I will say to the Senator from Alabama that there are three classifications of salaries. One is the salaries of the Post Office employees. customs officers. immigration officers. school teachers. and other groups that are fixed within limitations by special pay statutes. They would be exempted because they are fixed charges. The next group is the salaries of a relatively few emergency agencies that are fixed within limitations by Executive order. and can be changed whenever the President chooses to change them. We are now giving the President no more authority with respect to that group than he already has.
