The CHAIRMAN. The committee will come to order. Before we proceed today I would like to announce that I have received a telephone call from Senator Randolph expressing his regrets for not being able to attend this morning's session. Senator Randolph informs me that he is attending funeral services in his hometown for a close friend. I know that he is keenly interested in this legislation and I can assure all present that he will follow today's proceedings with interest. These hearings are convened after due notice so that the committee may take testimony on Federal pay-adjustment legislation. The Salary Reform Act of 1962 expressed congressional endorsement of the comparability principle to assure equity for the Federal employee with his equals throughout the national economy. The act authorized the President to obtain an annual report of the relationship of Federal salaries to those of private enterprise and to submit to the Congress any adjustments which he thinks are indicated. The President's recommended adjustments have been introduced and other pay proposals are also being considered. This is an important and complex subject which, I am sure, these hearings will help clarify. I am glad to welcome here this morning the Honorable John W. Macy, Jr., chairman of the U.S. Civil Service Commission, whose testimony will, I am sure, be of great help to the committee. Mr. Macy, will you please proceed? STATEMENT OF HON. JOHN W. MACY, JR., CHAIRMAN, U.S. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION; ACCOMPANIED BY O. GLENN STAHL, DIRECTOR, BUREAU OF PROGRAMS AND STANDARDS Mr. MACY. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman and members of the committee. I am accompanied today in offering my testimony on 1 |
