Recognizing the critical role of congressional staff and support staff 
       working on Capitol Hill and in State or district offices.

Whereas there are nearly 15,000 congressional staff and thousands of support 
        staff working on Capitol Hill and in State or district offices;
Whereas congressional staff and support staff serve a critical role within the 
        United States system of government by supporting the legislative branch;
Whereas support staff serve as an essential resource and provide administrative, 
        technical, and operational services to the congressional community of 
        House of Representatives Members, officers, and staff;
Whereas congressional staff work with constituents from their home States and 
        districts to ensure that their constituents' voices are heard and that 
        their needs are represented;
Whereas congressional staff help constituents navigate Federal agencies to 
        resolve issues, such as the issuance and renewal of passports, 
        adjudication of immigration cases, and applications for Social Security 
        and veterans' benefits;
Whereas congressional staff help strengthen the bond between constituents and 
        Members of Congress;
Whereas congressional staff provide constituent services and help Congress solve 
        the Nation's most intractable challenges;
Whereas congressional staff give back to the national capital region, as well as 
        communities in their States and districts;
Whereas congressional staff are faithful public servants who serve the public 
        with the utmost respect and dignity;
Whereas congressional staff deserve to work in a safe and healthy environment, 
        as they do the people's work; and
Whereas congressional staff and support staff should be accepted, supported, and 
        treated with respect and dignity: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the critical role of congressional staff and 
        support staff working on Capitol Hill and in State or district 
        offices; and
            (2) thanks congressional staff and support staff for the 
        commitment and essential services that they provide.
