Panel Proposes Huge Fed Pay Hikes
A federal advisory panel chaired by James L. Ferguson urges immediate pay raises of 60 to 80 percent for Cabinet members, congressmen, judges, and agency heads. Cabinet salaries would rise from 88,800 to 160,000 and lawmakers from 77,400 to 235,000. Reagan's 200,000 salary remains unchanged. If approved, about 3,000 top officials would receive automatic raises unless both houses vote to overturn.
