            (2) the Under Secretary for Political Affairs, acting 
        through the Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian 
        Affairs, should diplomatically engage governments of countries 
        of apparent concern on efforts for transatlantic cooperation to 
        counter and address Islamophobia that may threaten 
        transatlantic stability, the safety and security of United 
        States citizens, and institutions abroad.
