                               RESOLUTION


 
Recognizing and commemorating the importance of Federal law enforcement 
   officers to United States national security and counter-terrorism 
                                efforts.

Whereas the well-being of all citizens of the United States is preserved and 
        enhanced as a direct result of the vigilance and dedication of Federal 
        law enforcement officers;
Whereas Federal law enforcement officers are highly trained and dedicated men 
        and women, committed to protecting liberty, public safety, and the 
        security of the United States from both foreign and domestic threats;
Whereas Federal law enforcement officers, such as FBI Special Agents, serve 
        their country both domestically and overseas in the effort to identify 
        and thwart criminals and terrorists plotting to harm the United States 
        and the American people, in much the same manner as the United States 
        Armed Forces;
Whereas Federal law enforcement officers are engaged in activities that include 
        dignitary protection, criminal investigation, homeland security, border 
        security, intelligence gathering, and fighting waste, fraud, and abuse;
Whereas counter-intelligence and counter-terrorism are a central part of the 
        missions of Federal law enforcement agencies since the deplorable 
        terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001; and
Whereas on the solemn anniversary of the September 11th attacks, it is important 
        to recognize the unique skills of, and the importance of the work done 
        by, Federal law enforcement officers: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes and acknowledges the dedication and 
        sacrifices made by Federal law enforcement officers who are an 
        essential part of enhancing the security of the United States;
            (2) recognizes that Federal law enforcement officers, like 
        the United States Armed Forces, are an essential part of 
        protecting the United States from terrorist and criminal 
        threats; and
            (3) calls on the people of the United States to recognize 
        both the importance of Federal law enforcement officers and the 
        sacrifices that these officers and their families make to help 
        protect and defend the United States.
