members of the u.s. senate, realizing similar “worrisome trends” in the region also drafted a letter of support for morocco. in march 2010, a bi-partisan majority of u.s. senators signed a letter to secretary of state hillary clinton calling for the united states to support morocco's autonomy plan. similar to the house of representative's letter to president obama, the 54 bipartisan senators (30 democrats and 24 republicans) who signed the letter stated concerns about growing instability in the region, including a terrorist threat. the letter openly called on secretary clinton and the obama administration to provide: “…more sustained american attention to one of the region's most pressing political issues, the western sahara.” the letter further stated: “as you acknowledged in your remarks in morocco last november, it has been the policy of the united states to support a resolution of this conflict based on this formula since the administration of president clinton. we support this bipartisan u.s. policy and the efforts of the united nations to bring all parties together to resolve this matter peacefully at the negotiating table.” signers included senate intelligence committee chairwoman, senator dianne feinstein (d-ca) and ranking intelligence committee member senator kit bond (r-mo). in regards to morocco's autonomy plan, senator feinstein said, "the way i feel about it, morocco has been a staunch ally of the united states, this is a big problem, and this is a reasonable way to settle it."
