This provision which I am seeking to eliminate will be bad for employee morale and will disrupt the orderly and proper alinement of toplevel positions in these super grades. It is preferential legislation for the benefit of a few specific individuals. The report of the Committee on Appropriations on this bill is strangely silent on the explanation or justification for the provision placing the five Assistant Commissioners and one District Director of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in grade 16. This is another effort to legislate salaries for specific positions in the executive branch which unquestionably should be left to the usual procedures and processes which are provided by Congress in the Classification Act. The Congress. through its Post Office and Civil Service Committees of the Senate and the House. should be responsible for reviewing the need for and the use of toplevel positions on an overall governmentwide basis.
