[H. Res. 201 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                          June 4, 2003.
Whereas over 216,931 members of the reserve components of the Armed Forces have 
        been called to leave their families and their jobs, in service to this 
        country and her citizens;
Whereas businesses of every size and scope have been impacted as their employees 
        who are members of the reserve components of the Armed Forces have been 
        called away from their employment in local business and industry;
Whereas businesses across the Nation have been exceptionally accommodating to 
        the unique demands on the time, resources, and responsibilities of 
        employee spouses and families of active duty military personnel who have 
        been deployed for service; and
Whereas business owners have made sacrifices so that they might ensure 
        observance of the letter and the spirit of the Uniformed Services 
        Employment and Reemployment Rights Act in many ways including: restoring 
        employment status after military service obligation has been fulfilled, 
        providing continuation of health benefits to active duty employees and 
        their dependents, and committing uninterrupted pension and retirement 
        benefits: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that--
            (1) the businesses that establish the backbone of our Nation in 
        times of peace and rise to a greater standard of resolve in times of 
        challenge do so by--
                    (A) carrying on the good work of commerce, industry, and 
                innovation; and
                    (B) steadfastly supporting the members of our military and 
                their families; and
            (2) the business owners of our Nation deserve our commendation and 
        sincere expression of gratitude.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
