 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) Israel shares the commitment to democratic government and the market economy that is the foundation of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD); (2) Israel meets the OECD's membership requirements and has been an active participant as a non-member country in various OECD activities; and (3) the U.S. government should advocate Israel's accession to the OECD, including through coordination of efforts with Mexico, Great Britain, and other countries supportive of Israel's OECD membership.
