Ebderal employees on out-of-
town assignments apparently
Is not In dispute.
But 1t is the provision which
would increase the present 10
cents a mile automobile allow
ance for those who drive cars
on Government business to IL
cents that is causing the diff
ficulty.
The bill has been approved
by the House Government OPP
erations Committee. but at
tempts to bring it up for House
action under suspension of the
rules failed because Of Repub-
lican objections to the proposed
IL cents automobile mileage al
lowance. The House leadership
has hesitated to schedule the
bill because Of the controversy
surrounding it on the autorno-
bile mileage rate and the fact
that the Republicans might
muster the one-third vote
needed to defeat the bill. ANY
bill brought up under suspen-
sion of the rules needs q two
thirds vote in order to pass.
Representative Barry, Re-
publican of New York. has
been leading the fight against
the 12-cent automobile mile
age rate. He favors raising the
auto mileage rate by cent
from the present 10 cents to
II. cents. Thus, the issue of
whether the new mileage rate
should be II or IL cents-a
difference Of l cent-appar-
emily is holding up the bill.
Some Federal employee lead
.ers privately say they would be
agreeable to settling for the IL
cent automobile mileage rate in
order to get what they feel is
the far more important part of
the bill-raising the present $40
a. day maximum travel allow
Ance to SIS.
Furthermore, they declare
that Mr.. Barry has a point in
ebjecting to a 12-cent auto
mobile mileage rate. They say
that few private firms give their
employees that much. and that
even now Federal agencies don't
grant their employees the pres
eht 10 cents a mile maximum
automobile mileage rate.
The lack of House action has
diinmed the prospect Of any
Senate action on the travel bill
before adjournment Of Congress
this year.
HEALTH INSURANCE -
Sponsors of the Government
employe health insurance bill
are hopeful that the House and
Senate will appoint conferees on
the legislation in time for a
conference meeting to be held
this week to settle the differ
ences between the House and
Senate passed bills.
: In any event, it's expected
that only one meeting Of the
eonferees will be needed to
reach agreement and send the
bin to the White House. Even II
the conferees don't meet until
next week, there will be plenty
of time for final action by Con-
'gress before adjournment.
