COMMITTEE ORDER No. 31

Resolved, that effective April 1, 1977, until otherwise provided by order of the Committee on House Administration, each Member, Delegate or Resident Commissioner of the House of Representatives may compensate employees from the clerk-hire allowance at a per annum rate equivalent to, and not to exceed, the highest per annum rate of basic pay, as in effect from time to time, authorized for Level V of the Executive Schedule (5 U.S.C. 5316).

TO ACCOMPANY COMMITTEE ORDER NO. 31 This order will tie the maximum annual rate of compensation which may be paid from the clerk-hire allowance to the Executive Schedule, and will reestablish the previously existing parity between the maximum which may be paid a committee employee, and the maximum which may be paid a clerk-hire employee.

The Order raises the ceiling from its present level of $39,600 to $47,500, which corresponds to a Level V position, but provides no additional funds to the clerkhire allowance. If a Member desires to raise an employee's salary, it must be done from the existing allowance.

This action is clearly within the Committee's authority under 2 U.S.C. 57 as modified by H.Res. 1372 (P.L. 94-440) [2 U.S.C. 57a], because it sets a "term or condition" of an allowance, and does not fix or adjust the amount of an allowance, which action would require a vote on the House floor.

COMMITTEE ORDER No. 32

Resolved, That effective October 1, 1977, until otherwise provided by order of the Committee on House Administration, reimbursement for travel by members and employees by privately owned conveyance shall be at the rate of 17 cents per mile for automobile, 15 cents per mile for motorcycle, 36 cents per mile for aircraft, and that such reimbursement shall be made in accordance with rules and regulations established by the Committee on House Administration.

COMMITTEE ORDER No. 33

Resolved, That effective May 1, 1981, until otherwise provided by the Committee on House Administration, the Allowance for Official Expenses and the Inventory Allowance for District Office Equipment and Furnishings are adjusted as follows:

1. The base allowance for Official expenses is increased to $47,300.

2. The Travel Allowance is increased to a base of $4,950, and the multiplier in the formula used to compute the variable for travel is increased to a range of 18 to 30 cents.

3. The Inventory Allowance for District Office Equipment and Furnishing is increased to $35,000.

Expenditures of these funds shall be made in accordance with rules and regulations established by the Committee on House Administration.

COMMITTEE ORDER No. 34

Resolved, that effective January 3, 1983, until otherwise provided by the Committee on House Administration, the Allowance for Official Expenses is as follows: 1. The base allowance for Official Expenses is increased to $52,000.

2. The Travel Allowance is increased to a minimum of $5,700, and the multiplier in the formula used to compute the variable for travel is increased to a range of 21 to 35 cents.

Expenditures of these funds shall be made in accordance with rules and regulations established by the Committee on House Administration.
