Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the current inquiries into the activities of the British West Midlands Crime Squad must be extended to cover the period of the Birmingham bombings of November 21, 1974; (2) the British Prime Minister should call upon the British Home Secretary to reopen the case of the Birmingham Six (those convicted for the bombings); (3) the convictions of such individuals should be quashed; and (4) the President should raise with the British Prime Minister concern for the basic human rights violations and miscarriage of justice arising from the continued incarceration of such individuals.
