RESOLUTION 
Congratulating the National Treasury Employees Union on 
its 85th anniversary and commending the dedication 
shown Federal employees and continued service provided 
by the National Treasury Employees Union and the 
members of the National Treasury Employees Union. 
Whereas, in 1938, a group of employees in Wisconsin banded 
together to eliminate political influence in the jobs of 
those employees as revenue collectors, marking the begin-
ning of the National Treasury Employees Union (referred

the professional workforce at the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice that exists today; 
Whereas, in 1972, NTEU signed the first negotiated bar-
gaining agreement of NTEU, which developed a shared 
set of responsibilities for managers and bargaining unit 
employees that were designed to improve the workforce 
and achieve the mission of the Internal Revenue Service; 
Whereas, since that initial agreement, NTEU has promoted 
new and innovative workplace policies that benefit Fed-
eral employees and agencies, such as alternative work 
schedules and telework policies; 
Whereas NTEU— 
(1) serves as a powerful voice for the members of 
NTEU and for Federal employees in general; 
(2) has successfully sought to promote and defend 
Federal service as a noble calling involving a variety of 
challenging and rewarding professions; and 
(3) has fought tirelessly to ensure that Federal em-
ployees are free from discrimination, politicization, and 
retaliation for disclosing Federal Government waste, 
fraud, and abuse; 
Whereas the work of NTEU and the knowledge and skills of 
the highly trained individuals represented by NTEU who 
work for the Federal Government contribute significantly 
to the greatness and prosperity of the United States; 
Whereas NTEU has grown to represent approximately 
150,000 employees from 34 different Federal agencies, 
and the members of NTEU, among other things— 
(1) collect the revenue that funds the Federal Gov-
ernment; 
(2) help protect the borders of the United States;

(3) ensure that individuals in the United States have 
clean air and water; 
(4) protect consumers, investors, bank depositors, 
and agriculture commodity traders; 
(5) serve the beneficiaries of important health and 
social programs and ensure the safety of food and drugs 
in the United States; and 
(6) protect and preserve the national parks and pub-
lic lands of the United States; 
Whereas the mission of NTEU, to help create workplaces in 
which every Federal employee is treated with dignity and 
respect, has been met by the efforts of NTEU to— 
(1) advocate for fair pay and benefits; 
(2) negotiate for work-life balance initiatives; and 
(3) ensure a merit-based, nonpartisan civil service; 
Whereas, whether advocating on Capitol Hill, at the bar-
gaining table, or in workplaces across the United States, 
NTEU continues to make history through its accomplish-
ments; and 
Whereas, in 2023, NTEU is celebrating its 85th anniversary: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) congratulates the National Treasury Em-
ployees Union on its 85th anniversary; and 
(2) commends— 
(A) the work of the National Treasury 
Employees Union; and
