(a) FINDINGS.—The House of Representatives finds
the following:
(1) Members of the uniformed services and ci-
vilian employees of the United States make signifi-
cant contributions to the general welfare of the Na-
tion.
(2) Increases in the pay of members of the uni-
formed services and of civilian employees of the
United States have not kept pace with increases in
the overall pay levels of workers in the private sec-
tor, so that there now exists—
(A) a 32 percent gap between compensa-
tion levels of Federal civilian employees and
compensation levels of private sector workers;
and
(B) an estimated 10 percent gap between
compensation levels of members of the uni-
formed services and compensation levels of pri-
vate sector workers.
(3) The President’s budget proposal for fiscal
year 2002 includes a 4.6 percent pay raise for mili-
tary personnel.
•HCON 83 RH

civilian Federal employees.

ades, there have been equal adjustments in the com-
pensation of members of the uniformed services and
the compensation of civilian employees of the United
States.
(b) SENSE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.—
It is the sense of the House of Representatives that rates
of compensation for civilian employees of the United
States should be adjusted at the same time, and in the
same proportion, as are rates of compensation for mem-
bers of the uniformed services.

stream and financial security is not through spend-
ing and consumption, but through savings, investing,
and the accumulation of assets.
(2) One-third of all Americans have no assets
available for investment and another 20 percent
have only negligible assets. The situation is even
