SALARY AND WAGE ADMINISTRATION IN THE

FEDERAL SERVICE

MONDAY, MAY 14, 1945

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE CIVIL SERVICE,

Washington, D. C.

The subcommittee met at 10:30 a. m., Hon. Henry M. Jackson, of Washington (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.

Present: Messrs. Jackson, Miller of California, Combs, of Texas, and Vursell, of Illinois, members of the subcommittee. Also present: Mr. Edward H. Rees of Kansas.

Mr. JACKSON. The subcommittee will come to order. Congressman Ramspeck, a short time ago, appointed a special subcommittee to deal with the question of pay-raise legislation. He appointed me as chairman, and the other members of the subcommittee are Congressman Miller of California, Congressman Combs, of Texas, Congressman Herter, of Massachusetts, and Congressman Vursell, of Illinois. I believe all the members have a copy of the report and study that was made by Mr. McCormack and his staff in connection with the pay structure of the executive branch of the Federal Government I personally want to compliment Colonel McCormack and his staff for the excellent job which they have done in compiling this information. It certainly will be most helpful to the committee.

I think that the members of the subcommittee will find that the pay structure of the executive branch of the Government is a bit complicated, because there are so many different laws and Executive orders that affect the various categories of employment, making it difficult to understand the entire picture without an analysis such as the one which the staff headed by Mr. McCormack has made possible for us. At this point in the record the bills under consideration by the subcommittee will be inserted.

(The bills referred to are as follows:)

[H. R. 2497, 79th Cong., 1st sess.]

A BILL To improve salary and wage administration in the Federal service; to provide pay for overtime and for night and holiday work; to amend the Classification Act of 1923, as amended; and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
