Honorable Olin D. Johnston
Chairman
Committee on Post Office & Civil Service
United States Senate
Washington Z5, D. C.
Thank you for your letter of 12 January 1956, request-
ing the comments of this Agency on pending executive pay
Ic gtslation,
It is most important that action be taken to raise
executive pay scales in order to assist the Government in
the recruitment and continuing employment of highly corn.
petent individuals for key posts.
I believe that the provisions of S. 26ZS, now before
your Committee, represent a substantial advance over
existing legislation governing the rates of compensation
for executive positions within the Government.
Allen W. Dulls s
Director
