    SENATE RESOLUTION 564--EXPRESSING THE SENSE OF THE SENATE THAT 
   PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SHOULD HOLD THE GOVERNMENT OF THE RUSSIAN 
 FEDERATION ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS INTERFERENCE IN THE 2016 UNITED STATES 
   ELECTION AND ENSURE THAT THE UNITED STATES IS PREPARED TO COUNTER 
                FUTURE ATTEMPTS AT ELECTION INTERFERENCE

  Mr. GRAHAM (for himself and Mr. Coons) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:

                              S. Res. 564

       Whereas it is the unanimous opinion of the United States 
     intelligence community under both the Administration of 
     President Barack Obama and the Administration of President 
     Donald Trump that the Government of the Russian Federation 
     interfered in the 2016 United States election; and
       Whereas it is the unanimous opinion of the intelligence 
     community that the Government of the Russian Federation will 
     interfere in the 2018 United States election and in future 
     elections of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that President 
     Donald Trump--
       (1) should use every opportunity and every tool at his 
     disposal, including the upcoming summit with the President of 
     the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, to hold the Government 
     of the Russian Federation accountable for its attempts to 
     undermine democracy in the United States and abroad;
       (2) should ensure that the United States Government is 
     prepared to counter future attempts to interfere in United 
     States elections; and
       (3) must clarify to President Putin that if the Government 
     of the Russian Federation continues to interfere with 
     democracy in the United States, it does so at its own peril.
