    It is the sense of Congress that, in the case of any future change 
provided by law in the manner of determining cost-of-living adjustments 
for Federal civilian or military retirees (including changes relating 
to percentage of adjustment or effective date of adjustment), such law 
should provide for identical changes in the case of retirement benefits 
for retired Federal civilian employees and in the case of retirement 
benefits for military retirees.
