   Honoring Special Agent William G. Clark of the Bureau of Alcohol, 
     Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for his heroic actions while 
               protecting the life of a woman in danger.

Whereas Special Agent William G. Clark is a trained officer who was assigned to 
        the U.S. Virgin Islands to address rising gun crime in 2008;
Whereas Special Agent Clark responded to the plea of a female neighbor who was 
        being threatened by her partner, an intoxicated male with previous 
        history of domestic violence;
Whereas Special Agent Clark was in full compliance with the established policies 
        of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives;
Whereas Eduardo M. Halley, a member of the ATF Miami Field Office in charge of 
        investigating the incident in the U.S. Virgin Islands said that Special 
        Agent Clark ``acted with prudence and restraint, and that he resorted to 
        the use of deadly force only in response to an imminent and deadly 
        threat to his safety and the safety of others''; and
Whereas Special Agent Clark is a resident of Rochester, New York, and this 
        matter is of importance and concern to the Rochester Community: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives honors Special Agent 
William G. Clark of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and 
Explosives for his heroic actions, exemplary service, and selfless acts 
to protect the lives of others.
