                               RESOLUTION


 
                 To memorialize DEA agent Richard Fass.

Whereas Richard Fass, a Drug Enforcement Administration agent, was slain in the 
        line of duty in Phoenix, Arizona, last night;
Whereas, to date, 26 DEA agents have been killed in the line of duty;
Whereas over 13,000 names have been placed on the Law Enforcement Memorial 
        honoring law enforcement officers from all across the country who have 
        been killed in the line of duty;
Whereas the entire law enforcement family shares in the pain and the grief when 
        a fellow officer is lost;
Whereas it helps to ease the pain and suffering when fellow officers are present 
        to share the loss;
Whereas current law permits active military officers to travel in an official 
        capacity to funerals of fellow colleagues killed in the line of duty;
Whereas the nation mourns the loss of this fine, young, and dedicated law 
        enforcement officer; and
Whereas the Senate sends its condolences to the family of Richard Fass: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Administration should submit legislation to the 
Congress which authorizes Federal law enforcement officers to be 
excused from duty without loss or reduction in pay, leave, or credit 
for service, to attend the funeral of a fellow Federal law enforcement 
officer who was killed in the line of duty and, in the interim, the 
Attorney General should exercise her authority to permit DEA personnel 
to attend the funeral or related services of agent Richard Fass.
