                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Commending the District of Columbia National Guard, the National Guard 
    Bureau, and the entire Department of Defense for the assistance 
      provided to the United States Capitol Police and the entire 
   Congressional community in response to the terrorist and anthrax 
                 attacks of September and October 2001.

Whereas the terrorist and anthrax attacks of September and October 2001 required 
        Congress and the entire Congressional community to respond to a 
        heightened state of emergency;
Whereas the men and women of the United States Capitol Police were required to 
        shoulder the greatest burden of this emergency response by working 
        tremendously increased hours under difficult conditions, requiring great 
        sacrifices by them and their families;
Whereas the District of Columbia National Guard responded to the call of the 
        Capitol Police Board and provided National Guard troops to assist the 
        United States Capitol Police in protecting the Capitol complex, 
        providing great relief to the members of the United States Capitol 
        Police; and
Whereas the combined efforts of the United States Capitol Police and the 
        District of Columbia National Guard have made the Capitol complex secure 
        for Members of Congress, Congressional employees, and visitors, and 
        thereby have enabled Congress to continue to discharge its 
        constitutional duties on behalf of the American people: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress commends the District of Columbia National Guard, the 
National Guard Bureau, and the entire Department of Defense for the 
assistance provided to the United States Capitol Police and the entire 
Congressional community in response to the terrorist and anthrax 
attacks of September and October 2001.
