                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of Congress that the Capitol Police Board should 
exercise the authority granted to it under law to exempt members of the 
 United States Capitol Police with good service records from mandatory 
             separation from employment at 57 years of age.

Whereas the United States Capitol Police is facing a severe manpower shortage;
Whereas taxpayers are forced to pay millions of dollars each year in overtime 
        for members of the United States Capitol Police;
Whereas having the United States Capitol Police retain experienced officers with 
        good service records is a viable option to enhance the security of the 
        Capitol complex and reduce the costs associated with recruiting, hiring, 
        and training new officers; and
Whereas Congress should do everything in its power to ensure that the United 
        States Capitol Police retains as many experienced officers with good 
        service records as possible: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that in the case of members of the 
United States Capitol Police with good service records, the Capitol 
Police Board should exercise the authority granted to it under sections 
8335(d) and 8425(c) of title 5, United States Code, to exempt those 
members from mandatory separation from employment at 57 years of age.
