Whereas the innovations that are produced at the Nation’s 
Defense laboratories fuel economic growth by creating 
new industries, companies, and jobs; 
Whereas since the United States global leadership and na-

Whereas, on May 16, 2017, President Donald J. Trump 
hosted President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, a 
longstanding NATO ally, for an official meeting at the 
White House to discuss counterterrorism cooperation and 
bilateral issues; 
Whereas, on the evening of May 16, 2017, over two dozen 
protesters gathered outside of the Turkish Ambassador’s 
residence in Washington, DC, to demonstrate opposition 
to Turkish government policies; 
Whereas after hours of peaceful protest, violence erupted 
when pro-Erdogan supporters and individuals from the 
Turkish Embassy grounds pushed past District of Co-
lumbia police officers to brutally attack the demonstra-
tors; 
Whereas those Turkish officials blatantly suppressed the 
First Amendment rights of United States citizens, and 
multiple armed Turkish security officials beat, kicked, 
and choked unarmed demonstrators; 
Whereas multiple video recordings of the violence and reports 
by the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of 
Columbia and the Department of State confirm that the 
demonstrators did not instigate the violence;
•HRES 354 EH 
Whereas at least 11 individuals were seriously injured in the 
ensuing brawl, with 2 individuals requiring immediate 
hospitalization; 
Whereas separately, two armed Turkish security officers at-
tached to a security detail were detained for physically 
assaulting Federal agents; 
Whereas those two Turkish security officers were later re-
leased and subsequently allowed to leave the United 
States because they held Derived Head of State immu-
nity; 
Whereas the Department of State did not request that Tur-
key waive the immunity for these two security officers in 
order to fully investigate the assault prior to their being 
released from custody; 
Whereas a joint criminal investigation into the incident is on-
going with the combined efforts of the Washington Met-
ropolitan Police Department, the United States Secret 
Service, and the Department of State Diplomatic Secu-
rity Service; 
Whereas at no point was President Erdogan in danger; 
Whereas immunity for diplomatic personnel and certain other 
foreign officials is a core principle, as is the right to pro-
test peacefully and freely in the United States; 
Whereas this is the third instance of violence perpetrated by 
members of Turkish President Erdogan’s security detail 
in United States territory; 
Whereas in 2011, a brawl erupted in the halls of the United 
Nations General Assembly between members of Turkish 
President Erdogan’s security detail and United Nations 
security officers, resulting in one United Nations security 
officer being hospitalized due to serious injuries;

Whereas the American Red Cross advocates that improved 
education and access to automated external defibrillators 
(AEDs) could save 50,000 lives each year; 
Whereas the average response time to a 911 call is 8 to 12 
minutes; 
Whereas the likelihood of survival is reduced approximately 
10 percent for each minute defibrillation is delayed; and 
Whereas sudden cardiac arrest is most effectively treated by 
combining CPR and defibrillation: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
