Letter: Dexter Sutterfield to Hon. James Jones expressing concern about the proposed 5% pay increase for federal employees. Sutterfield argues that federal workers do not have expense accounts like Congress and depend on their salaries for their livelihood. He points out that the private sector has given larger pay increases in recent years and urges Jones to overturn President Ford's proposal. Jones responds, thanking Sutterfield for his letter and informing him that a resolution disapproving the President's recommendation has been favorably reported by the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee. If passed, the pay increase for federal employees will be 8.66% instead of 5%. Jones appreciates Sutterfield's concern and assures him of his willingness to be of service as his Representative.
