Reagan urges pay hike for federal workers
Reagan abandons a pay freeze and proposes a 3.5 percent raise for 1.4 million white collar federal workers starting Jan. 1, far below the 21.5 percent parity level urged by a presidential panel. Congress had already approved about 4 percent, with White House saying 3.5 percent is modest and would cost about $1 billion more, while a 21.5 percent raise would cost $8.5 billion.
