Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) Assyrians should be entitled to freely practice their religion and customs, speak their language, celebrate their culture, and be consulted and included in discussions regarding the composition of the future government of Iraq; and (2) the President should call for the future government of Iraq to uphold the rights of Assyrians and instruct the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations (UN) to work with the UN to ensure that the rights and concerns of Assyrians in Iraq are considered as debate over post-war Iraq continues.
