                               RESOLUTION


 
  Congratulating the National Federation of Federal Employees on the 
 celebration of the 100th anniversary of its founding and recognizing 
      the vital contributions of its members to the United States.

Whereas the National Federation of Federal Employees (referred to in this 
        preamble as the ``NFFE'') was created in 1917 as the first union in the 
        United States to exclusively represent civil service Federal employees;
Whereas the NFFE preserves, promotes, and improves the rights and working 
        conditions of Federal employees and other professionals through all 
        lawful means, including collective bargaining, legislative activities, 
        and contributing to civic and charitable organizations;
Whereas the contributions of the NFFE are noted in history through a century of 
        achievements for the Federal labor movement, including numerous reforms 
        to workforce policy and working conditions;
Whereas NFFE members serve the United States by performing critical functions 
        throughout Federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, the 
        Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Veterans 
        Affairs, the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service, the National 
        Park Service, the Federal Aviation Administration, the General Services 
        Administration, the Indian Health Service, the Passport Service of the 
        Bureau of Consular Affairs, and the Corps of Engineers;
Whereas, through a partnership with the International Association of Machinists 
        and Aerospace Workers and the American Federation of Labor and Congress 
        of Industrial Organizations, the NFFE promotes better working conditions 
        and an improved quality of life for working families across the United 
        States;
Whereas the NFFE represents more than 100,000 Federal employees; and
Whereas the NFFE continues to ensure that the voices of Federal civil servants 
        are properly represented: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate congratulates and honors the National 
Federation of Federal Employees on the celebration of the 100th 
anniversary of its founding.
