                               RESOLUTION


 
Honoring the seven Americans killed in Khost, Afghanistan, on December 
    30, 2009, for their service to the United States, and for other 
                               purposes.

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.
