Expressing appreciation for the State of Qatar's efforts to assist the 
             United States during Operation Allies Refuge.

Whereas thousands of United States citizens, lawful permanent residents, 
        vulnerable Afghans, and their families sought refuge following the 
        Afghan Taliban's takeover of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan;
Whereas the State of Qatar played a critical role in assisting the United States 
        in evacuating thousands of people from the rule of the Afghan Taliban 
        regime;
Whereas Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar served as a central transportation hub for 
        many evacuees desperately seeking to exit Afghanistan; and
Whereas Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin stated, ``Qatar's support for 
        Operation Allies Refuge was indispensable to the safe transit of 
        Americans and U.S. personnel, allies, partners and Afghans at special 
        risk.'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) thanks the State of Qatar for their pivotal role and 
        support of Operation Allies Refuge; and
            (2) appreciates the State of Qatar's support to temporarily 
        house thousands of evacuees until they are cleared for follow-
        on movement.
