stantial number of revisions de-
signed to protect postal workers
from any downgrading in SAL
aries or loss Of tenure.
The House Civil Service Com
mittee has completed the postal
phase of its Federal pay raise
hearings and will meet in execu-
tive session op Thursday.
Committee members say they
are handling the postal pay
legislation first because it has
complicated reclassification
problems and should be handled
separately. The committee has
scheduled brief classified pay
hearings as soon as 1t reports
the postal measure. Members
have promised that the COM
mittee will approve a classified
employe pay boost along with a
postal pay-reclassification in
crease.
The administrations s per
cent pay raise proposal for
classified and postal workers un-
doubtedly will be liberalized by
the House committee. Some
members are predicting that a
Z or rs per cent pay boost will
be approved.
Thus, q compromise between
the House and Senate, between
the 10 per cent measure due to
be approved by the Senate COM
mittee and the Z or rs per cent
House committee version, is like
ly to produce an average 8 per
cent Federal pay boost.

approve a somewhat similar in
