Also, the House group agreed

years Of Federal service upon

The House group deleted the
Senate bills provision for an
advisory council composed Of

would not only advise the CSC
on operating the program but

sets up an employee advisory

Mr.. Hammarskjold had pro-

At the opening session Of the
conference all the heads Of del

economic integration and In
sisted on refugee repatriation
TO their homes in Israel as the
only solution to the Palestine
problem.

premiums to employees would be

AS q result Of this testimony.
the House group set minimum
employe premiums In the bill
to make sure that the Govern
ment will be forced to contrib
ute matching contributions Of
enough money to provide q
fairly substantial health insur-
ance program for Government
workers and their families.
Otherwise the Cover n m 9 n t
could set the employe premi-
ums SO low that its matching
contribution would be so little
as to prevent any adequate
health insurance program for
Federal workers and their FAM
lilies.
The House group set no pro-
posed benefits in the bill. leav-
ing 1t UP to the csc to negoti-
ate the benefits within the
funds at hand.
It was estimated that even
If the minimum premiums are
charged employees. the cost OF
the program would be about
$220, million q year. with the
Government contributing $ll0
million. This would be consid-
erably more than the $50 mil
lion q year contribution that
the administration previously
had said was the most It could
afford.

OTHER FEATURES - Tht

However, the House commit
tees bill deleted the Senate
provision that employees retir-
ing involuntarily between date
of enactment and next July ]
would be covered under the

approved the health insurance
bill for Federal workers and
the members Of their families.
And no one was more enthusi-
astic over the bill than Chair
man Murray and Representa-
tive Rees. Republican Of Kan
sas, the groups ranking min
GRITTY member. both Of whom
were rather cool to- the legis-
lation several weeks ago.
The Senate already has APP
proved the health insurance
bill. The House committee
modified the Senate bill some
what. but the differences are
expected to be quickly settled
In House-Senate conference
after the House passes the bill.
It was learned that the bill
approved by the House COM
mittee was drafted by Mr..
Murray, Mr.. Rees. several 9TH
er committee members and
Budget Director Maurice STAINS
In other words. the bill now
has the blessing Of the admin
istration. which only last week
was less than enthusiastic
about 1t. Mr.. STAINS hand In
helping write the bill makes II
certain that President Eisen-
hover will sign 1t when \
reaches the White House.
Mr.. Murray said he woult
seek to bring the bill up in thu
House under suspension Of thu
rules as quickly as possible. per-
haps next week. This woult
save time by not having to gel
the approval Of the House Rule
Committee for House action.
HIGHLIGHTS - The House
committees bill goes along witt
the Senate measure in having
the Government and its EN-
ployes split the cost Of the pro-
gram on q $3.50 basis.
However, the House bill
makes it possible for employees
to buy q still richer policy By
paying more than SO per cent
Of the total premiums. It's ex'
pected that only q few employe!
will avail themselves OF thi'
right.
The House group went alonl
with the Senate in setting
maximum bi-weekly premiums
of S4.25 for married employees
and SITS for single ones.
But the House group wen
one step further and set mini
mum bi-weekly premiums Of s;
