H. CON. RES. 162 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Whereas the United States continues to rely extensively upon 
the members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air 
Force, and Coast Guard who are deployed overseas and 
stationed at military support installations within the 
United States; 
Whereas members of the Armed Forces, regardless of branch 
of service or whether serving in an active or a
•HCON 162 EH 
reserve component, have carried out their mission objec-
tives with valor, distinction, and steadfast dedication to 
the cause of liberty and democracy; 
Whereas more than 1,600,000 members of the Armed Forces 
have deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, and many of these 
members have served multiple deployments; 
Whereas there are more than 3,000,000 family members and 
other dependents of the members of the Armed Forces 
serving on active duty and in reserve components; 
Whereas nearly 50 percent of the members of the Armed 
Forces, who are deployed away from their permanent 
duty stations, have left families with children behind; 
Whereas over 50 percent of the members of the Armed 
Forces who are currently deployed in Iraq are married; 
Whereas military families have persevered in the face of chal-
lenges and continue to provide critically important com-
fort and care and numerous other contributions to their 
loved ones deployed overseas or stationed within the 
United States; 
Whereas there currently is a 4 percent gap between the pay 
increases provided to members of the Armed Forces and 
the pay increases provided to private sector employees; 
and 
Whereas it is in the national interest of the United States to 
offer to the members of the Armed Forces comparable 
pay to that which the civilian sector provides in order to 
retain highly qualified men and women in uniform and to 
faithfully reward their valiant service to the United 
States: Now, therefore, be it
•HCON 162 EH 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

Guard by 3.5 percent, effective January 1, 2008; 
and 
(2) Congress and the President should increase 
the basic pay for members of all components of the
