The Commission is composed of nine members, three appointed by the President, two by the President of the Senate, two by the Speaker of the House, and two by the Chief Justice of the United States. The Commission is required to conduct quadrennial reviews of, and recommend rates of pay for, Members of Congress, the principal officials of the legislative branch, the judiciary, and the principal officials of the executive branch. The quadrennial reviews and recommendations are to be submitted to the President, who in turn, is required to include in his next budget to the Congress, his recommendations as to the exact rates of pay he deems advisable. Prior to the enactment of Public Law 95-19, approved April 12, 1977, the President's recommendations became effective automatically, unless within approximately 30 days after the recommendations were submitted to the Congress, the Congress enacted a statute establishing different rates of pay, or one of the Houses of Congress disapproved all or any part of the recommendations. Title IV of Public Law 95-19, the Federal Salary Act Amendments of 1977, amended section 225 to require that recommendations transmitted by the President pursuant to that section be approved within 60 days by a majority vote of both Houses in order to become effective. FISCAL YEAR 1969 The Commission's study and recommendations for fiscal year 1969 were submitted to the President in December 1968, and the President, in turn, submitted his recommendations to the Congress with his budget message in January 1969 (see H. Doc. No. 91-51). On February 4, 1969, the Senate, by a vote of 34-47, defeated a resolution (S. Res. 82) proposing to disapprove the President's recommendations. On February 5, 1969, the House Rules Committee voted to table a resolution (H. Res. 142) providing for the adoption of a resolution (H.Res. 133) which was before the Post Office and Civil Service Committee, proposing to disapprove the President's recommendations. Since neither House adopted a resolution of disapproval, the President's recommendations became effective in February and March 1969, as applicable for each group of officials after the end of the 30-day period following the submission of the President's recommendations. FISCAL YEAR 1973 The appointment of the members to the Commission for fiscal year 1973 was not completed until December 11, 1972, too late for the Commission to conclude a review and formulate a report to the President in time for him to include recommendations in his budget presentation in January 1973. The Commission's report was submitted to the President late in June 1973, and the President's recommendations were submitted to the Congress with the budget on February 4, 1974 (see p. 1030, Appendix to Fiscal Year 1975 Budget). The President's recommendations were vetoed upon adoption of Senate Resolution 293 on March 6, 1974, by a vote of 71 to 26. House Resolution 807, disapproving the President's recommendations was reported to the House on March 4, 1974 (H. Rept. 93-870) but was not acted on by the House. FISCAL YEAR 1977 The Commission's study and recommendations for fiscal year 1977 were submitted to the President on December 2, 1976, and the President, in turn, submitted his recommedations to the Congress with his budget message on January 17, 1977 (see H. Doc. No. 9547). On February 1, 1977, the Senate, by a vote of 56-42, tabled an amendment to a resolution (S. Res. 4) which proposed to disapprove the President's recommendations. On February 16, 1977, a special Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Presidential Pay Recommendations of the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service of the House met and voted: (1) by a record vote of 1-4, not to approve for full committee consideration House Resolution 201 (disapproving all of the President's recommendations); (2) by a voice vote, not to report House Resolution 152 (disapproving Members' pay increases only); (3) by a record vote of 1-4, not to report House Resolution 201, without recommendation, to the full committee; and (4) by a voice vote, to table all House Resolutions similar to House Resolution 201 and House Resolution 152. Since neither House adopted a resolution of disapproval, the President's recommendations became effective in February and March 1977, as applicable for each group of officials after the end of the 30-day period following the submission of the President's recommendations. FISCAL YEAR 1981 The Commission's study and recommendations, for fiscal year 1981 were submitted to the President in December 1980, and the President, in turn, submitted his recommendations to the Congress on January 9, 1981 (H. Doc. No. 97-6). On March 12, 1981, the House, by voice vote, agreed to House Resolution 109, expressing the sense of the House with respect to the pay recommendations of the President. The sense of the House was that the recommendations should not be approved. The same day, the Senate considered |
