                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION

 
 Expressing the sense of the Senate that no action should be taken to 
undermine the safety of the Armed Forces of the United States or impact 
      their ability to complete their assigned or future missions.

Whereas 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;
Whereas 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
Whereas 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
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate 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.
                                 <all>
