The link about the congressional resolution did not say anything about partition of Palestine. It just said that congress endorsed the Balfour Declaration, which called for a Jewish national homeland in Palestine while protecting the rights of the existing Christian and non-jewish communities as well as the holy places.

Partition was done by the U.N. in 1947
