The House next week will vote on a resolution condemning the terrorist attacks in France and “reaffirming” the U.S.-France alliance.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said lawmakers will consider the resolution after they return on Monday.
A resolution condemning the attacks was introduced last week by Reps. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., and Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore.
“Next week, the House will consider a resolution condemning the terrorist attacks in Paris and offering our condolences to those affected by this inhumane act, which is a horrifying reminder of the continuing need to confront the growing global threat posed by radical Islamist terrorism,” McCarthy, R-Calif., said. “In trying times like these, the United States reaffirms its friendship with France and our joint efforts to fight terrorism.”
The Senate also plans to take up a bipartisan resolution condemning the attacks.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and others introduced the legislation last week.
“Now is the time for the international community to come together against acts of terror and support our allies as they bring the perpetrators of such violence to justice,” the senators said in a joint statement.
