  Honoring the 19 United States servicemen who died in the terrorist 
     bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia on June 25, 1996.

Whereas June 25, 2001, marks the fifth anniversary of the tragic terrorist 
        bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia;
Whereas this act of senseless violence took the lives of 19 brave United States 
        servicemen, and wounded 500 others;
Whereas these nineteen men killed while serving their country were Captain 
        Christopher Adams, Sergeant Daniel Cafourek, Sergeant Millard Campbell, 
        Sergeant Earl Cartrette, Jr., Sergeant Patrick Fennig, Captain Leland 
        Haun, Sergeant Michael Heiser, Sergeant Kevin Johnson, Sergeant Ronald 
        King, Sergeant Kendall Kitson, Jr., Airman First Class Christopher 
        Lester, Airman First Class Brent Marthaler, Airman First Class Brian 
        McVeigh, Airman First Class Peter Morgera, Sergeant Thanh Nguyen, Airman 
        First Class Joseph Rimkus, Senior Airman Jeremy Taylor, Airman First 
        Class Justin Wood, and Airman First Class Joshua Woody;
Whereas those guilty of this attack have yet to be brought to justice;
Whereas the families of these brave servicemen still mourn their loss and await 
        the day when those guilty of this act are brought to justice; and
Whereas terrorism remains a constant and ever-present threat around the world: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the Congress, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the 
terrorist bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, recognizes the 
sacrifice of the 19 servicemen who died in that attack, and calls upon 
every American to pause and pay tribute to these brave soldiers and to 
remain ever vigilant for signs which may warn of a terrorist attack.
