Pay Hikes Possible For Top U S Officials
Washington AP reports an executive-salary commission may push big boosts for the vice president, cabinet leaders, members of Congress, and Supreme Court justices. Proposed changes include the vice president from 43000 to 60000 and the Chief Justice from 40000 to 60000, with other increases for associates, cabinet members, and legislators. The panel’s proposal awaits action though a postal rate and pay bill sets up the commission to propose raises to take effect in early 1969 unless rejected by both houses.
