  sued by the Federal Labor Relations Authority, O-PS-3
  and O-PS-6,,2 FLRA No. 31, December 19, 1979, which
  states that anYiemployee who is on official time under
  the provisions of 5 U.S.C. § 7131rwhile representing
  an exclusive representative in the negotiation of a
  collective bargaining agreement is entitled to pay-
