Subject; Summary of Executive Pay Legislation.
1. The salary of the Director of Central Intelligence was originally
fixed at $14, 000 by the National Security Act of 1947. It was raised to
$16, 000 in the Executive Pay Bill of 1949. The first statutory recogni-
tion of the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence was in the Executive
Pay Bill of 1949, which fixed his salary at $14, 000. This was raised
to $14, 800 in the Third Supplemental Appropriation Bill of 1952. This
is the same as the currently authorized level for the grade GS-18 through
out the Government.
2. The House passed an executive pay bill (H. R. 7619) during the
first session of the 84th Congress. It fixed the basic compensation o+'
the DCI at $22, 000, in the same category with the Secretaries of the
Army, Navy and Air Force and the Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. The compensation of the DDCI was fixed at $20, 000, along
with the Deputy Under Secretaries of State, the Under Secretaries of the
Services and the Deputy Directors of a number of other agencies. In this
bill, the compensation of the Assistant Secretaries of the Executive
Departments was fixed at $19, 000, or one slot below the DDCI. The House
bill also provided for a range of salaries at the GS- 17 level up to a
maximum of $14, 835, which is $215 above the present maximum for that
grade. The compensation for GS-18 was raised from $14, 800 to $16, 000.
3. A bill was introduced in the Senate (S. 2628). It was reported
out, however, at the end of the first session, and a vote was blocked by
Senator Morse and others on the ground that no hearings had been held.
The Senate bill fixed the compensation of the DCI at $22, 000, along with
the Secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force, the Director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Administrator of Veterans
Affairs. The compensation of the DDCI was fixed at $20, 000, along with
several other positions, including the Assistant Secretaries of the
Executive Departments. The pay range for GS-17 was the same as tie
range in the House bill, going up to a maximum of $14, 835. GS-18,
however, was raised from $14, 800 to a range of $16, 000 to $17, 500.
