SUBJECT:

Summary of Executive Pay Raises.
1. This memorandum is for information only.
2. The following recent Congressional actions relate to the Executive
pay problem:
a. P. L. 9, 84th Congress. This law is basically intended
to deal with the s cries of Federal judges, Congressmen and
Senators. By the t e it was enacted, it also included ary
raises for United Sta s Attorneys (from a range o M, 000 to
$15, 000 to a range of 12, 000 to $20, 000) and sistant United
States Attorneys (from range of $6, 000 to 2, 000 to "not
more than $15, 000"). It so raised the s ary of the Deputy
Attorney General from $1 500 to $21, 0; the Solicitor General
from $17, 500 to $20, 500; an each A istant Attorney General,
other than the Administrative ssi ant Attorney General from
$15, 000 to $20, 000. This latt endment was evidently tacked
on on the House side during the st stages of consideration of
the bill. We cannot get any i or ation as to how this was
accomplished.
b. S. 3481. This 1, which harassed the Senate unani-
mously and is now pen ng in the House,, ,raises the salaries of
Chiefs of Diplomatic issions and Forei "Service Officers.
The following are t salary raises by cate ories:

I am informed that this bill will undoubtedly pass the Congress
during this session. The only thing that has held it up thus far
was the consideration of the Mutual Security bill.
c. The Senate Appropriations Committee, in acting on
H. R. 9720 (Appropriations for Departments of Labor and HEW),
attached a rider which authorized the payment of a salary of
$20, 000 for not to exceed 60 scientific or professional personnel
for the Public Health Service. The present ceiling is $15, 000
for this type of personnel. This bill has passed the Senate,
although this provision may run into trouble in the House.
3. There are a number of other bills pending which would havc
the effect of substantially increasing the number of supergrade positirns
in the Government. One bill raises the Defense Department supergrades
to 285 in lieu of the present 236, and further provides that the 236 jails
will be released to the Civil Service Commission for reallocation to ether
agencies. This same bill raises from 45 to 275 the number of scientific
and professional slots in the Defense Department which may be paid at
salary levels up to $15, 000. An additional 50 of these slots are provided
for the National Security Agency. The National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics is raised from 10 to 60 slots in the same category. Ten such
slots are created for Interior and 35 for Commerce.
