Full title
Strongly supporting an immediate and just restitution of, or compensation for, property illegally confiscated during the last century by Nazi and Communist regimes.
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Passed the House without a recorded vote, then expired. It passed by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted, but didn't become law before the 110th Congress ended.

What it does: CRS summary · Passed House amended · Sep 23, 2008
Praises the efforts by those countries in Central and Eastern Europe that have enacted legislation for the restitution of, or compensation for, private and communal religious property confiscated during the Nazi and Communist eras.
Urges the countries in Central and Eastern Europe that have not already done so to return confiscated properties to their rightful owners or, where restitution is not possible, pay equitable compensation.
Calls on: (1) the governments of Poland and of Lithuania to enact legislation so that persons (or their heirs) whose property, or communities whose communal or religious property was confiscated during the Nazi or Communist eras are able to obtain restitution of, or compensation for, such property; (2) the President and the Secretary of State to continue to engage in dialogue with the governments of Poland and Lithuania supporting such legislation's adoption; and (3) the Secretary to report to Congress every six months regarding implementation of this resolution.
