million employees in city and county government, four
million employees in State government, and over four
million Federal civilian and military employees;

doctors, forest rangers, engineers, food inspectors, re-
searchers, and foreign service agents, among others;

whose highest principle is one of patriotism, whose fore-
most 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

employees and to inform the American people about the

Whereas biomedical research has contributed to the virtual
