$4,000. Few men could have filled the
position of President as MIR. Dole had.
He had not been paid as President,
but only as Minister of Foreign
Affairs.
Mr.. Emmeluth would have liked to
second the motion, but not regarding
it as payment of salary for services in
the past. He would favor appropriate |
ing a separate sum for past services. |
A thousand dollars q month was not |
too much, and he would favor that |
sum.
Minister Damon said there was |
always a stigma attaching to back |
pay. Mr. Dole would not want it. |
He had taken the Office without re-
ference to any such sum.
Mr.. Tenney said Mr.. Dole had not
considered the figure at all when he
took office. He favored $4,000.
The Attorney General said the idea
was to have a salary sufficient to COM
mand the services of the best men,
and maintain the proper dignity of
the office. The committee had de-
cided on $4,000, but he had no objec-
to $4,000.
The amendment raising the amount
to $4,000 was unanimously adopted,
and the bill, as amended, was passed.
