                       One Hundred Third Congress

                                 of the

                        United States of America


                          AT THE FIRST SESSION

          Begun and held at the City of Washington on Tuesday,
  the fifth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-three


                          Concurrent Resolution

Whereas Special Agents Steve Willis, Robert J. Williams, Conway LeBleu 
  and Todd McKeehan, of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 
  were killed by hostile gunfire in the performance of a heroic effort 
  to disarm a hostile cult and to protect the lives of innocent persons, 
  including children, living in its compound;
Whereas these men, along with 15 other special agents who were wounded 
  during this confrontation, were members of the Bureau of Alcohol, 
  Tobacco and Firearms elite Special Response Teams, whose members are 
  highly-trained and experienced in the execution of high-risk 
  operations;
Whereas such Special Response Teams have been deployed over 230 times in 
  the past year with no injury to any agent, including during a highly-
  publicized siege involving a fugitive white supremacist and during the 
  Los Angeles civil disturbances in 1992;
Whereas 182 special agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and 
  Firearms have been killed in the line of duty since Prohibition; and
Whereas the men and women of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms 
  mourn the loss of their brother officers, but maintain discipline and 
  a commitment to the protection of our citizens at the risk of their 
  own lives on a daily basis: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the sacrifice and dedication of the agents of the Bureau of 
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is a cornerstone of our system of justice 
and cause for both sorrow and pride.
  Attest:







                                                Secretary of the Senate.

  Attest:







                                  Clerk of the House of Representatives.
