                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                           February 27, 2001

Mr. Sarbanes (for himself, Mr. Warner, Ms. Mikulski, Mr. Bingaman, Mr. 
Kennedy, and Mr. Akaka) submitted the following concurrent resolution; 
      which was referred to the Committee on Governmental Affairs

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of Congress that there should continue to be 
 parity between the adjustments in the compensation of members of the 
uniformed services and the adjustments in 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 United States;
Whereas increases in the levels of pay of members of the uniformed services and 
        of civilian employees of the United States have not kept pace with 
        increases in the overall levels of pay of workers in the private sector;
Whereas there is a 32 percent gap between the compensation levels of Federal 
        civilian employees and the compensation levels of private sector 
        workers, and an estimated 10 percent gap between the compensation levels 
        of members of the uniformed services and the compensation levels of 
        private sector workers; and
Whereas in almost every year of the past 2 decades, members of the uniformed 
        services and civilian employees of the United States have received equal 
        adjustments in compensation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that there should continue to be 
parity between the adjustments in the compensation of members of the 
uniformed services and the adjustments in the compensation of civilian 
employees of the United States.
