                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the establishment of a 
           National Correctional Officers and Employees Week.

Whereas the operation of correctional facilities represents a crucial component 
        of the criminal justice system;
Whereas correctional officers and employees play a vital role in safeguarding 
        the public from criminal activity;
Whereas correctional officers and employees work under demanding circumstances 
        and face danger in their daily work;
Whereas correctional officers and employees in New York City assisted in the 
        rescue effort in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 
        2001; and
Whereas the Senate has recognized the first week of May as National Correctional 
        Officers and Employees Week: Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) a National Correctional Officers and Employees Week 
        should be established; and
            (2) the President should issue a proclamation calling on 
        the people of the United States to observe such a week with 
        appropriate ceremonies and activities.
