Honoring the members of the United States Air Force who were killed in 
the June 25, 1996, terrorist bombing of the Khobar Towers United States 
         military housing compound near Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

Whereas June 25, 2008, marks the 12th anniversary of the terrorist bombing of 
        the Khobar Towers United States military housing compound in Dhahran, 
        Saudi Arabia, on June 25, 1996;
Whereas 19 members of the United States Air Force were killed, more than 500 
        other Americans were injured,

              

 and 297 innocent Saudi or Bangladeshi citizens were killed or injured in 
the terrorist attack;

Whereas the 19 airmen killed while serving their country were Captain 
        Christopher J. Adams, Staff Sergeant Daniel B. Cafourek, Sergeant 
        Millard D. Campbell, Senior Airman Earl F. Cartrette, Jr., Technical 
        Sergeant Patrick P. Fennig, Captain Leland T. Haun, Master Sergeant 
        Michael G. Heiser, Staff Sergeant Kevin J. Johnson, Staff Sergeant 
        Ronald L. King, Master Sergeant Kendall K. Kitson, Jr., Airman First 
        Class Christopher B. Lester, Airman First Class Brent E. Marthaler, 
        Airman First Class Brian W. McVeigh, Airman First Class Peter J. 
        Morgera, Technical Sergeant Thanh V. Nguyen, Airman First Class Joseph 
        E. Rimkus, Senior Airman Jeremy A. Taylor, Airman First Class Justin R. 
        Wood, and Airman First Class Joshua E. Woody;
Whereas the families of these brave airmen still mourn their loss;
Whereas three months after that terrorist bombing, on September 24, 1996, the 
        House of Representatives agreed to House Concurrent Resolution 200 of 
        the 104th Congress, honoring the victims of that terrorist bombing;
Whereas on the fifth anniversary of that terrorist bombing, on June 25, 2001, 
        the House of Representatives agreed to House Concurrent Resolution 161

        2002, further honoring the victims of that bombing;

        Concurrent Resolution 188 of the 109th Congress, further honoring the

Whereas those guilty of carrying out the attack have yet to be brought to 
        justice; and
Whereas terrorism remains a constant and ever-present threat around the world: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That, on the occasion of the 12th anniversary of the terrorist bombing 
of the Khobar Towers United States military housing compound in

            (1) recognizes the service and sacrifice of the 19 members 
        of the United States Air Force who died in that attack;
            (2) calls upon every American to pause and pay tribute to 
        those brave airmen;
            (3) extends its continued sympathies to the families of 
        those who died; and
            (4) assures the members of the Armed Forces serving 
        anywhere in the world that their well-being and interests will 
        at all times be given the highest priority.

            Passed the House of Representatives May 20, 2008.

            Attest:
