                               RESOLUTION


 
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Federal 
    Protective Service, and recognizing their service to our Nation.

Whereas the General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator established the 
        Federal Protective Service in January 1971 through GSA Administrative 
        Order 5440.46;
Whereas the Federal Protective Service safeguards over 9,000 facilities and more 
        than 1,400,000 people;
Whereas the recent breach of United States Capitol security on January 6, 2021, 
        has renewed the need for threat detection and prevention;
Whereas the terror attack on the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 
        1995, and the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, have shaped the 
        Federal Protective Service and its practices to further identify and 
        mitigate vulnerabilities through risk assessment, intelligence analysis, 
        and security countermeasures; and
Whereas the Federal Protective Service provides the Department of Homeland 
        Security (DHS) Secretary with a highly trained, nationwide force that 
        supports the Department's mission in countering emerging and existing 
        threats, within the boundaries of our Nation and territories: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

            (4) applauds the modernized, whole-of-government approach 
        to the protection of Federal infrastructure through facility 
        management to threat detection, law enforcement, and technology

            (5) commends the commitment of the Federal Protective
