110TH CONGRESS 

1ST SESSION H. CON. RES. 208 

Expressing the sense of Congress regarding raising awareness of and 

opposition to global terrorism. 

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 

SEPTEMBER 10, 2007 

Mr. GALLEGLY (for himself and Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the 

Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 

Expressing the sense of Congress regarding raising 

awareness of and opposition to global terrorism. 

Whereas the terrorist attacks against the United States on 

September 11, 2001, marked the beginning of the war to 

end global terrorism; 

Whereas, historically, when the United States is forced into 

war, its Government and citizens stand united to successfully defeat the enemy, no matter how long and difficult 

the struggle; 

Whereas the American people are committed to individual 

freedom and confident that the United States and its allies will win the war on terrorism;

Whereas the American people will take the necessary steps to 

be ready and vigilant against terrorism and do all they 

can to protect their homeland, families, and freedoms; 

Whereas beyond all differences of race, creed, or political persuasion, Americans are one people facing national threats 

together, and while they now live with a heightened 

awareness of terrorism, they refuse to live their lives in 

fear; 

Whereas opposition by the American people and the Federal, 

State, and local governments will be directed against all 

individuals, groups, organizations, and countries that 

threaten, support, or commit acts of terrorism against 

the United States, its allies, and United States interests; 

Whereas the American people, through their readiness and 

vigilance, will assist authorities in whatever it takes to 

disrupt and defeat the global terrorism network; 

Whereas in support of Patriot Day on September 11th, September 12th would be an appropriate annual day to establish as a National Day of Readiness and Vigilance in 

memory of all victims of terrorist attacks, a tribute to 

those individuals who are actively combating global terrorism, and a rededication to year-round readiness and 

vigilance against terrorism by the American people and 

the Federal, State, and local governments; and 

Whereas the effort by individuals, businesses, organizations, 

and governing bodies to promote the observance of the 

National Day of Readiness and Vigilance on September 

12th of each year represents one of many examples of the 

ongoing commitment by people in the United States to 

raise awareness of and actively oppose global terrorism: 

Now, therefore, be it
