The managers on the part of the House at, the conference on the
disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendments of the Senate
to the bill (H. R. 7824) to provide for the administration of perform-
ance-rating plans for certain officers and employees of the Federal
Government, and for other purposes, submit the following statement
in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the conferees
and recommended in the accompanying conference report:
Amendment No. 1: This amendment is of a clerical nature, acid is
made necessary by the recession on the part of the House on amend-
ment No. 2. The House recedes.
Amendment No. 2: Section 2 (b) of the House bill excluded 10 cate-
gories of employees from the operation of the bill. The Senate amend-
ment adds an eleventh category consisting of employees outside the
continental United States who are paid in accordance with local native
prevailing wage rates for the area in which they are employed. The
House recedes.
Amendment No. 3: Section 6 of the House bill required that each
performance-rating plan should provide for ratings of "excellent,"
"satisfactory," and "unsatisfactory." The Senate amendment sub-
stitutes for the rating of "excellent" the rating of "outstanding." The
conference committee believes that the Senate amendment will assist
in carrying out the intent of the bill to reserve the highest rating for
a, comparatively few employees whose performance deserves special
recognition. The House recedes.
Amendment No. 4: This is a clarifying amendment to make it
clear that when several boards of review are established in one depart-
ment, their jurisdiction will be on the same level and an appellant
would not have successive appeals from one board to another board.
The House recedes.
Amendment No. 5: Section 7 (c) of the House bill provided that,
in addition to the performance-rating appeal provided in subsection
(a), any officer or employee with a current performance rating of less
than "excellent" was entitled to appeal his rating to the appropriate
board of review established under section 7 (b). The Senate amend-
ment provides for such an appeal only if the current performance
rating is less than "satisfactory." The House recedes with an
amendment adding to section 7 (c) a new sentence which provides
that an officer or employee with a current performance rating of
"satisfactory" shall, if he so elects, have the right to an appeal under
subsection (b), in lieu of a review of his performance rating under
subsection (a).
