        MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE:

             We appreciate the opportunity to appear before you today to

        discuss our supplemental request for fiscal year 1971.

             Our request for 1971 supplemental funds, ttalingo ,971,000,

        is for certain mandatory increases in our costs resulting from leg-

        islationenacted subsequent to the submission of our budget estimates

        for fiscal year 1971. The legislation to which I refer authorized

        two pay increases, an eight percent tax on travel by air, and an

        increase in the Government contributions for employee health benefits.

        The supplemental request to cover the cost of the tax on travel is

 4      included in Title I of the supplemental bill and our supplemental

        request for the pay increases and for the increase in the Govern-

        ment contribution for health benefits is included in Title II.

             The Federal Employee Salary Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-231)

/   ~   approved April 15, 1970, but retroactive to December 28, 1969, pro-

        vided a six percent increase in the General Schedule pay rates. This

  /     increases our cost for pay and related benefits in fiscal year 1971

        by a total of $3,892,000.
