H. Res. 116

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                          May 15, 2001.
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 law 
        enforcement personnel;
Whereas more than 700,000 law enforcement officers, both men and women, at great 
        risk to their personal safety, serve their fellow citizens as guardians 
        of peace;
Whereas these peace officers are on the front line in preserving the right of 
        the children of the United States to receive an education in a crime-
        free environment, a right that is all too often threatened by the 
        insidious fear caused by violence in schools;
Whereas 151 peace officers lost their lives in the line of duty in 2000, and a 
        total of nearly 15,000 men and women serving as peace officers have made 
        that supreme sacrifice;
Whereas every year, 1 in 9 peace officers is assaulted, 1 in 25 is injured, and 
        1 in 4,400 is killed in the line of duty; and
Whereas on May 15, 2001, more than 15,000 peace officers are expected to gather 
        in the Nation's Capital to join with the families of their recently 
        fallen comrades to honor those comrades and all others who went before 
        them: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that--
            (1) all peace officers slain in the line of duty should be honored 
        and recognized; and
            (2) the President should issue a proclamation calling upon the 
        people of the United States to honor and recognize such officers with 
        appropriate ceremonies and respect.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
