of all Nations to speak out against the manifestations 

of anti-Semitism, bigotry, and hatred. 

Whereas the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum was 

established as a ‘‘living memorial that stimulates leaders 

and citizens to confront hatred, prevent genocide, promote human dignity, and strengthen democracy’’; 

Whereas, since the dedication of the United States Holocaust 

Memorial Museum in 1993, the United States Holocaust 

Memorial Museum has welcomed nearly 30,000,000 visitors, including more than 8,000,000 school children and 

85 heads of state; 

Whereas, on June 10, 2009, in an assault at the entrance of 

the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Officer 

Stephen T. Johns of Temple Hills, Maryland, was fatally 

wounded and died heroically in the line of duty; 

Whereas, in the wake of this heinous act of violence, the people of the United States should renew the commitment to 

end bigotry, intolerance, and hatred; and 

Whereas there is no place in the society of the United States 

for individuals who seek to harm or deny rights to others, 

especially based on religion, race, or ethnic identity: Now, 

therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That the Senate—
