                               RESOLUTION


 
    Encouraging all offices of the House of Representatives to hire 
                           disabled veterans.

Whereas the men and women of our armed forces play a central role in preserving 
        our Nation's freedom;
Whereas disabled veterans have sacrificed greatly for their country;
Whereas one way for our Nation to repay its debt to those disabled veterans is 
        to help disabled veterans return to their previous lifestyle;
Whereas Congress relies on knowledgeable staff to help formulate policy;
Whereas disabled veterans provide unique perspectives on a range of issues, 
        especially regarding national security;
Whereas Members who are veterans or reservists have played a leading role 
        throughout the history of Congress; and
Whereas Congress wishes to give disabled veterans the opportunity to work in 
        their government as a benefit to those disabled veterans as well the 
        members of Congress on whose staffs they will serve: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives encourages the 
Members, committees, and all other offices of the House to hire 
disabled veterans, and to use the resources that the Committee on House 
Administration will direct the Chief Administrative Officer to provide 
to find qualified disabled veterans to fill positions in these offices.
