                    IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                              May 8, 1997

Mr. Bilirakis submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was 
 referred to the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, and in 
  addition to the Committee on National Security, for a period to be 
subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration 
  of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee 
                               concerned

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


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

Whereas, over the years, Federal employees and retirees and military personnel 
        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 
        civilian and military retirees when like delays for other retirees are 
        considered to be 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 civilian and military 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.
