   Expressing concern regarding the suicide plane attack on Internal 
              Revenue Service employees in Austin, Texas.

Whereas all Federal employees, and those from the Internal Revenue Service in 
        particular, have experienced a terrible tragedy in the suicide plane 
        attack on February 18, 2010;
Whereas Vernon Hunter, who lost his life in the terror attack, had 48 years of 
        public service, including 20 years of serving in the United States Army 
        and 2 tours in Vietnam;
Whereas Federal, State, and local officials have cooperated to respond promptly 
        and professionally to the attack and provide assistance to Internal 
        Revenue Service victims and families affected by the crash; and
Whereas Federal employees, from the Armed Forces to the Internal Revenue 
        Service, serve their Nation with honor and commitment, and perform 
        public service that benefits the entire Nation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) strongly condemns the terror attack perpetrated 
        deliberately against Federal employees of the Internal Revenue 
        Service in Austin, Texas;
            (2) honors Vernon Hunter, a victim of the crash, Shane 
        Hill, who suffered severe injuries, and all those who were 
        injured for their service to our Nation;
            (3) commends Internal Revenue Service employees for their 
        dedication and public service;
            (4) recognizes the heroic actions of the first responders, 
        emergency services personnel, Internal Revenue Service 
        employees, and citizens on the ground in Austin such as Robin 
        De Haven whose actions minimized the loss of life; and
            (5) rejects any statement or act that deliberately fans the 
        flames of hatred or expresses sympathy for those who would 
        attack public servants serving our Nation.
