H. Res. 1009

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                      January 20, 2010.
Whereas the men and women of the Central Intelligence Agency are dedicated 
        professionals who work tirelessly to protect the United States;
Whereas many of the individuals serving the Central Intelligence Agency do so 
        under harsh conditions, far from home, and on the front lines of the 
        battle against terrorists;
Whereas these public servants face great risks in the line of duty on a daily 
        basis;
Whereas seven Americans in the service of the Central Intelligence Agency gave 
        their lives for their country in a bombing that took place in Khost, 
        Afghanistan, on December 30, 2009;
Whereas six additional Americans were wounded in the attack, some of them 
        suffering serious injuries;
Whereas the loss of these highly trained counterterrorism experts will be deeply 
        felt throughout the Intelligence Community; and
Whereas the entire Nation owes an enormous debt of gratitude to these proud 
        Americans, their families, and their loved ones for the quiet, 
        dedicated, and vital service they offered to the United States: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) honors the seven Americans who died in the bombing that took 
        place in Khost, Afghanistan, on December 30, 2009, and the families of 
        those patriots for their service and their sacrifice for the United 
        States;
            (2) expresses condolences to the families, friends, and loved ones 
        of those killed in the bombing;
            (3) offers support and hope for a full recovery for those who were 
        wounded in the bombing; and
            (4) shares in the pain and grief felt in the aftermath of such a 
        tragic event.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
