H. RES. 388
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States
should seek a final and conclusive account of the whereabouts and definitive
fate of Raoul Wallenberg.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 4, 1992
Mr. MCGRATH for himself, submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States
should seek a final and conclusive account of the whereabouts and definitive
fate of Raoul Wallenberg.
Whereas Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish citizen and diplomat, was responsible
for saving the lives of fifteen thousand Hungarian Jews through the issuance
of Swedish passports, and helping a further one hundred thousand Hungarian
Jews escape Nazi authorities during World War II;
Whereas, on January 17, 1945, Raoul Wallenberg was taken into `protective
custody' by Soviet troops, in violation of all international standards of
diplomatic immunity;
Whereas Raoul Wallenberg was later arrested by Soviet troops on charges of
spying, and finally taken to Lubyanka Prison in Moscow, where he was reported
to have died on July 17, 1947, of a heart attack;
Whereas conflicting reports and information has surfaced over the last
forty-four years claiming that Raoul Wallenberg was executed by Soviet
authorities or in fact is still alive in the former Soviet Union;
Whereas the Soviet Union has now ceased to exist and has been succeeded by
the Commonwealth of Independent States which has pursued democratic reform
while seeking to address Soviet atrocities of the past; and
Whereas the time has come to finally put an end to all speculation and
confusion as to the fate of Raoul Wallenberg: Now, therefore, be it
  Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
  (1) gratefully acknowledges the cooperation of the Soviet and now Russian
  authorities in providing records and personal effects of Raoul Wallenberg
  to his family;
  (2) requests that the President of the United States pursue, through
  diplomatic discussions with the Government of the Russian Federation,
  an investigation into the whereabouts and definitive fate of Raoul
  Wallenberg; and
  (3) requests that the results of this investigation be made public.
