Jensen rider aims to trim federal payroll by attrition
Rep. Ben Jensen of Iowa pushes a rider on funding bills to force a 10 percent annual payroll reduction by limiting hires to one in four vacancies. With about 300,000 vacancies yearly and a 2.5 million payroll, he argues the plan is fair and should stay until Republicans take over after Eisenhower’s inauguration. He acknowledges Democratic jobs would be affected and hopes agencies and the Budget Bureau implement cuts.
