SERVICES 
UNDER 
THE 
THRIFT 
SAVINGS 
PLAN. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that— 
(1) members of the uniformed services should 
have a retirement system that is at least as generous 
as the one which is available to Federal civilian em-
ployees; and 
(2) Federal civilian employees receive matching 
contributions from their employing agencies for their 
contributions to the Thrift Savings Fund, but the 
costs of requiring such a matching contribution from 
the Department of Defense could be significant.
