,swalwell of ,california7 submitted the 
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,oversight and    
,government ,reform  ,,resolution       
,condemning the attack that occurred at 
the ,oak ,creek ,sikh ,gurdwara on      
,august #e1 #bjab1 and honoring the     
memory of those who died in the attack4 

,whereas1 on ,sunday1 ,august #e1 #bjab1
 a mass shooting took place1 fueled by  
intolerance1 killing #f worshipers at   
the ,sikh ,temple of ,wisconsin1 a      
,gurdwara1 in ,oak ,creek1 ,wisconsin2  
,whereas the attack occurred as members 
of the congregation prepared langar1 a  
free community meal served to all       
visitors to ,gurdwaras1 regardless of   
their race1 religion1 sex1 or social    
background2 ,whereas #d individuals were
 injured including a responding officer1
 ,lieutenant ,brian ,murphy1 who was    
shot #ae times at close range2 ,whereas 
,lieutenant ,brian ,murphy and all the  
first responders to the ,oak ,creek     
,gurdwara demonstrated great courage in 
their quick response to the shooting1   
ultimately saving lives2 ,whereas in the
 ,united ,states1 ,sikhs have endured   
high levels of stereotyping1 bullying1  
and violence1 all of which rose         
dramatically in the wake of the attacks 
of ,september #aa1 #bjja2 ,whereas the  
,associated ,press reported that more   

than #gjj such incidents of intolerance 
targeting ,sikhs took place over the    
last decade2 ,whereas the ,oak ,creek   
shooting was one of the most lethal     
attacks on a place of worship in the    
,united ,states since the #aifc bombing 
of the #afth ,street ,baptist ,church   
and another sad example of violence and 
intolerance against ,sikhs2 ,whereas the
 ,sikh community responded to the       
shooting in ,oak ,creek with compassion 
and stayed true to the ,sikh principle  
of ,chardi ,kala1 remaining in high     
spirits2 ,whereas although the effects  
of this shooting will be felt for years 
to come1 the ,oak ,creek community will 
continue to overcome the tragedy and    
become stronger than before with a      
renewed sense of oneness1 understanding1
 and cooperation2 and ,whereas the      
,august #e1 #bjab1 shooting was not just
 a ,sikh tragedy1 but an ,american      
tragedy3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that  
the ,house of ,representatives--  7#a7  
condemns in the strongest possible terms

 the horrific attack that occurred at   
the ,sikh ,temple of ,wisconsin on      
,august #e1 #bjab2  7#b7 honors the     
memory of ,suveg ,singh ,khattra1       
,satwant ,singh ,kaleka1 ,ranjit ,singh1
 ,sita ,singh1 ,paramjit ,kaur1 and     
,prakash ,singh1 who died in the attack2
  7#c7 offers its heartfelt condolences 
to the families1 friends1 and loved ones
 of those who died in the attack2  7#d7 
applauds the bravery of ,lieutenant     
,brian ,murphy and other first          
responders who prevented the gunman from
 potentially taking more lives and      
quickly treated wounded individuals2 and
  7#e7 condemns intolerance1 including  
religious and racial discrimination1 and
 calls for continued vigilance against  
violence4
