cessfully championed $4,000 cut
in his own pay by the Eightieth
Congress.
Mr.. Foley, as national housing
administrator at $4,000 a year,
strongly supported President Tru-
mans plan to reorganize the Gov
ernment's housing agencies under a
single boss. AS submitted, the plan
fixed salaries for the six top off,
cials at 10000 a year, the limit set
by the Reorganization Act of 1945,
under which the regrouping was
proposed.
The Senate approved the plan,
making it effective even though the
House had disapproved. But neither
House passed companion measure
which would have set the salary of
the chief official of the new Housing
and Home Finance Agency (HHFA)
at $4,000 annually, and those of
five other top officials at $4,000
a year.
AS result, when Mr.. Foley be-
came acting temporary chief of the

pointments of the top officials by the

dropped from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year. Federal housing officials told
