118TH CONGRESS 
1ST SESSION 
H. RES. 488 
Calling on the Biden administration to immediately provide Army Tactical 
Missile Systems to Ukraine. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 9, 2023 
Mr. KEAN of New Jersey (for himself, Mr. KEATING, Mr. MCCAUL, Mr. LIEU, 
Mr. GOLDEN of Maine, and Mr. WILSON of South Carolina) submitted 
the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Calling on the Biden administration to immediately provide 
Army Tactical Missile Systems to Ukraine. 
Whereas the Russian Federation’s brutal and unprovoked 
war of aggression continues to cause death and destruc-
tion across Ukraine, wreaking a massive human and eco-
nomic cost on Ukraine; 
Whereas, following the full-scale invasion on February 24, 
2022, the Government of Ukraine has been requesting 
long-range missiles, including the nearly 200-mile-range 
Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), from its part-
ners to be able to strike key Russian logistics nodes, com-
mand and control posts, and other high-value military 
targets deeper into occupied territory that are currently 
out of reach;

•HRES 488 IH 
Whereas the United States has yet to fulfill this request from 
the Government of Ukraine out of stated concerns about 
escalating the conflict and cutting too deeply into United 
States stockpiles; 
Whereas the United Kingdom’s provision to the Government 
of Ukraine of ‘‘Storm Shadow’’ cruise missiles, with a 
similar range of over 155 miles, was met with no signifi-
cant response from the Russian Federation, and provided 
the Ukrainian military with a vital long-range strike ca-
pability; 
Whereas the Government of France announced it will provide 
long-range missiles, reportedly the 155-mile range 
SCALP–EG cruise missile, the French variant of the 
Storm Shadow, to the Government of Ukraine; 
Whereas the United States and allied countries collectively 
possess thousands of ATACMS that could be transferred 
to Ukraine and fired from the High Mobility Artillery 
Rocket Systems and Multiple Launch Rocket Systems 
that the Government of Ukraine already operates; 
Whereas the Russian Federation’s arsenal of long-range mis-
siles largely outranges and outnumbers the weapons sys-
tems that the Government of Ukraine possesses, forcing 
Ukrainian forces to fight at a significant disadvantage; 
and 
Whereas, reportedly many of the Iranian-made drones that 
devastated Ukrainian civilian infrastructure over the win-
ter of 2022–2023 were based in the illegally occupied 
Crimean Peninsula, which would be in range of 
ATACMS: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

•HRES 488 IH 
(1) calls on the United States to immediately 
provide Army Tactical Missile Systems to Ukraine in 
sufficient quantity to hasten Ukraine’s victory 
against Russia’s unprovoked war of aggression while 
still maintaining United States military readiness; 
(2) calls on United States allies and partners to 
transfer similar systems to Ukraine; 
(3) expresses concern that the delay in the pro-
vision of this critical weapon system could prolong 
the war; and 
(4) expresses belief that the expeditious provi-
sion of this critical weapon system will provide the 
Ukrainian military with a critical deep-strike capa-
bility 
they 
currently 
lack, 
disrupt 
Russia’s 
warfighting ability, and could hasten Ukraine’s vic-
tory.
