  To pledge the faithful support of Congress to members of the United 
               States Armed Forces serving in harm's way.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. CONGRESSIONAL PLEDGE NOT TO CUT OFF OR RESTRICT FUNDING FOR 
              UNITS AND MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES IN HARM'S WAY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On September 14, 2001, both the Senate and the House of 
        Representatives passed S. J. Res. 23 of the 107th Congress, 
        which became Public Law 107-40 and authorized the use of 
        military force in Afghanistan.
            (2) On October 10, 2002, the House of Representatives 
        passed H. J. Res. 114 of the 107th Congress, which authorized 
        the use of military force in Iraq.
            (3) After passage by the Senate, H. J. Res. 114 became 
        Public Law 107-243, the Authorization for Use of Military Force 
        Against Iraq Resolution of 2002.
            (4) Members of the United States Armed Forces have served 
        honorably in their mission to fight terrorism and protect the 
        greater security of the United States.
            (5) These members of the Armed Forces and their families 
        have made many sacrifices, in many cases the ultimate 
        sacrifice, to protect the security of the United States and the 
        freedom Americans hold dear.
            (6) Congress and the American people are forever grateful 
        to the members of the Armed Forces for the service they have 
        provided to the United States.
    (b) Faithful Support of Congress.--Congress will not cut off or 
restrict funding for units and members of the Armed Forces that the 
Commander in Chief has deployed in harm's way in support of Operation 
Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
