  5    Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
  6        WHEREAS, on November 8, 2002, the United Nations Security  Council  deter-
  7    mined that "...Iraq has been and remains in material breach of its obligations
  8    under relevant resolutions"; and
  9        WHEREAS,  the resolution of the United Nations directed the United Nations
 10    Monitoring, Verification and Inspections Commission (UNMOVIC)  to  immediately
 11    resume  inspections  of  all  facilities, buildings, equipment and records and
 12    interviews of all individuals who might have  knowledge  of  weapons  of  mass
 13    destruction; and
 14        WHEREAS,  President George W. Bush endorsed adoption of the United Nations
 15    resolution and stated that the Security Council had "...met important  respon-
 16    sibilities, upheld its principles, and given clear and fair notice that Saddam
 17    Hussein must fully disclose and destroy his weapons of mass destruction."; and
 18        WHEREAS,  immediately  following  the  adoption of the resolution, weapons
 19    inspectors returned to Iraq and resumed inspections which had been interrupted
 20    for nearly ten years; and
 21        WHEREAS, the government of Iraq has filed  with  the  Security  Council  a
 22    report,  purported  to  be  a complete report of all facilities capable of the
 23    manufacture or storage of weaponry, and  which  asserts  that  there  are  not
 24    weapons of mass destruction under Iraqi control; and
 25        WHEREAS,  President Bush further stated that the United States would fully
 26    support efforts of the weapons inspectors and encouraged all  members  of  the
 27    United Nations to join in this crucial effort.
 28        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the First Regular Session
 29    of  the  Fifty-seventh Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives and the
 30    Senate concurring therein, that we endorse the position stated by  the  Presi-
 31    dent  of  the  United  States, the Honorable George W. Bush, and concur in his
 32    expression of support for the inspections currently under way by personnel  of
 33    the  UNMOVIC. Further, we commend the commitment of the President on behalf of
 34    the United States to act only through the auspices of the  United  Nations  to
 35    bring a just and final conclusion to the turmoil which has surrounded Iraq.
