[H. Res. 385 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                        April 23, 2002.
Whereas the United States Customs Service offices located in 6 World Trade 
        Center were destroyed on September 11, 2001, as a result of terrorist 
        attacks;
Whereas the men and women of the United States Customs Service in 6 World Trade 
        Center selflessly, and at great risk, ensured no one was left behind in 
        the imperiled building and continued to extricate coworkers until all 
        760 Customs employees were safe and accounted for;
Whereas the men and women of the United States Customs Service in 6 World Trade 
        Center selflessly, and at great risk, ensured the safety of others while 
        assisting national, State, and local officials in continued rescue and 
        recovery efforts;
Whereas the United States Customs Service established a temporary operations 
        center at JFK Airport just hours after the attack and worked tirelessly 
        to permanently relocate the New York Customs office only 3 weeks later;
Whereas the dedicated men and women of the United States Customs Service 
        continue to sift through the debris at 6 World Trade Center to retrieve 
        vital evidence, which has since aided in recent criminal convictions; 
        and
Whereas the United States Customs Service, with increased resolve, continues its 
        vigil to safeguard our borders and serve on the frontline in our 
        Nation's war against terrorism, and the men and women of the United 
        States Customs Service represent a dedication to duty in the highest 
        traditions of the Department of the Treasury and the United States of 
        America: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) honors the continued dedication of the men and women assigned to 
        the United States Custom Service, New York operations;
            (2) recognizes the critical importance of the United States Customs 
        Service on the frontline of our national security efforts; and
            (3) supports providing the necessary resources to ensure the full 
        operation of the United States Customs Service, New York operations, and 
        that of Customs nationwide.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
