                               RESOLUTION


 
   Recognizing Tim Nelson and Hugh Sims for their bravery and their 
  contributions in helping the Federal Bureau of Investigation detain 
                          Zacarias Moussaoui.

Whereas Tim Nelson called the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) 
        Minneapolis Office at 8:30 am on Wednesday, August 15, 2001;
Whereas Hugh Sims called the FBI's Minneapolis Office at 9:30 am on Wednesday, 
        August 15, 2001;
Whereas their calls set into motion the only United States criminal prosecution, 
        so far, stemming from the attacks on our Nation on September 11, 2001;
Whereas on April 22, 2005, Zacarias Moussaoui pled guilty to 6 counts of 
        conspiracy to commit terrorism on September 11, 2001; and
Whereas according to FBI officials, the actions of these 2 courageous and 
        greathearted men may have saved thousands of lives and preempted a 
        possible attack on the White House: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) Tim Nelson and Hugh Sims should be recognized for their 
        bravery and their contributions in helping the Federal Bureau 
        of Investigation detain Zacarias Moussaoui;
            (2) the United States is grateful to Tim Nelson and Hugh 
        Sims for their heroism; and
            (3) we, as a nation, should continue to follow their 
        example as we fight the war on terror.
                                 <all>
