In the wake of a series of attacks at federal facilities, the House yesterday evening expressed its support for measures to protect government employees on the job.

The vote came in support of a resolution introduced by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va. Specifically, the text of the resolution:

(1) expresses the Nation's appreciation for the outstanding contributions made by Federal employees to the United States;

(2) supports the goal of protecting the safety and security of our Federal employees; and

(3) urges that the Government seek ways to improve the safety and security of our Federal employees.

Here's Moran on the House floor backing the resolution:

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
