The Committee on General Affairs submits the following Resolution to the Assembly :
" The Assembly,
Considering that the free peoples of Europe and of the United States have many vital problems in common,
Considering that the solidarity between them arises not only from the common dangers they have to face, but is also the reflection of their common origin, and of their community of thought and civilisation,
Taking note that the Committee of Ministers in their Message to the Assembly has declared that it would welcome any initiative of the Assembly designed to establish links with the Congress of the United States,
Believing that it would be of the greatest interest for public opinion in the democracies if these problems of common interest were to be discussed by delegations from the two Houses of the Congress of the United States and from the Consultative Assembly,
Instructs its Bureau
To approach the Congress of the United States through the Speakers of both Houses for the purpose of arranging for such a discussion to take place in public, preferably in Strasbourg, or, if for any reason circumstances make it desirable, in Washington, at a date mutually convenient, and in accordance with an agenda drawn up in advance by agreement between the officers of the Congress of tho United States and the Bureau of the Consultative Assembly, "
