any retirement liberalization for
Federal employees for another
year. Or it could mean that
Congress would vote annuity and
family survivorship benefits on
a gradual piecemeal basis. i'm
proving the retirement system
this year on a modest basis and
adding improvements in Sue
ceeding years.
OTHER MEASURES - The
administrators plan for health
insurance benefits for Federal
employees is somewhat less con-
troversial than the retirement
issue, but it is still far from
being settled to the satisfaction
of all parties concerned.
Federal employe groups are in
sisting that the Government pay
"a greater share than the one
third cost proposed by the adj
ministration. Employe leaders
say that the administrator
proposal that Federal employees
pay two-thirds of the cost-$l04
a year for those with families
and $50 annually for those who
are singles much too large a
premium for employees. They
want the Government to pay at
least half the cost and perhaps
even more.
There are indications that the
administration will agree to have
the Government foot one-half
the cost Of the program.
Employe groups also want
more comprehensive benefits
than originally proposed.
And the various private health
insurance groups and insurance
companies. are also dissatisfied
with the way the program would
be operated. Each is vying for
as much business as they can get
from the proposed program and
each is fearful that competing
companies would get the lions
share of the business.
AS a result, the administration
lis trying to revise its proposal
to provide for a more simplifie6
operation of the program and te
assure more equitable participa-
ton by the various companies.
AS the new year begins, ad-
ministration officials are hoping
that the health insurance pro.
fposal can be worked out and win
the approval OF Congress.

MOST CONTROVERSIAL
The administrators proposal
that the civil service retirement
system be supplemented by So
Icial security coverage for Fed
leral employees in order to in
Grease their benefits. Is by far
the most controversial bit OF
Government employe legislation
before Congress.
Compared to it, the raging pay
raise controversy Of the past
two years may seem pallid in
retrospect.
Most Federal employe unions
have expressed strong oppose
ton to the administrators plan,
declaring that the desired in
Grease in annuity and family
Isurvivorship benefits should be
achieved within the framework
Iof the civil service retirement
system.
As this column has pointed out
in the past. the Federal en-
Eploye unions strong opposition
to social security Is enough to
kill it. since Congress isn't likely
to give Federal workers some
thing that they don't want.
The question remains whether
Federal employe leaders might
change their minds, or If the
administration can come up
with some compromise proposal.
These possibilities don't seem
too likely.
Which brings up the question
as to what. II any. retirement
and family survivorship increases
Federal employees can expect
from Congress this year through
liberalization Of the civil service
retirement system, without social
security coverage.
Administration officials con-
tend that the civil service re-
ltirement systems can't stand any
further liberalization. They as
Isert that any added benefits can
only come through supplemental
social security coverage.
Whether the administration
will actively oppose any retire.
ment liberalizations without So
lcial security features remains to
be seen.
The controversy could DELAY
