SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Department of Homeland Security and the United 
        States Secret Service should be fully transparent with Congress 
        and the people of the United States about the failed 
        assassination attempt on Donald J. Trump on July 13, 2024, in 
        Butler, Pennsylvania;
            (2) the former President and presumptive Republican party 
        nominee was shot in the head;
            (3) Congress has historically conducted investigations into 
        presidential assassinations and assassination attempts;
            (4) Congress has a role in investigating this historic 
        security failure; and
            (5) investigation into the failure to protect Donald J. 
        Trump would benefit from declassifying all related information.
