    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) expresses its deep gratitude to United States Capitol Police 
        Special Agents Griner, Bailey, and Cabrera who bravely placed themselves 
        in harm's way to protect and save the lives of scores of individuals;
            (2) expresses its appreciation for the daily courage and dedication 
        of the United States Capitol Police who protect the Capitol grounds, 
        Members of Congress, and the public, to whom the Capitol belongs;
            (3) expresses its thanks to the Alexandria Police Department,

            (6) reaffirms that an attack on any Member of Congress is an attack

        representative democracy; and
            (7) stands firm in its belief that violence has no place in a 
        pluralistic society where differences are settled through debate, 
        ballots, and a legislative process, which rests at the bedrock of our 
        representative democracy.
