Mr. Speaker. last week I Introduced H. R. 5798 to amend Public Law 410. 78th Congress. with regard to the compensation of employees of the United States Public Health Service. Foreign Quarantine Division. This bill would do two things. First. it would establish overtime provisions for quarantine officers as the same as those for Customs and Immigration Service. Secondly. with some exceptions. it would require that in cases of overtime performed at the request of private shipping company representatives. the requesting party reimburse the United States for the cost. In the 83d Congress. H. R. 6253. a somewhat similar bill introduced by me. was passed unanimously by both Houses but the President withheld his approval and thus it did not become law.
