handle is hein.gao/gaobaabfj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHING-4ON; D.C. 20348 July 15, 1975 B-101892 The Honorable David N. Henderson Chairman, Committee on Post Office - C I and Civil Service House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: On February 25, 1975, we issued a report to the Congress emphasizing the critical need for a better~s-ystem for adjusting top executive, legislative, and judicial salarieg This report pointed out that there has been no adjustment in such salaries since March 1969, and concluded that the provisions of the Federal Salary Act of 1967, which contemplated that salary adjustments for such positions would be made every four years, have failed. To date, no action has been taken on our recommendation that immediate legislation be enacted to reform the salary adjustment process for top officials. We recommended that a new process should provide that salaries be adjusted annually on the basis of either the annual change in the cost-of-living index or the average percentage increase in General Schedule salaries and that these pay levels be periodically reviewed by an independent commission. Under the current quadrennial review and adjustment process, the next earliest possible adjustment could not occur until 1977. We believe that if adjustments are not made before then, the adverse effects on recruitment, retention, and incentive for advancement throughout the Federal service will continue to cause serious damage to the capability to manage Federal programs economically and effectively.
