                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing no confidence in the performance of Attorney General Alberto 
     Gonzales, and urging the President to request his resignation.

Whereas at this critical time in the Nation's history when the American people 
        confront unprecedented challenges posed by global terrorism, when so 
        many critical issues remain to be addressed at home, and when it is 
        essential that the Nation has the service of an Attorney General who has 
        the full confidence of the American people to enforce the law, to defend 
        the United States from foreign and domestic threats, to prevent crime, 
        to seek punishment for those guilty of committing crimes, and to ensure 
        the fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans; and
Whereas Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has failed to adequately and properly 
        manage the Department of Justice and faithfully execute the duties of 
        his office, as reflected in his mismanagement of the dismissal of United 
        States attorneys, the conflicting and incomplete testimony before 
        Congress by the Attorney General and his top aides, and his inability to 
        assure the public that the laws of the Nation are being enforced in an 
        independent, nonpartisan, and judicious manner: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives and the American 
people have lost confidence in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and 
urge the President to request his resignation and to nominate a new 
candidate more capable of serving as the head of the Department of 
Justice.
