Resolved. That it is the sense of the Senate that (a) the President of the United States should proclaim to all nations that the Government of the United States tolerates no distinction based on religious faith among its own citizens just as it makes none among the citizens and subjects of any other country and that it regards any such distinctions directed against United States citizens as incompatible with the relations that should exist among friendly nations. and (b) no agency of the United States shall refrain from assigning any otherwise qualified American citizen to military. diplomatic or other service within any foreign country solely because of that countrys objection on grounds of religious affiliation to any American or class of Americans: and (c) every treaty. convention. or executive agreement entered into or renewed between any foreign state and the United States should expressly provide that no United States citizens shall. solely because of religious affiliation or derivation. be denied the advantages of travel. employment or trade or any other benefit made possible by such treaty. convention or agreement.
