H. Res. 990 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
July 18, 2018. 
Whereas the national security interests of the United States 
are dependent on the brave men and women who enforce 
our Nation’s immigration laws; 
Whereas abolishing United States Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement (ICE) would mean open borders because it 
would eliminate the main agency responsible for removing 
people who enter or remain in our country illegally; 
Whereas calls to abolish ICE are an insult to these heroic law 
enforcement officers who make sacrifices every day to se-
cure our borders, enforce our laws, and protect our safety 
and security; 
Whereas abolishing ICE would allow dangerous criminal 
aliens, including violent and ruthless members of the 
MS–13 gang, to remain in American communities; 
Whereas during fiscal year 2017, ICE Enforcement and Re-
moval Operations (ERO) arrested more than 127,000 
aliens with criminal convictions or charges; 
Whereas ICE ERO made 5,225 administrative arrests of sus-
pected gang members in fiscal year 2017; 
Whereas criminal aliens arrested by ICE ERO in fiscal year 
2017 were responsible for more than— 
(1) 76,000 dangerous drug offenses;
•HRES 990 EH 
Whereas abolishing ICE would mean eliminating the agency 
that deports aliens that pose a terrorist threat to the 
United States; 
Whereas ICE was created in 2003 to better protect national 
security and public safety after the 9/11 terrorists ex-
ploited immigration laws to gain entry into the United 
States; 
Whereas the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks 
found that many of the 9/11 hijackers committed visa 
violations; 
Whereas ICE identifies dangerous individuals before they 
enter our country and locates them as they violate our 
immigration laws; and 
Whereas abolishing ICE would enable the hundreds of thou-
sands of foreign nationals who illegally overstay their visa 
each year to remain in the United States indefinitely: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) expresses its continued support for all United 
States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of-
ficers and personnel who carry out the important mis-
sion of ICE; 
(2) denounces calls for the abolishment of ICE; and
•HRES 990 EH 
(3) supports the efforts of all Federal agencies, 
State law enforcement, and military personnel who bring 
law and order to our Nation’s borders.

Mr. BILIRAKIS submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the

RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for the designation of National Public 
Safety Aviation Day. 
Whereas, for over 65 years, airplanes and helicopters have 
been an important part of public safety efforts in commu-
nities throughout the United States; 
Whereas professional public safety aircrews and pilots have 
flown millions of hours protecting persons and property, 
often under hazardous and dangerous conditions; 
Whereas public safety agencies have long recognized the value 
of utilizing airborne assets; 
Whereas professional public safety aircrews recognize the im-
portance of aviation safety during their missions; and

H. Res. 995 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
July 17, 2018. 
Whereas the United States now faces a more complex set of 
threats than at any time since the end of World War II; 
Whereas the National Defense Strategy released on January 
19, 2018, highlights these threats and acknowledges a re-
turn to great power competition; 
Whereas countries like Russia and China are heavily invest-
ing in military modernization and developing capabilities 
that the United States may not be able to defend against 
while also expanding their influence across the globe; 
Whereas North Korea’s nuclear program continues to be a 
serious threat; 
Whereas the National Defense Strategy states that ‘‘Iran 
continues to sow violence and remains the most signifi-
cant challenge to Middle East stability’’; 
Whereas the National Defense Strategy states that ‘‘terrorist 
groups with long reach continue to murder the innocent 
and threaten peace more broadly’’; 
Whereas the United States continues to fight a war against 
terrorism and has troops deployed in hostile regions 
throughout the globe;
•HRES 995 EH 
Whereas, on January 19, 2018, Secretary of Defense James 
Mattis stated, ‘‘As hard as the last 16 years have been 
on our military, no enemy in the field has done more to 
harm the readiness of the U.S. military than the com-
bined impact of the Budget Control Act’s defense spend-
ing cuts, worsened by us operating, 9 of the last 10 
years, under continuing resolutions, wasting copious 
amounts of precious taxpayer dollars’’; 
Whereas fiscal year 2009 was the last fiscal year the Depart-
ment of Defense received on-time funding; 
Whereas the House of Representatives has passed an annual 
appropriation bill for the Department of Defense before 
the start of the next fiscal year in each of those fiscal 
years; 
Whereas article I, section 8 of the Constitution gives Con-
gress the responsibility to ‘‘provide for the common 
Defence and general Welfare of the United States’’ and 
calls on Congress to ‘‘raise and support Armies’’ and 
‘‘provide and maintain a Navy’’; and 
Whereas Secretaries of Defense appointed by Presidents of 
both parties have warned about the damage funding un-
certainty has on the readiness of our Armed Forces: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
atives that— 
(1) failing to provide our military with full, stable, 
and on-time funding allows our adversaries to close crit-
ical military capability gaps, putting our servicemembers 
at increased risk, and severely harms our military’s abil-
ity to prepare for, deter, and, if needed, defend against
•HRES 995 EH 
these capabilities, putting United States national secu-
rity at greater risk; 
(2) providing full, stable, and on-time funding for 
the Department of Defense is critically necessary to pre-
venting these increased risks; and 
(3) the House of Representatives is committed to 
ending the funding uncertainty for the Department of 
Defense and providing the resources United States 
servicemembers need to defend the Nation, and that the 
Senate should join the House of Representatives in these 
efforts.
