    This letter from Representative Gerald Connolly urges President Obama to support including language in the Fiscal Year 2010 federal budget resolution to ensure pay parity in the pay adjustments for civilian federal workers and military personnel. Connolly plans to work with the House Budget Committee chairman to offer an amendment on pay parity during budget deliberations. The letter notes that the administration's budget proposal includes a disparity between civilian and military pay increases, and argues that pay parity honors the contributions of both civilian and military personnel, helps retain the aging federal workforce, and has been the principle for the past two decades. Connolly expresses support for Obama's budget goals and looks forward to working with him on pay parity and other matters.
