OF:  United States Park Police and Executive..
     Protective Service - Salary Increase


Under section 501 of the District of Columbia

section 501 of the District of Columbia Police and Firemen's Salary
Act of 1958, Pub. L. No. 85-584, 72 Stat. 485, August 1, 1958, as
amended  by section 111 of the Act of August 29, 1972, Pub. L. No.
92-410, 86 Stat. 639 (hereinafter the 1958 Salary Act):

         Sec. 501. The rates of basic compensation
    of officers and members of the United States Park
    Police and the Executive Protective Service shall
    be the same as the rates of compensation, including
    longevity increases, provided in this Act, for of-
    ficers and members of the Metropolitan Police force
    in corresponding or similar classes.
