On the recordJanuary 29, 2019
This resolution is intended not only to help Federal employees as such, but contractors, small businesses, and others that are connected to government in ways that you may not be able to absolutely identify here. You may have folks who are consultants who are not considered contractors. You may have others who will be affected by this who maybe had a contract with the Federal Government that is now in litigation that has to be dealt with. That is what we are intending to do, not just have a blanket, blanket, blanket, but some connection to the Federal Government.
