                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Whereas Jacob Chestnut and John Gibson of the United States Capitol Police laid 
        down their lives for their country and all of us;
Whereas beyond the devotion of Jacob Chestnut and John Gibson to duty, honor, 
        and country was their commitment to respect;
Whereas Jacob Chestnut and John Gibson were simple, humble, private men who 
        deeply moved this nation simply by doing their jobs;
Whereas the focus on their exemplary personal character could not have come at a 
        time of greater need as many in our country seem more and more dedicated 
        to self-indulgence; and
Whereas the Members of Congress have an unparalleled opportunity to be urgently 
        needed role models of respect and dignity with no loss of personal 
        principles: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Members of Congress should follow the example of Jacob Chestnut 
and John Gibson by living lives of love, respect, and integrity every 
day at all times, including on the floor of the Senate and House of 
Representatives, and should deserve the title ``Honorable'' by setting 
an example so that Jacob Chestnut and John Gibson did not die in vain.

            Passed the House of Representatives September 28, 1998.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
