                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that, as a matter of economic and 
  national security, the United States Government should protect and 
                    support United States currency.

Whereas the United States dollar, as the world's reserve currency, is one of our 
        country's greatest assets;
Whereas the strength and integrity of the United States dollar provides America 
        with economic stability and national security;
Whereas any threat or change to the status of the dollar as a world reserve 
        currency would be costly to the Treasury and could cause national 
        economic instability;
Whereas international counterfeiting of the dollar is on the rise and currency 
        counterfeiting has reportedly been used to finance rogue governments and 
        terrorism;
Whereas on January 26, 2006, President Bush made a strong commitment to protect 
        our nation's currency from counterfeiting by the North Korean regime or 
        any other adversarial regime or organization; and
Whereas every dollar issued by the United States Government is meant to be 
        representative of the strength and solidarity of this Great Nation: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that, as a matter of economic and 
national security, the United States Government should provide 
America's currency with the protection and support necessary to defend 
its integrity throughout the world, effectively deter counterfeiting, 
and preserve the status of the dollar as the world's reserve currency.
