                               RESOLUTION


 
Encouraging creditors to safeguard the credit scores of members of the 
 Armed Forces and their immediate family in the event of a Government 
                               shutdown.

Whereas members of the Armed Forces and their families are the backbone of the 
        Nation;
Whereas men and women in uniform are putting their lives on the line and 
        fighting for freedom around the world;
Whereas without the sacrifices of members of the Armed Forces, the people of the 
        United States would not enjoy the freedoms they have today;
Whereas the failure to enact an appropriations bill for the Department of 
        Defense for fiscal year 2011 has had a profound effect on military 
        families and their budgets;
Whereas a Government shutdown would delay military pay for members of the Armed 
        Forces and their families, causing them severe distress; and
Whereas the inability of members of the Armed Forces to meet monthly financial 
        obligations may have a profound impact on their credit scores due to no 
        fault of their own: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives encourages creditors to 
safeguard the credit scores of members of the Armed Forces and their 
immediate family in the event of a lapse in appropriations for the 
Department of Defense as a result of a failure to enact a regular 
appropriations bill or continuing resolution.
