Bill > HR27

This resolution urges New Hampshire's congressional delegation to initiate a comprehensive investigation into the 1967 USS Liberty incident, a controversial attack by Israeli forces on a United States Navy research ship during the Six-Day War that resulted in 34 American crew members killed and 171 wounded. The resolution highlights several key concerns, including allegations that survivors were pressured to remain silent about the attack through threats of court-martial, claims that the prolonged attack (lasting approximately one hour) was inconsistent with claims of mistaken identity, and assertions that the ship was clearly marked with American identification. The resolution specifically calls for a full, transparent, and independent congressional investigation that would address the survivors' allegations, examine the circumstances of the attack, declassify all relevant documents, and hold public hearings to provide closure to the families of those killed and wounded. Additionally, the resolution requests that copies be sent to key government officials, including the President, congressional leadership, and New Hampshire's congressional delegation, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in addressing this historic incident.
