,,iv  #aacth ,,congress  #ast ,session  
,h4 ,,res4 #bif  ,,in ,,the ,,house ,,of
 ,,representatives  ,july #aj1 #bjac    
,mr4 ,peters of ,california submitted   
the following resolution2 which was     
referred to the ,committee on ,armed    
,services  ,,resolution  ,expressing the
 sense of the ,house of ,representatives
 that before the ,united ,states ends   
its commitment in ,afghanistan and      
,united ,states involvement in the      
conflict draws to a close1 the ,nation  
needs to ensure no one is left behind   
and all members of the ,united ,states  
,armed ,forces are accounted for4       
,whereas on ,july #g1 #bjac1 the war in 
,afghanistan will enter its #adbnd      
month2 ,whereas as of ,april #cj1 #bjac1
 a total of #ggf1jee members of the     
,united ,states ,armed ,forces have     
deployed to ,afghanistan and spent most 
of their tour there2 ,whereas in ,june  
#bjaa1 ,president ,barack ,obama        
announced his plan to begin the         
withdrawal of ,united ,states troops    

from ,afghanistan1 changing the mission 
from one of combat to one of support2   
,whereas the number of members of the   
,united ,states ,armed ,forces in       
,afghanistan1 which peaked at about     
#ajj1jjj in ,june #bjaa1 was reduced to 
a pre-surge level of about #ff1jjj as of
 ,september #bj1 #bjab2 ,whereas        
currently roughly #fd1jjj members of the
 ,united ,states ,armed ,forces are     
serving in ,afghanistan2 ,whereas levels
 of members of the ,united ,states      
,armed ,forces are expected to fall to  
#cd1jjj by ,february #bjad1 with the    
bulk of that drawdown to take place in  
the winter of #bjac to #bjad2 ,whereas  
the ,united ,states has depended upon   
the service and sacrifices of           
generations of courageous citizens to   
protect and uphold the ,nation's ideals2
 ,whereas the people of the ,united     
,states and ,congress have a            
responsibility to support the troops    
that have been sent into harm's way1    
making all efforts necessary to bring   

them home safely and expeditiously2     
,whereas ,army ,sergeant ,bowe ,robert  
,bergdahl of ,hailey1 ,idaho1 the only  
known ,united ,states ,prisoner of ,war1
 was taken captive on ,june #cj1 #bjji1 
and still remains in ,afghanistan2 and  
,whereas the creed ,leave ,no ,man      
,behind has long been part of the spirit
 and culture of the ,united ,states     
,armed ,forces3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  
,that it is the sense of the ,house of  
,representatives that before the ,united
 ,states ends its commitment in         
,afghanistan and ,united ,states        
involvement in the conflict draws to a  
close1 the ,nation needs to ensure no   
one is left behind and all members of   
the ,united ,states ,armed ,forces are  
accounted for4
