                               RESOLUTION


 
      Honoring the members of the United States Armed Forces, the 
 intelligence community, and the Obama and Bush Administrations whose 
  dedicated service brought the murderous terrorist leader Osama bin 
                           Laden to justice.

Whereas, for over two decades, the murderer Osama bin Laden and his 
        transnational terrorist network al Qaeda have menaced people's lives, 
        liberty and property throughout the world;
Whereas Osama bin Laden and his murderous network perpetrated the September 11, 
        2001, attacks, which resulted in the deaths of 2,752 innocent people in 
        New York City, 184 people at the Pentagon, and 45 passengers and crew 
        members aboard United Airlines Flight 93 in Stony Creek Township, 
        Pennsylvania;
Whereas the heinous criminal history of Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda 
        terrorist network further involves hijackings, bombings, and murders of 
        American and allied civilians and military personnel, ranging from the 
        July 7, 2005, London bus bombings to the Madrid train bombings of March 
        11, 2004, to the bombings of the U.S.S. Cole and the United States 
        Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania;
Whereas, for his craven terrorist acts, Osama bin Laden was criminally charged 
        by the United States Department of Justice and indicted in United States 
        District Court for the Southern District of New York;
Whereas, after nearly a decade of courage, dedication, and perseverance by 
        members of the United States Armed Forces, the intelligence community, 
        and the Obama and Bush Administrations, a mission conducted in 
        Abbottabad, Pakistan, has brought Osama bin Laden to justice; and
Whereas the death of Osama bin Laden has not completed the eradication of his 
        murderous terrorist network and its cowardly cohorts: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates and salutes the members of the United 
        States Armed Forces, the intelligence community, and the Obama 
        and Bush Administrations for bringing Osama bin Laden to 
        justice;
            (2) remembers the fallen and comforts the families 
        grievously wounded by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 
        2001, and by all Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda's other crimes; 
        and
            (3) reaffirms the dedication of the United States to the 
        prompt and just eradication of al Qaeda and all terrorist 
        organizations and their cohorts, and to victory in the war for 
        freedom against terrorism.
