STATEMENT OF THE MANAGERS ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE The managers on the part of the House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendment of the House to the bill (S. 1479) to discontinue the operation of village-delivery service in second-class post offices, to transfer village carriers in such offices to the city-delivery service, and for other purposes, submit the following statement in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the conferees and recommended in the accompanying conference report: The bill provides for conversion of village letter-carrier service at second-class post offices to city letter-carrier service. The Senate bill provided that a village carrier at such offices should be assigned to the grade as a city carrier to which he would have advanced had his original appointment been as a city carrier. The House amendment provided that such carriers should be assigned to the lowest grade provided for regular positions in the city delivery service. The Senate bill also provided that carriers transferred to the citydelivery service should retain credit, for promotion purposes, for periods of service performed as village carriers. The House amendment struck out this provision. The Senate recedes from its disagreement to the amendment of the House and, accordingly, the conference agreement is identical with the bill as amended by the House. 2 TOM MURRAY, EDWARD H. REES, Managers on the Part of the House. |
