 Supporting the goals and ideals of National Correctional Officers and 
                            Employees Week.

Whereas the operation of correctional facilities represents a crucial component 
        of the criminal justice system of the United States;
Whereas correctional personnel play a vital role in protecting the rights of the 
        public to be safeguarded from criminal activity;
Whereas correctional personnel are responsible for the care, custody, and 
        dignity of the human beings charged to their care;
Whereas correctional personnel work under demanding circumstances and face 
        danger in their daily work lives; and
Whereas the week beginning May 2, 2004, has been designated as National 
        Correctional Officers and Employees Week: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Correctional 
        Officers and Employees Week; and
            (2) honors all correctional officers and employees for 
        their service to their communities, States, and the Nation.
