IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. TURNER of New York submitted the following resolution; which was 
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
RESOLUTION 
Recognizing and commemorating the importance of Federal 
law enforcement officers to United States national secu-
rity and counter-terrorism efforts. 
Whereas the well-being of all citizens of the United States is 
preserved and enhanced as a direct result of the vigilance 
and dedication of Federal law enforcement officers; 
Whereas Federal law enforcement officers are highly trained 
and dedicated men and women, committed to protecting 
liberty, public safety, and the security of the United 
States from both foreign and domestic threats; 
Whereas Federal law enforcement officers, such as FBI Spe-
cial Agents, serve their country both domestically and 
overseas in the effort to identify and thwart criminals 
and terrorists plotting to harm the United States and the

American people, in much the same manner as the 
United States Armed Forces; 
Whereas Federal law enforcement officers are engaged in ac-
tivities that include dignitary protection, criminal inves-
tigation, homeland security, border security, intelligence 
gathering, and fighting waste, fraud, and abuse; 
Whereas counter-intelligence and counter-terrorism are a cen-
tral part of the missions of Federal law enforcement 
agencies since the deplorable terrorist attacks on Sep-
tember 11, 2001; and 
Whereas on the solemn anniversary of the September 11th 
attacks, it is important to recognize the unique skills of, 
and the importance of the work done by, Federal law en-
forcement officers: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes and acknowledges the dedication 
and sacrifices made by Federal law enforcement offi-
cers who are an essential part of enhancing the secu-
rity of the United States; 
(2) recognizes that Federal law enforcement of-
ficers, like the United States Armed Forces, are an 
essential part of protecting the United States from 
terrorist and criminal threats; and 
(3) calls on the people of the United States to 
recognize both the importance of Federal law en-
forcement officers and the sacrifices that these offi-

Whereas the conducting of medium bomber operations from 
a Navy aircraft carrier under combat conditions had 
never before been attempted; 
Whereas after the discovery of the USS Hornet by Japanese 
picket ships 170 miles further away from the pre-
arranged launch point, the Raiders proceeded to take off 
670 miles from the coast of Japan; 
Whereas by launching more than 100 miles beyond the dis-
tance considered to be minimally safe for the mission, the 
Raiders deliberately accepted the risk that the B–25s 
might not have enough fuel to reach the designated air- 
fields in China; 
Whereas the additional launch distance greatly increased the 
risk of crash landing in Japanese occupied China, expos-
ing the crews to higher probability of death, injury, or 
capture; 
Whereas because of that deliberate choice, after bombing 
their targets in Japan, low on fuel and in setting night 
and deteriorating weather, none of the 16 airplanes 
reached the prearranged Chinese airfields; 
Whereas of the 80 Raiders who launched on the raid, 8 were 
captured, 2 died in the crash, and 70 returned to the 
United States; and 
Whereas of the 8 captured, 3 were executed and 1 died of 
disease: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the valor, skill, and courage of 
the Raiders that proved invaluable to the eventual 
defeat of Japan during the Second World War;

original members of the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders for 
their participation in the Tokyo bombing raid of 
April 18, 1942.

Supporting the goals and ideals of the Olympic movement. 
Whereas for over 100 years, the Olympic movement has

gether athletes from many countries in friendly competi-
tion, and by forging new relationships bound by friend-
ship, solidarity, sportsmanship, and fair play; 
Whereas the 2012 Olympic Games were held in London, Eng-
land, from July 27, 2012, to August 12, 2012, and the 
2012 Paralympic Games from August 29, 2012, to Sep-

Whereas athletes representing the United States at the Olym-

Whereas a spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt 
responded to the attacks on the United States embassy 
in Cairo, Egypt, by saying that the United States should 
do a better job of protecting Islam; 
Whereas it is inexcusable that the Governments of Libya and

Whereas the attacks on the United States embassy in Cairo,

Egypt formally apologize to the United States and con-
demn in the strongest possible terms the savage attacks

Egypt, and assure the safety of United States diplomats 
in Libya and Egypt, consistent with the 1961 Vienna Con-

Convention on Consular Relations, the President should 
immediately suspend all United States foreign assistance
