An Act

the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds the following: 
(1) Every day, the United States Capitol Police (‘‘Capitol 
Police’’) protects the U.S. Capitol, Members of Congress, 
congressional staff and institutional staff, journalists, and the 
visiting public. 
(2) On January 6, 2021, a mob of insurrectionists forced 
its way into the U.S. Capitol building and congressional office 
buildings and engaged in acts of vandalism, looting, and vio-
lently attacked Capitol Police officers. 
(3) The sacrifice of heroes including Capitol Police Officers 
Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood, Metropolitan Police 
Department Officer Jeffrey Smith, and those who sustained 
injuries, and the courage of Capitol Police Officer Eugene Good-
man, exemplify the patriotism and the commitment of Capitol 
Police officers, and those of other law enforcement agencies, 
to risk their lives in service of our country. 
(4) Up to seven Americans died following this violent 
attack, and more than 140 law enforcement officers suffered 
physical injuries, including 15 officers who were hospitalized. 
(5) The desecration of the U.S. Capitol, which is the temple 
of our American Democracy, and the violence targeting Con-
gress are horrors that will forever stain our Nation’s history. 
(6) On April 2, 2021 Officer William ‘‘Billy’’ Evans was 
killed while protecting the North Barricade of the Capitol. 
Officer Evans was a distinguished member of the First 
Responders Unit and an eighteen-year veteran of the United 
States Capitol Police. Also injured in that assault was Officer 
Kenneth Shaver. Officer Shaver is a fifteen-year veteran of 
the United States Capitol Police.
