                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the continued 
    deployment of United States military support personnel advising 
regional forces working toward the apprehension of Joseph Kony is both 
                       necessary and appropriate.

Whereas the Lord's Resistance Army, led by Joseph Kony, has kidnapped, 
        brutalized, tortured, raped, and murdered tens of thousands of civilians 
        in Central Africa for more than 25 years;
Whereas the United States has supported military efforts by local militaries to 
        topple the Lord's Resistance Army and capture Joseph Kony;
Whereas, on May 24, 2010, the President of the United States signed the Lord's 
        Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009;
Whereas, on October 12, 2011, the President of the United States deployed 
        military support personnel to Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African 
        Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo; and
Whereas recently there has been pressure placed on the President of the United 
        States to consider the withdrawal of deployed military support personnel 
        to Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic 
        Republic of the Congo: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the continued deployment of United States military support personnel 
advising regional forces working toward the apprehension of Joseph Kony 
is both necessary and appropriate.
