 ADDRESS BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES,
 ELMER B. STAATS, BEFORE THE CONFERENCE ON PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT
 AT  THE MAXWELL SCHOOL OF CITIZENSHIP AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS    p COL
                    SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY
                    OCTOBER  26, 1972


         EXPERIENCE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN
     MAINTAINING EQUIVALENCY WITH PRIVATE SECTOR PAY
INTRODUCTION
     This conference could hardly be more timely.  The
spotlight today is very intense on the matters which this
conference is addressing--especially in respect to how to
make the public sector more responsive, more productive,
and more economical.  The signing of the Revenue Sharing
Bill last Friday adds a new significance to these matters,
since a sizable portion of the funds will undoubtedly be
used to employ new personnel and to adjust the compensation
of present State and local employees.
     Tonight I would like to address an aspect of this  sub-
ject with which I have been involved and concerned for well
over 20 years--namely, how to maintain fair and equitable
compensation levels for Federal white-collar employees.
During the past year, the national press has frequently  ex-
pressed concern with the level of Federal compensation.
For example:
     --A June 1971 article in Newsweek described current
       pay-setting processes as being stacked in  favor of
       the bureaucrat because they were based on  samples
p      taken mainly from large corporations where  salaries
       in general tend to be high.  The title of this ar-
       ticle was Civil Service:  Poor No More.
