Plain-English summary
Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the United States should demand the prosecution of all suspected perpetrators of Palestinian terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and should seek the cooperation of the Palestinian Authority and all other appropriate authorities in the prosecution of these cases; and (2) the suspects should be tried in the United States unless it is determined that such action is contrary to effective prosecution.
