The attached. bill introduced by Mr. Holifield (H.R. 7034)
incorporates several principal features of interest to the Agency as an
employer. One of these is provision for employer contribution to medical
and hospitalization 1faurance. Another is provision for payroll deduction

the possibility of supporting separately the
provision ft 'oll deductions.
