                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the Congress that rates of compensation for 
civilian employees of the United States should be adjusted at the same 
  time, and in the same proportion, as are rates of compensation for 
                   members of the uniformed services.

Whereas members of the uniformed services 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 (1) a 33 percent gap between compensation levels 
        of Federal civilian employees and compensation levels of private sector 
        workers, and (2) an estimated 10 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 rates of compensation for 
civilian employees of the United States should be adjusted at the same 
time, and in the same proportion, as are rates of compensation for 
members of the uniformed services.
