First are those engaged by the Federal Government under contracts for personal services who are specially exempt from normal civil service appointment. Second are employees of contractors. and third are employees of certain welfare and recreational facilities. The bill includes a provision authorizing the Secretary of Labor to waive the application of the industrial accident portion of this bill as it applies to noncitizens so as to conform with local custom and standards concerning workmens compensation. Thus. where local foreign law provides that loss of an arm should be compensated for by the payment of two camels. this standard would be followed by contractors in their dealings with foreign personnel. The standards and procedure for all other personnel would be provided for under the Longshoremens and Harbor Workers Compensation Act.
