Recognizing the critical missions of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and expressing concern that the systematic reduction of its career workforce has undermined those missions and endangered the safety and security of United States citizens.

Plain-English Summary

This bill is a resolution — meaning it expresses the official position or concern of Congress rather than creating a new law or program. It formally recognizes the important roles that three federal agencies play in keeping Americans safe: the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which responds to natural disasters and emergencies; the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which protects the nation's digital systems and critical infrastructure; and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which screens passengers and cargo at airports and other transportation hubs.

The resolution expresses concern that recent reductions to the career workforce at these agencies — meaning layoffs or departures of experienced, full-time government employees — have weakened the agencies' ability to carry out their core missions. In simple terms, Congress members who support this resolution believe that cutting staff at these agencies puts public safety and national security at risk, whether that means a slower disaster response, weaker defenses against cyberattacks, or reduced security at airports.

This resolution affects all Americans who rely on these agencies, particularly people in disaster-prone areas, travelers who pass through security checkpoints, and anyone whose safety depends on the country's critical infrastructure being protected from cyber threats. It does not change any law, create funding, or require any specific action — it is a formal statement of concern meant to put Congress on record about this issue. The bill has been referred to multiple House committees for consideration.
