idential veto resulted not so
much from the fact that postal
rates weren't increased. but that
the bill did not provide for postal
salary Redistribution.
Here is the timetable on Con-
gress's action on pay raise legis-
lation:
The House will take up and
approve postal salary increases
next week. There will be a move
made to liberalize the House
Civil Service Committees rs per
cent average boost to 8 per cent
or SO. Whether this move sue
ceeds depends on what the
House Democratic leadership de-
cides.
House Majority Leader Nc
Cormack is reported sympathetic
to the postal unions move to
have the amount in the House
Civil Service Committees bill
increased to 8 per cent. How
ever, the final decision probably
will rest with House Speaker
Rayburn, and the Texas Demo-
crat has not yet committed him.
self on the issue.
House action on classified pay
raise legislation is expected in
about two or three weeks, after
action by the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee on the pay bill.
The committee has scheduled
brief hearings on classified pay
legislation this week.
Chairman Murray is sponsor
ing a 6 per cent pay boost for
classified employees, while sew
eral other committee members
will fight for the same average
rs per cent raise voted postal
workers.
The Senate late this week or
early in the following week is
scheduled to vote on the 10
per cent classified and postal
pay raise legislation approved
by the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee.
Chairman Johnston OF the
committee and the bills other
sponsors feel that they have the
necessary votes to secure Sen
ate passage of the 10 per cent
legislation.
The differences in the House
and Senate bills will have to be
adjusted by House-Senate con-
ferees. The feeling on Capitol
Hill appears to be that the final
agreement reached on pay
legislation will be closer to the
Houses version than that of the
Senate.
Should this be the case, Sen
ate conferees would be in an
excellent position to insist that,
in return, the pay raises be
retroactive to January / as pro-
vided for in the Senate Civil
Service Committees legislation.
