                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of the Congress that Social Security reform 
  measures should not force State and local government employees into 
                       Social Security coverage.

Whereas an estimated 5 million State and local government employees are 
        currently covered under public pensions outside the Social Security 
        program; and
Whereas these State and local government employees deserve to be secure in the 
        knowledge that their coverage will not be affected against their will by 
        Social Security reform measures: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That no Social Security reform plan favorably considered by the 
Congress should cause State and local government employees covered 
under public pensions to be forced into coverage under the old-age, 
survivors, and disability insurance program under title II of the 
Social Security Act.
