Expressing the sense of the Congress that safe and effective radioprotectant 
drugs should be procured and stockpiled by the Federal Government 
as soon as possible. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MARCH 15, 2005
Mrs. DAVIS of California (for herself, Mr. ISSA, and Mr. SESSIONS) submitted 
the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee 
on Energy and Commerce 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that safe and effective 
radioprotectant drugs should be procured and stockpiled 
by the Federal Government as soon as possible.
Whereas the threat of a radiological or nuclear attack on the 
United States is one of the greatest threats now faced by 
the United States; 
Whereas there is mounting evidence that al Qaeda and other 
international terrorist groups have pursued and continue 
to pursue the means to develop and deploy a radiological 
or nuclear weapon against the American people; 
Whereas there are currently in development drug compounds 
that hold the potential to prevent or mitigate both the 
short-term and long-term effects of acute radiation expo-
•HRES 119 EH 
Whereas the theme of the 2007 National Crime Victims’ 
Rights Week, called ‘‘Victims’ Rights: Every Victim, 
Every Time’’, recognizes that all victims and survivors of 
crimes deserve to have victims’ rights and access to vic-
tims’ services, and recognizes the ongoing efforts of 
countless victim service providers, justice professionals, 
and allied professionals and volunteers who selflessly 
dedicate their lives to helping victims and survivors of 
crimes to exercise their victims rights and access impor-
tant victim services; 
Whereas, in 2007, the week of April 22 through April 28, is 
dedicated as the national observance during which crime 
victims’ and survivors’ rights, needs, and services will be 
recognized; and 
Whereas during the 2007 National Crime Victims’ Rights 
Week, the Congressional Victim’s Rights Caucus will 
honor a victim or survivor of crime, a victim service pro-
vider, and an allied professional and innovators in public 
policy development whose efforts on behalf of crime vic-
tims and survivors are visionary and exemplary: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports the mission and goals of the 2007 Na-
tional Crime Victims’ Rights Week in order to increase 
public awareness of the impact of crime on victims and 
survivors of crime, and of the rights and needs of such 
victims and survivors; and 
(2) directs the Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives to transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to
516 
tive military, naval, or air service. Such assistance shall 
be provided to the same extent as assistance is provided 
under this chapter to veterans eligible for assistance under 
this chapter and subject to the same requirements as vet-
erans under this chapter. 
‘‘(2) For purposes of this chapter, any reference to a 
veteran or eligible individual shall be treated as a reference 
to a member of the Armed Forces described in subsection 
(a) who is similarly situated to the veteran or other eligible 
individual so referred to. 
‘‘(b) BENEFITS AND ASSISTANCE FOR INDIVIDUALS 
RESIDING OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.—(1) Subject to 
paragraph (2), the Secretary may, at the Secretary’s discre-
tion, provide benefits and assistance under this chapter 
(other than benefits under section 2106 of this title) to any 
individual otherwise eligible for such benefits and assistance 
who resides outside the United States.
