days should tell the story. the
committee yesterday completed
hearings on the controversial
Written rider but faces quite a
job in closed session to draft a
compromise modification OF the
rider that will permit the con-
version into permanent status of
many thousands Of indefinite
employees.
The Written rider is the most
important feature of the fringe
benefits; but there are other
items, such as more super-grade
jobs and hiring standards, on
which the committee may want
to hold more additional hear
ings.
Therefore, classified pay raise
sponsors in the committee would
like to have the pay increase
handled as separate measure.
Meanwhile, the committees
members have been presented
with four or five alternatives re-
garding a classified pay raise.
Republican Representatives
Hagen of Minnesota and Corbett
of Pennsylvania, who led the
successful move in the commit
| tee for a Z per cent postal pay
increase bill, are considering
sponsorship of per cent clas-
sifled pay bill.
Other proposals before the
committee include S and 6
per cent classified pay increase,
and one that would range from
500 to $500.
The committee will hear addi-
tional testimony on classified pay
on Thursday when Civil Service
Commission Chairman Philip
Young testifies. The committee
had closed its pay raise hearings,
but decided to hear Mr.. Young
again to get the administrations
reaction to the various pay plans.
Originally, the administration
urged an average 312 per cent
Redistribution increase plan for
classified workers.
-
ROUGH TIME-Meanwhile,
Mr.. Young and other csc off,
Gals had a rough time yesterday |
before the committee. The COM
mission chief ran into almost |
blanket committee opposition
to his request for outright re-
peal Of the Written rider.
Representative Murray, Dem
ocrat, of Tennessee, the groups |
ranking minority member,
echoed the sentiments of his |
colleagues when he said that |
outright repeal was out Of the |
question.
Mr.. Murray said the Written
rider would allow the perma-
nent status appointments of
2O8, ZOO Federal indefinite en-
ployes, since the number Of per-
manent workers is that much
below the level of September
/, 1850, He said the commission
could proceed with its proposed
conversion program with out
need of having the rider re-
pealed.
The Tennessee Democrat. who
played a major role in drafting
the original rider. said the COM
mittee would agree to Written
rider notifications If the COM
mission suggested them. Also,
Mr.. Murray said, the committee
was ready to lift the September
/, 1850, ceiling by another 10
per cent so that the CSC could
authorize a total of about 230, 900
permanent appointments during
the next few years.
Noting that the csc converA
sion program calls for $4,000
immediate permanent appoint
ments, plus another 100000 dur
ing the first year of the program.
Mr.. Murray said the proposed
notifications and the adjust
ment Of the personnel ceiling
would enable the commission to
make nearly all Of these perma-
nent appointments possible.
