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 inves-
tigation pursuant to Congress’ oversight authority; 
Whereas the Washington Field Office of the Federal Bureau

sion, 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 of-
fices 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 citi-
zens 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 compa-
nies during elections to censor factual information harm-
ful 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 en-
forcement agency that employs 2.3 percent of the man-
power of the United States military to receive a head-
quarters larger than the Pentagon; 
Whereas building a new headquarters would condone, rein-
force, 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
