
,whereas ,saudi ,arabia's leaders       
continue to crack down on dissenters and
 reforms1 disregard basic rights1 and   
perpetrate destabilizing foreign        
policies2 ,whereas the ,committee to    
,protect ,journalists found that1 in    
#bjah1 there were at least #bea         
journalists imprisoned because of their 
work globally2 ,whereas1 in #bjah1      
,saudi ,arabia imprisoned at least #af  
journalists for their work2 ,whereas    
,turkey1 ,china1 and ,egypt all imprison
 high numbers of journalists2 ,whereas1 
in #bjah1 the ,committee to ,protect    
,journalists found that there were at   
least #ed journalists killed globally1  
including in the ,united ,states2       
,whereas ,president ,trump has been     
reluctant to condemn the killing and    
imprisonment of journalists generally   
and ,mr4 ,khashoggi in particular2 and  

,whereas ,president ,trump has himself  
praised violence against journalists and
 called the media the enemy of the      
,american people3 ,now1 therefore1 be it
 ,that the ,house of ,representatives   
requests that the ,president--  7#a7    
strongly condemn ,jamal ,khashoggi's    
killing and hold accountable individuals
 identified as culpable by ,united      
,states intelligence agencies2  7#b7    
condemn imprisonment of and violence    
against journalists around the world2   
7#c7 cease describing the media in terms
 that could encourage violence against  
journalists2 and  7#d7 use tools of     
,united ,states power1 including        
diplomacy1 sanctions1 and military      
sales1 to encourage other countries to  
respect and further press freedom4
