Honoring the men and women of the Drug Enforcement Administration on the 50th anniversary of the agency.

House Resolution 501 is a commemorative measure that officially recognizes the 50th anniversary of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The resolution formally honors the agency’s employees for their service and pays specific tribute to those who have been killed or wounded in the line of duty. As a "simple resolution," this bill is a symbolic gesture used to express the sentiment of the House of Representatives; it does not create new laws, change federal drug policy, or authorize additional government spending.
