I would like to explain my reasons for both actions. In the past several Congresses. quite a procession of bills have left our committee and come to the floorseveral of which have been enactedthat have nibbled away in bits and pieces at the Civil Service Retirement Act. granting special benefits to selected classes of employees. Hazardousduty retirement. special benefits for firefighters. customs and immigration inspectors. and air traffic controllers. and the bill to set up minimum annuities are just a few. These bills have all been costly. with a profound effect both on normal costs and unfunded liabilities. Yet they have been of benefit to only the specific. selected groups involved.
