 Honoring and memorializing the life and sacrifice of Officer Brian D. 
                               Sicknick.

Whereas, on January 6, 2021, thousands of insurrectionists carried out a violent 
        attack against the United States Capitol in a failed attempt to disrupt 
        and harm lawmakers certifying the outcome of the 2020 Presidential 
        election;
Whereas these individuals actively assaulted United States Capitol Police 
        officers and other uniformed law enforcement officers with metal pipes, 
        discharged chemical irritant, and took up other weapons against 
        officers;
Whereas rioters breached police perimeters, scaled the walls of the Capitol, and 
        broke through doors and windows to gain entry to the Capitol;
Whereas while these events were unfolding across the Capitol complex, United 
        States Capitol Police officers were simultaneously responding to 
        multiple reports of pipe bombs and suspicious vehicles in the immediate 
        area surrounding the United States Capitol;
Whereas Officer Brian D. Sicknick, a twelve-year veteran of the Capitol Police, 
        sustained multiple injuries as a result of violent encounters with 
        insurrectionists; and
Whereas Officer Brian D. Sicknick later succumbed to his injuries, dying in the 
        line of duty defending the United States Capitol complex and protecting 
        all who serve and work throughout: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That--
            (1) the United States holds sincere gratitude and a deep 
        respect for United States Capitol Police Officer Brian D. 
        Sicknick for his courage in the line of duty and for the 
        sacrifice he made to protect Members, staff, and employees 
        inside the United States Capitol;
            (2) the United States extends its condolences to Officer 
        Brian D. Sicknick's family and loved ones during this difficult 
        time;
            (3) no later than January 31, 2022, the Speaker of the 
        House of Representatives, the minority leader of the House of 
        Representatives, the majority leader of the Senate, and the 
        minority leader of the Senate shall select an appropriate 
        memorial that shall be located in the United States Capitol and 
        that shall honor the life and sacrifice of Officer Brian D. 
        Sicknick; and
            (4) the memorial shall state the purpose of the honor and 
        the name of the officer on whom the honor is bestowed.
