I believe. and think I can fairly state. that my vote against this increase was entirely consistent with my votes in support of a real economy program. Furthermore.- I have long thought that the salaries of many Federal employees. especially those in the Customs. Immigration. and Postal Services. were inadequate. and therefore I did not feel that I could vote to increase my own salary at this time. even though I am willing to concede that present congressional salaries are probably also inadequate. As there is no other way. I am simply taking this means of recording my vote on. this proposition.
