RESOLUTION
Commending the Department of Justice for its investigation into the
interference by the Russian Federation in the 2016 United States
Presidential election, and maintaining that the Russian Federation must
be held accountable for its actions.
Whereas, on July 13, 2018, an investigation of the Department of Justice
resulted in the indictment of 12 officials of the Government of the
Russian Federation for interfering with the 2016 United States
Presidential election;
Whereas, on July 13, 2018, when speaking about the digital infrastructure of the
United States being under attack from foreign actors, Director of
National Intelligence Dan Coats stated, ``In regards to state actions,
Russia has been the most aggressive foreign actor. No question. And they
continue their efforts to undermine our democracy.''; and
Whereas, on July 16, 2018, in a joint press conference in Helsinki, Finland, the
President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, denied that the
Russian Federation interfered in the 2016 United States Presidential
election: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) commends the Department of Justice for its thorough
investigation into the interference in the 2016 United States
Presidential election, which resulted in the indictment of 12
intelligence officers of the Government of the Russian
Federation;
(2) agrees with the assessment of the United States
intelligence community that the Russian Federation interfered
with the 2016 United States Presidential election, and rejects
the Russian Federation's denial of such involvement;
(3) reaffirms its position that the Russian Federation must
be held accountable for interfering in the 2016 United States
Presidential election;
(4) calls upon relevant committees of the House of
Representatives to exercise congressional oversight, including
prompt hearings and the release of relevant notes and
information, to better understand the impact of the recent
summit in Helsinki, Finland, on the foreign policy and national
security of the United States; and
(5) calls for the immediate and full implementation of
mandatory sanctions provided for in the Countering America's
Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (Public Law 115-44; 131 Stat.
886), which passed the House of Representatives 419-3, to deter
and punish election interference by the Russian Federation.
