                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the Congress that Federal retirement cost-of-
               living adjustments should not be delayed.

Whereas, over the years, Federal employees and retirees have regularly been 
        forced to bear a disproportionate share in connection with deficit 
        reduction; and
Whereas it would be inequitable to delay cost-of-living adjustments for Federal 
        retirees when like delays for similarly situated retirees under other 
        systems are clearly inappropriate: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that cost-of-living adjustments 
for Federal retirees should be paid beginning in January of each year, 
as current law prescribes, and should not be delayed, whether as part 
of a budget agreement or otherwise.
