                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the gratitude of the House of Representatives to the General 
Accounting Office and its employees for enabling the House to continue 
   its work while the House office buildings were closed due to the 
                          presence of Anthrax.

Whereas the House of Representatives recently found it necessary to close its 
        office buildings to Members, staff, and the public due to the presence 
        of Anthrax;
Whereas the Comptroller General made an offer to the House of Representatives to 
        make the General Accounting Office's building and equipment available to 
        the Members and staff of the House of Representatives during the period 
        in which the House office buildings were closed, an offer the House 
        gratefully accepted;
Whereas the House's subsequent temporary use of General Accounting Office 
        workspaces, telephones, computers, and other equipment imposed an 
        inconvenience on the employees of the Office, who graciously vacated 
        their worksites; and
Whereas the sacrifices made by employees of the General Accounting Office during 
        this period enabled the House of Representatives to continue its 
        legislative work on behalf of the people of the United States: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses its gratitude 
to the General Accounting Office for accommodating the House during the 
recent closure of the House office buildings, and sincerely thanks the 
hundreds of General Accounting Office employees who generously vacated 
their workspaces and otherwise helped to make it possible for the work 
of the House to continue during this period.
    Sec. 2. The Clerk of the House of Representatives shall transmit a 
copy of this resolution to the Comptroller General of the United 
States.
                                 <all>
