years session Of Congress.
The administration appar-
emily is satisfied with the modi-
flying amendments adopted by
the Senate and Is not expected
to oppose the measure in the
House.
The bill would make all fu-
ture pay raises for Federal blue
collar workers effective 80
working days after the start Of
a wage survey. At present blue
collar workers often have to
wait six TO eight months after
the start Of a wage board sur
vey and the time the increase
Is approved by the head Of the
department before the raises
go into effect.
AS originally introduced. the
pay raises would have been ef-
fective to the date Of the start
Of the wage survey. This was
modified by the Senate Civil
Service Committee to make the
increases effective 80 calendar
days after the wage survey was
initiated.
80 Working Days
Finally. at the administra-
tons suggestion, an amend
ment was agreed to on the
Senate floor to make the pay
increases retroactive 20 30
working days instead Of 80 cal
endar days. This would amount
to about AZ actual calendar
