_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION

 
 Expressing the sense of Congress that the proposed purchase of a new, 
 suburban headquarters for the Federal Bureau of Investigation outside 
            of the District of Columbia, should be quashed.

Whereas the Federal Bureau of Investigation is under investigation pursuant to 
        Congress' oversight authority;
Whereas the Washington Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has 
        been weaponized against the American people, deviating from its core law 
        enforcement mission, and has begun targeting Americans in a politicized 
        manner;
Whereas the Washington Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has 
        attempted to pressure other field offices for no good law enforcement 
        reason, but to advance a political agenda;
Whereas the Washington Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has 
        suppressed credible investigative leads into criminal conduct and, over 
        objection of Bureau field offices, initiated investigations into 
        American citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights;
Whereas the Washington Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has 
        attempted to entrap Members of the Senate by holding false classified 
        briefings;
Whereas the Washington Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has 
        colluded with private sector companies during elections to censor 
        factual information harmful to preferred political candidates;
Whereas the Washington Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has 
        targeted parents critical of school board decisions;
Whereas constructing a new headquarters for the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
        at this time would distract from critical oversight of this dangerous 
        politicization;
Whereas it is entirely inappropriate for a domestic law enforcement agency that 
        employs 2.3 percent of the manpower of the United States military to 
        receive a headquarters larger than the Pentagon;
Whereas building a new headquarters would condone, reinforce, and enable the 
        Washington Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's 
        nefarious behavior; and
Whereas there is credible evidence before Congress to support all of the 
        foregoing: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This resolution may be cited as the ``FBI Washington Field Office 
House Arrest Act''.

SEC. 2. SENSE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

    No money should be appropriated for the General Services 
Administration or the Federal Bureau of Investigation to either plan 
to, or acquire property for, a new, consolidated headquarters outside 
the District of Columbia.
                                 <all>
