establishing a committee to study the federal government's response to the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty.
HB 256 establishes a New Hampshire committee to study the federal government's response to the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty, a U.S. Navy ship. The committee - comprising four House members, one Senate member, and one public appointee - will investigate whether the U.S. government properly determined Israeli civilian and military culpability in the attack. It must report findings and recommendations to New Hampshire's congressional delegation by November 1, 2025. This is a procedural study bill with no direct policy changes, focusing solely on examining historical federal actions.
