Letters to The Gazette on Civil Service Retirement Proposals
A reader cites Jan. 17 Federal Employees News Digest noting proposed Social Security and Civil Service changes. Increase employee retirement contributions to 9 percent in 1984 and 11 percent in 1985, raise retirement age to 65 with 5 percent yearly reductions, and base annuities on a five year salary average. Critics urge safeguarding solvency without shifting to Social Security, while Rep. Ford denounces the plan as contempt for federal workers. Dewayne O. Titus addresses 7903 Wieneke Circle SW.
