IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
SEPTEMBER 10, 2007 
Mr. GALLEGLY (for himself and Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California) sub-
mitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress regarding raising 
awareness of and opposition to global terrorism. 
Whereas the terrorist attacks against the United States on 
September 11, 2001, marked the beginning of the war to 
end global terrorism; 
Whereas, historically, when the United States is forced into 
war, its Government and citizens stand united to success-
fully defeat the enemy, no matter how long and difficult 
the struggle; 
Whereas the American people are committed to individual 
freedom and confident that the United States and its al-
lies will win the war on terrorism;

Whereas the American people will take the necessary steps to 
be ready and vigilant against terrorism and do all they 
can to protect their homeland, families, and freedoms; 
Whereas beyond all differences of race, creed, or political per-
suasion, Americans are one people facing national threats 
together, and while they now live with a heightened 
awareness of terrorism, they refuse to live their lives in 
fear; 
Whereas opposition by the American people and the Federal, 
State, and local governments will be directed against all 
individuals, groups, organizations, and countries that 
threaten, support, or commit acts of terrorism against 
the United States, its allies, and United States interests; 
Whereas the American people, through their readiness and 
vigilance, will assist authorities in whatever it takes to 
disrupt and defeat the global terrorism network; 
Whereas in support of Patriot Day on September 11th, Sep-
tember 12th would be an appropriate annual day to es-
tablish as a National Day of Readiness and Vigilance in 
memory of all victims of terrorist attacks, a tribute to 
those individuals who are actively combating global ter-
rorism, and a rededication to year-round readiness and 
vigilance against terrorism by the American people and 
the Federal, State, and local governments; and 
Whereas the effort by individuals, businesses, organizations, 
and governing bodies to promote the observance of the 
National Day of Readiness and Vigilance on September 
12th of each year represents one of many examples of the 
ongoing commitment by people in the United States to 
raise awareness of and actively oppose global terrorism: 
Now, therefore, be it
