                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Whereas June 25, 2001, marks the fifth anniversary of the tragic terrorist 
        bombing of the Khobar Towers military housing compound in Dhahran, Saudi 
        Arabia;
Whereas 19 members of the United States Air Force were killed in the bombing and 
        250 other United States military personnel were wounded;
Whereas the 19 airmen killed while serving their country were Captain 
        Christopher Adams, Sergeant Daniel Cafourek, Sergeant Millard Campbell, 
        Senior Airman Earl Cartrette, Jr., Sergeant Patrick Fennig, Captain 
        Leland Haun, Sergeant Michael Heiser, Sergeant Kevin Johnson, Sergeant 
        Ronald King, Sergeant Kendall Kitson, Jr., Airman First Class 
        Christopher Lester, Airman First Class Brent Marthaler, Airman First 
        Class Brian McVeigh, Airman First Class Peter Morgera, Sergeant Thanh 
        Nguyen, Airman First Class Joseph Rimkus, Senior Airman Jeremy Taylor, 
        Airman First Class Justin Wood, and Airman First Class Joshua Woody;
Whereas the families of these brave airmen still mourn their loss;
Whereas on September 24, 1996, the House of Representatives agreed to House 
        Concurrent Resolution 200 of the 104th Congress honoring the victims of 
        that terrorist bombing;
Whereas those guilty of the attack have yet to be brought to justice; and
Whereas terrorism remains a constant and ever-present threat around the world: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the terrorist bombing 
of the Khobar Towers military housing compound in Dhahran, Saudi 
Arabia, the Congress--
            (1) recognizes the sacrifice of the 19 members of the 
        United States Air Force who died in that attack; and
            (2) calls upon every American to pause and pay tribute to 
        those brave airmen.

            Passed the House of Representatives June 25, 2001.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
