Subject: Proposed Legislation to Increase the
Salaries of the Director and Deputy Directors.
1. Attached herewith is a draft for internal discussion purposes
of proposed legislation to increase the salaries of the Director and
Deputy Directors.
2. For purposes of comparison, the Chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission receives $20, 000 a year, while the Commission
members receive $ 18, 000. The Deputy Secretary of Defense receives
$20, 000 a year, and departmental Under Secretaries receive $ 17, 500.
Assistant Secretaries receive $15,000 per year. By special Appropria-
tion rider, the Director of the FBI receives $20,000 per year, and
the Associate Director receives $17,500.
3. For further comparison, I am attaching herewith a copy of
Public Law 164 of the present Congress, the first paragraph of which
has liberalized the salary provisions for Division Directors of the
AEC. These Division Directors are subordinate not only to the Com-
mission, but also to the General Manager and Deputy General Manager
of the Commission, and correspond approximately to our Assistant
Directors. An AEC organization chart is included at pages 16-17 of
the attached hearings, which will make an interesting comparison.
4. Mr. Kirkpatrick has not reviewed this draft as he wished
to have your comments, but the broad proposals have been discussed
with the Director to a sufficient extent to warrant the trial draft which
is attached.
