   Mr. Hoyer (for himself, Mr. Davis of Virginia, Mr. Cummings, Mrs. 
 Morella, Mr. Wynn, and Ms. Norton) submitted the following concurrent 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services, and 
 in addition to the Committee on Government Reform, 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 there should be parity 
 between the compensation of members of the uniformed services and the 
        compensation of civilian employees of the United States.

Whereas members of the uniformed services of the United States and civilian 
        employees of the United States make significant contributions to the 
        general welfare of the Nation;
Whereas increases in the pay of members of the uniformed services and of 
        civilian employees of the United States have not kept pace with 
        increases in the overall pay levels of workers in the private sector, so 
        that there now exists a 30 percent gap between compensation levels of 
        Federal civilian employees and compensation levels of private sector 
        workers, and a 9 to 14 percent gap between compensation levels of 
        members of the uniformed services and compensation levels of private 
        sector workers; and
Whereas, in almost every year during the past two decades, there have been equal 
        adjustments in the compensation of members of the uniformed services and 
        the compensation of civilian employees of the United States: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that there should be parity 
between the compensation of members of the uniformed services and the 
compensation of civilian employees of the United States.
