MODERATE

The engrossed version of HRES 1128 adds three new 'Whereas' clauses detailing specific consequences of a DHS funding lapse: missed paychecks for Coast Guard civilian personnel, weakened operations against transnational criminal organizations smuggling sanctioned oil in the Western Hemisphere, and heightened vulnerability to cyberattacks from Iran, Russia, and China targeting critical infrastructure. The operative section also shifts language from 'partial funding' to 'withholding funding,' making the resolution's criticism more direct.

SCOPE

New clause stating that during a Coast Guard funding lapse, civilian personnel have missed paychecks, which could erode morale and hinder recruiting efforts.

New clause stating that the Coast Guard cannot fully maintain mission readiness without funding, weakening operations to combat transnational criminal organizations in the Western Hemisphere, including smuggling of sanctioned oil.

New clause stating that CISA must remain fully operational given increasing vulnerability to cyberattacks from Iran, Russia, and China who have targeted American hospital networks, electric grids, water treatment facilities, and energy infrastructure.

REQUIREMENT

Operative section (2) changed from 'partial funding of individual Department of Homeland Security components' to 'withholding funding of individual Department of Homeland Security components,' shifting the framing from a description of partial funding to a more direct accusation of deliberate withholding.

TECHNICAL

Added acronyms in parentheses after first mention: (CISA) for Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and (FEMA) for Federal Emergency Management Agency.
