Legislative employees on Cap
itol Hill are deeply disturbed
that the measure to increase
their retirement benefits has
been Sidetracked by the Senate
While conceding that the bill
was not adroitly handled and
left itself open to criticism by
being tackled on to q minor
House-passed bill, they resent
charges that the measure is a
congressional gravy train"
The legislative employees
make the following points:
The bill is designed primarily
for legislative employees and
would apply only to a handful
of Senators and Representa-
tives.
The bill is designed in part
TO offset the inequitable salary
situation which sees top career
employees in the Executive
Branch making higher salaries
than those on Capitol Hill. The
top Federal career pay scale is
$4,000 a year-and is destined
to be raised to $l7,500 or SO
when the pay bill becomes law
compared to the $l4.800 top
Legislative employe salary on
CAPITOL Hill.
For political reasons Con-
gress has kept the salaries OF
its top aides restricted as COM
pared to Executive Branch en-
ployes. A major factor is the
desire of legislators not to an
tagonize their constituents back
home, particularly in the rural
areas. by paying their aides
too high salaries.
Therefore, legislative en-
/ ployes feel that to compensate
for the pay inequity, their re-
tirement benefits should be in
creased. They now have theil
retirement computed on a 21a
per cent basis for the first Il
years of service. then the COM
putation rate is reduced to l \.
per cent.
The proposed bill would in.
crease their computation rate
to 2i2 per cent for all year.
of service. In return their g..
per cent salary contribution
would be increased to 7la pei
cent. All this would give them
the same retirement benefits
drawn by members of Con-
greSs. Also the bill would in
crease benefits for involuntary
separation at age so.
Legislative employees feel that
improved retirement benefits
would provide greater incen.
tive for top Capitol Hill en-
ployes to remain in their jobs
They declare that their present
retirement system, which re-
duces the 2l2 per cent compu-
tation rate to y per cent after
is years, is incentive in reverse
They point to Federal civil
retirement system, pay. leave
benefits, etc, where the amount
of benefits increase in direct
proportion to seniority at
tanned. The present legislative
retirement plan does exactly
the opposite. they point out.
The legislative employees also
are resentful over the $3.50
million cost estimate of the
bill. The $3.50 million figure
would be the cost if the benefits

There is a lot Of talk about
