•HJ 108 IH

Whereas public employees at every level of government faithfully serve their fellow Americans, and there are now nine

million employees in city and county government, four

million employees in State government, and over four

million Federal civilian and military employees;

Whereas Americans are aware of the many contributions public employees have made to the quality of their lives, in

occupations that run the gamut from astronauts to

zoologists, including scientists, police officers, teachers,

doctors, forest rangers, engineers, food inspectors, researchers, and foreign service agents, among others;

Whereas the Nation should value a professional civil service

whose highest principle is one of patriotism, whose foremost commitment is to excellence, and whose experience

and expertise are a national resource to be used and

respected;

Whereas the millions of workers who serve the Nation are

men and women of knowledge, ability, and integrity who

deserve to be recognized for their dedicated service; and

Whereas designating a week to honor these employees will

provide a dual opportunity to pay tribute to our public

employees and to inform the American people about the

scope and importance of public service, including the

range of employment opportunities available to our young

people: Now, therefore, be it

1 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives

2 of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

3 That the week of May 3 through May 9, 1993, is des4 ignated as ‘‘Public Service Recognition Week’’. The Presi5 dent is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation
