                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
  Terminating the emergency determined by the President on August 11, 
 2025, in the Executive Order titled ``Declaring a crime emergency in 
                      the District of Columbia''.

Whereas the President has failed to identify special conditions of an emergency 
        nature that compel the use of the Metropolitan Police Department for 
        Federal purposes in the District of Columbia;
Whereas violent crime in the District of Columbia has declined for the past 2 
        years and currently stands at a 30-year low; and
Whereas the Federal Government, in 2025, has prevented the District of Columbia 
        from spending $1,000,000,000 of its own locally raised revenues--money 
        that was budgeted for essential public safety purposes, including law 
        enforcement, fire and emergency response services, and schools: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That pursuant to section 
740(b) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act (sec. 1-207.40(b), 
D.C. Official Code), the emergency determined by the President on 
August 11, 2025, in the Executive order titled ``Declaring a crime 
emergency in the District of Columbia'' is hereby terminated.
                                 <all>
