                  In the Senate of the United States,

                                                          May 17, 2007.
    Resolved, That the bill from the House of Representatives (H.R. 
2206) entitled ``An Act making emergency supplemental appropriations 
and additional supplemental appropriations for agricultural and other 
emergency assistance for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, and 
for other purposes.'', do pass with the following

                               AMENDMENT:

            Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

    Since under the Constitution, the President and Congress have 
shared responsibilities for decisions on the use of the Armed Forces of 
the United States, including their mission, and for supporting the 
Armed Forces, especially during wartime;
    Since when the Armed Forces are deployed in harm's way, the 
President, Congress, and the Nation should give them all the support 
they need in order to maintain their safety and accomplish their 
assigned or future missions, including the training, equipment, 
logistics, and funding necessary to ensure their safety and 
effectiveness, and such support is the responsibility of both the 
Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch of Government; and
    Since thousands of members of the Armed Forces who have fought 
bravely in Iraq and Afghanistan are not receiving the kind of medical 
care and other support this Nation owes them when they return home: 
Now, therefore, be it
    Determined by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
that it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the President and Congress should not take any action 
        that will endanger the Armed Forces of the United States, and 
        will provide necessary funds for training, equipment, and other 
        support for troops in the field, as such actions will ensure 
        their safety and effectiveness in preparing for and carrying 
        out their assigned missions;
            (2) the President, Congress, and the Nation have an 
        obligation to ensure that those who have bravely served this 
        country in time of war receive the medical care and other 
        support they deserve; and
            (3) the President and Congress should--
                    (A) continue to exercise their constitutional 
                responsibilities to ensure that the Armed Forces have 
                everything they need to perform their assigned or 
                future missions; and
                    (B) review, assess, and adjust United States policy 
                and funding as needed to ensure our troops have the 
                best chance for success in Iraq and elsewhere.

            Attest:

                                                             Secretary.
