RESOLUTION 
Recognizing August 7, National Night Out, the national com-
ing together of Americans all over the Nation to unite 
and promote public safety. 
Whereas on the first Tuesday of August, our Nation will ob-
serve National Night Out, a day to cultivate a better re-
lationship between residents of a community and their

Whereas the participation in National Night Out by over 
38,000,000 neighbors in over 16,000 communities across 
the United States for over 35 years is unparalleled; 
Whereas the relationship between local law enforcement and 
the residents which they are sworn to protect and serve

•HRES 1040 IH 
Whereas general awareness of public safety has improved, be-
cause of the continued efforts of communities to meet 
their law enforcement officers and participate in National 
Night Out activities; 
Whereas prominent figures, such as former Senator Kay Bai-
ley Hutchinson and former Vice President Joe Biden, 
have recognized the impact that National Night Out has 
made across the Nation, bringing all Americans closer to-
gether to achieve a common goal of community cohesive-
ness and public safety; and 
Whereas National Night Out not only includes Americans on 
the mainland, but includes those in United States terri-
tories and military bases to ensure all are included in the 
effort of community building and public safety awareness: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) encourages law enforcement departments to 
use National Night Out to improve relationships 
with the communities they serve; 
(2) encourages public safety departments to in-
form communities— 
(A) how to most effectively contact their 
911 responders and emergency service pro-
viders; and 
(B) how they carry out their duties; and 
(3) recognizes the impact that has been made 
for the past 35 years in communities all over the 
United States of America by National Night Out in
