Recognizing the November 5, 2009, attack on Fort Hood, Texas, as an act 
                of radical Islamic terrorism and Jihad.

Whereas United States Army Major Nidal Hasan is reported to have communicated on 
        multiple occasions with radical Islamic terrorist Anwar Al-Awlaki on the 
        topic of justifying Jihad on the United States and its Armed Forces;
Whereas Major Hasan delivered addresses to Department of Defense personnel 
        concerning the justification of Jihad against the United States Armed 
        Forces;
Whereas Major Hasan is reported to have planned and trained for an attack on 
        unarmed members of the United States Armed Forces at Fort Hood, Texas, 
        with the specific intent to kill and injure those troops before their 
        deployment to overseas theaters of war;
Whereas Major Hasan is reported to have declared his attack to be an act of 
        Jihad in defense of Islam, shouting ``God is Great'' in Arabic while 
        gunning down unarmed military personnel and civilians;
Whereas Major Hasan is currently charged with the murder of 13 and the attempted 
        muder of 32 United States citizens during that attack; and
Whereas the Department of Defense submitted correspondence to the United States 
        Senate Committee on Homeland Security which referred to the violent 
        Islamist extremist attack on Fort Hood, Texas, ``in the context of a 
        broader threat of workplace violence'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes the attack 
on Fort Hood, Texas, as an act of radical Islamic terrorism and Jihad 
against the United States Armed Forces.
