Service Departments. The Senate bill is identical with the House
on GS-17 and GS-18 positions. The earlier Senate bill had provided
for a scale on GS-18 ranging from $16, 000 to $17, 500. The
executive pay provisions of the Senate bill take effect at the beginning
of the first pay period after 30 June 1956.
3. The Senate bill, in addition to executive pay, provict,es
a series of miscellaneous authorizations and includes an entirfly
new Retirement bill. This bill comes much nearer to the retireme_t
provisions which the Administration has been willing to support. It
is similar to a bill which has been reported in the House, but not yut
voted upon. We do not yet know whether the Administration is will-
ing to accept these new retirement bills, but I am told that a
Presidential veto is unlikely.
