      ,BENEFITS FOR AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND OTHER



MADAM CHAIRWOMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE:

     WE ARE HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS OUR JUNE 1978, REPORT

ENTITLED SECOND CAREER TRAINING FOR AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS

SHOULD BE DISCONTINUED (CED-78-131) AND TO PROVIDE OUR COM-

MENTS ON SEVERAL BILLS BEFORE THIS SUBCOMMITTEE WHICH WOULD

AMEND PUBLIC LAW 92-297.

     PUBLIC LAW 92-297 ESTABLISHED A SECOND CAREER PROGRAM

TO HELP AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS EMPLOYED BY THE FEDERAL

AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) TO BEGIN A NEW CAREER ONCE

THEY ARE REMOVED FROM DUTY FOR MEDICAL REASONS OR LOSS OF

TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY. THIS PROGRAM WAS ENACTED BECAUSE

OF THE LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXISTED OUTSIDE THE

GOVERNMENT FOR THE SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE

OF CONTROLLERS. THIS LAW ALSO MADE CONTROLLERS ELIGIBLE

FOR RETIREMENT EARLIER THAN MOST OTHER FEDERAL EMPLOYEES.
