                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of Congress that the laws that apply to the 
private sector and the other branches of the Federal Government should 
                           apply to Congress.

Whereas the declining credibility of Congress has affected the spirit of our 
        Nation;
Whereas an increasing number of American people perceive Members of Congress as 
        placing their interests before those of the Nation;
Whereas Congress has notably exempted itself from major laws governing the 
        private sector and the other branches of the Federal Government; and
Whereas Congress might enact more workable laws if those laws also applied to 
        Congress itself: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that Congress is not exempt from the 
laws that it enacts and should govern itself according to the laws that 
apply to the private sector and the other branches of the Federal 
Government.
