CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of the Congress that rates of compensation for
civilian employees of the United States should be adjusted at the same
time, and in the same proportion, as are rates of compensation for
members of the uniformed services.

Whereas members of the uniformed services and civilian employees of the United
States make significant contributions to the general welfare of the
Nation;
Whereas increases in the pay of members of the uniformed services and of
civilian employees of the United States have not kept pace with
increases in the overall pay levels of workers in the private sector, so
that there now exists (1) a 33 percent gap between compensation levels
of Federal civilian employees and compensation levels of private sector
workers, and (2) an estimated 10 percent gap between compensation levels
of members of the uniformed services and compensation levels of private
sector workers; and
Whereas, in almost every year during the past two decades, there have been equal
adjustments in the compensation of members of the uniformed services and
the compensation of civilian employees of the United States: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of the Congress that rates of compensation for
civilian employees of the United States should be adjusted at the same
time, and in the same proportion, as are rates of compensation for
members of the uniformed services.
