INSURANCE CONVERSION
Stung by criticism that they

the House Appropriations Com
mittee for funds to convert the
life insurance policies of $4,000
present and former Federal

sion officials promise they will
make a strong plea to the Sem
ate Appropriations Committee.
In addition, csc officials dis
close that a request for funds
for this purpose has been made
in a supplemental appropria-
tions bill sent recently to Con-
gresS.
The employees involved are
those who held policies in bene-
fetal associations which are be-
ing forced out of business as a

gress authorized the csc to
take over responsibility and ad-
ministration of these policies.
but the appropriation commit
tees have voted funds only to
convert the policies Of $4,000 of
the l45.000 employees involved.
In recent testimony before the
House appropriations group. the
csc asked for the 100000 need
ed to convert the policies. but
some employees involved felt that
the commission did not press its
request too strongly. csc officials
said they presented the situa-
ton as clearly as they could.

a stronger pitch to the Senate
