        within 180 days of enactment of the joint resolution of 
        approval, with the exception of troops who are protecting 
        American diplomatic facilities and American citizens (including

        apply:</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) The joint resolution of the House 
                shall not be referred to a committee.</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) With respect to a joint resolution of 
                approval of the Senate--</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (i) the procedure in the Senate 
                        shall be the same as if no joint resolution had 
                        been received from the House; but</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (ii) the vote on final passage 
                        shall be on the joint resolution of the 
                        House.</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (C) Upon disposition of the joint 
                resolution received from the House, it shall no longer

                originated in the Senate.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) Following senate passage.--If the Senate 
        receives from the House of Representatives a joint resolution 
        of approval after the Senate has disposed of a Senate 
        originated joint resolution, and the matter after the resolving 
        clauses of the 2 joint resolutions are identical, the action of 
        the Senate with regard to the disposition of the Senate 
        originated joint resolution shall be deemed to be the action of 
        the Senate with regard to the House originated joint 
        resolution.</DELETED>

        that they are inconsistent with such other rules; and</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) with the full recognition of the 
        constitutional right of either House to change the rules (so

      <DELETED>CHAPTER 3--GENERAL PROVISION, THIS TITLE</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 2301. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    Amounts in this title are designated as emergency 
requirements pursuant to section 402 of H. Con. Res. 95 (109th 
Congress), and pursuant to section 501 of H. Con. Res. 376 (109th 
Congress) as made applicable to the House of Representatives by section 
511(a)(4) of H. Res. 6 (110th Congress).</DELETED>
    Since under the Constitution, the President and Congress have 
shared responsibilities for decisions on the use of the Armed Forces of 
the United States, including their mission, and for supporting the 
Armed Forces, especially during wartime;
    Since when the Armed Forces are deployed in harm's way, the 
President, Congress, and the Nation should give them all the support 
they need in order to maintain their safety and accomplish their 
assigned or future missions, including the training, equipment, 
logistics, and funding necessary to ensure their safety and 
effectiveness, and such support is the responsibility of both the 
Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch of Government; and
    Since thousands of members of the Armed Forces who have fought 
bravely in Iraq and Afghanistan are not receiving the kind of medical 
care and other support this Nation owes them when they return home: 
Now, therefore, be it
    Determined by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
that it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the President and Congress should not take any action 
        that will endanger the Armed Forces of the United States, and 
        will provide necessary funds for training, equipment, and other 
        support for troops in the field, as such actions will ensure 
        their safety and effectiveness in preparing for and carrying 
        out their assigned missions;
            (2) the President, Congress, and the Nation have an 
        obligation to ensure that those who have bravely served this 
        country in time of war receive the medical care and other 
        support they deserve; and
            (3) the President and Congress should--
                    (A) continue to exercise their constitutional 
                responsibilities to ensure that the Armed Forces have 
                everything they need to perform their assigned or 
                future missions; and
                    (B) review, assess, and adjust United States policy 
                and funding as needed to ensure our troops have the 
                best chance for success in Iraq and elsewhere.

            Passed the House of Representatives May 10, 2007.

            Attest:

                                            LORRAINE C. MILLER,

            Passed the Senate May 17, 2007.

            Attest:

                                                NANCY ERICKSON,

                                                             Secretary.
