 and recognizing the essential work of  

,united ,states ,capitol personnel1     
including the ,united ,states ,capitol  
,police4  ,whereas1 on ,january #f1     
#bjba1 violent insurrectionists1        
carrying ,confederate flags and symbols1
 ransacked the ,capitol1 destroying     
property and vandalizing the building in
 an attempt to disrupt a joint session  
of ,congress to count the electoral     
ballots and certify the results of the  
#bjbj presidential election2 ,whereas1  
for nearly #e hours1 those violent      
attackers used bear spray1 flag poles1  
fire extinguishers1 pipes1 bats1 bricks1
 and other items to assault law         
enforcement officers from the ,united   
,states ,capitol ,police1 the           
,metropolitan ,police ,department1 and  
other law enforcement agencies who      
bravely defended the ,capitol that day2 
,whereas more than #ajj law enforcement 
officers were injured defending the     
,capitol1 including sustaining traumatic
 brain injuries1 cracked ribs1 smashed  
spinal discs1 and stabbings1 and the    

events of that day contributed to the   
deaths of #e officers who later passed  
away2 ,whereas1 in the days following   
the ,january #f attack1 the ,senate     
unanimously passed and ,congress rightly
 awarded ,congressional ,gold ,medals to
 the ,united ,states ,capitol ,police   
and the ,metropolitan ,police           
,department1 recognizing the many       
officers who deserve the deep gratitude 
of the ,united ,states for putting their
 lives on the line to protect the       
,capitol and the democratic process of  
the ,united ,states2 ,whereas ,congress 
passed the ,consolidated ,appropriations
 ,act of #bjbb 7,public ,law #aag-ajc71 
which was signed into law on ,march #ae1
 #bjbb1 directing that a plaque be      
placed on the western front of the      
,united ,states ,capitol to honor the   
,united ,states ,capitol ,police and    
other law enforcement officers who      
responded on ,january #f1 #bjba1 yet    
nearly #d years after passage1 the      
,speaker of the ,house has failed to    

comply with that law and allow the      
completed plaque to be installed2       
,whereas ,capitol custodial1 janitorial1
 and maintenance staff were there to    
pick up the pieces and deserve the      
distinct honor and gratitude of the     
,united ,states1 as they also put their 
lives on the line serving the ,united   
,states on ,january #f1 #bjba2 ,whereas 
the work of ,united ,states ,capitol    
personnel1 including the ,united ,states
 ,capitol ,police and ,capitol          
custodial1 janitorial1 and maintenance  
staff1 allowed ,members of the ,senate  
to return to the ,senate ,chamber to    
continue its constitutional duty to     
certify the electoral votes and secure  
the democracy of the ,united ,states2   
,whereas the ,united ,states ,capitol   
,police officers and ,capitol custodial1
 janitorial1 and maintenance staff and  
other essential workers1 including food 
services staff1 come to work each day   
and do their jobs with skill1           
dedication1 and dignity2 and ,whereas   

the work of the ,capitol ,police and    
,capitol personnel is too often         
overlooked1 but remains essential to the
 functioning of the ,federal            
,government3 ,now1 therefore1 be it     
,that the ,senate-- 7#a7 expresses

following1 to restore dignity to the
