                               RESOLUTION


 
    Urging the Secretary of Defense to immediately institute a zero-
  tolerance policy with regard to racial and ethnic extremism in the 
                               military.

Whereas the United States has the best trained, best equipped fighting force in 
        the world;
Whereas those Armed Forces are a reflection of the rich and diverse makeup of 
        the Nation;
Whereas racial animus and ethnic hatred are contrary to the spirit of the United 
        States military;
Whereas military investigators report that the number of individuals joining the 
        Armed Forces who are connected with organizations that espouse racial or 
        ethnic extremism is increasing; and
Whereas such individuals pose a major domestic security threat to the Nation and 
        undermine the cohesiveness of its fighting force: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives urges the Secretary of 
Defense to immediately institute a zero-tolerance policy with regard to 
individuals who are members of, participate in the activities of, or 
further the objectives of organizations that espouse racial or ethnic 
extremism.
