 the number of employees hired should not be arbitrarily limited;
 
 neither current nor future employees should be subject to automatic termination as a result of delinquent taxes;
 
federal agencies should be allowed to determine the hiring strategies that best meet their needs, rather than operating under an arbitrary, across-the-board hiring policy;
 
 the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHB) should not be turned into a voucher program that shifts the costs of health insurance to employees and retirees;
 
 the tax increase on new employees that funds part of the extension of the unemployment insurance program administered by the Department of Labor should be repealed; 
 
 the work that federal employees perform on behalf of the American people should be honored and respected; and
