                          Concurrent Resolution

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.
  Attest:

                                 Clerk of the House of Representatives.

  Attest:

                                               Secretary of the Senate.
