This is an important House concurrent resolution. It is number 378. It commends the District of Columbia National Guard, the National Guard Bureau, and the Department of Defense for the assistance provided to the United States Capitol Police and the entire congressional community in response to the terrorist and anthrax attacks of September and October of 2001. As a result of the attacks, the Capitol Police implemented additional security measures and began working lengthy hours, which continue to this day. With the assistance of the National Guard, the Capitol Police were relieved from the necessity of working even longer hours and, therefore, helped to lessen the sacrifices that needed to be made by our hard-working officers and their families. The National Guard has played an integral role in providing security to the U.S. Capitol and, by extension, its visitors, staff, Members of the House and the Senate, and the entire Nation.
