Also. the possibility Of spe-
cial pay systems for engineers
and scientists, the authority TO

for special. job-shortage cate
gories, and more fiexibility by
the executive branch to adjust
pay to meet competitive condi-
tions are some Of the items
that would be on the agenda
Of the proposed commission.
Mr.. Eisenhower mentioned
the feasibility and ACCESSIBILITY
of increased administrative au-

The tribunal cited a congress
