excess workers in one agency to

Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-

promise measure, called it the best
temporary solution that could be
arrived at He pointed out that while
the $4,000 computation limit and
the $1,000 ceiling on increases will
reduce the overtime that has been
paid in the past to certain tech
nlclans, they also remove for the
time being the discrimination of
having some employees in an office
getting overtime pay and others
working just as long without over
