Retirement

The House Post Office and Civil Service Committee plans to open hearings Tuesday on legislation to

This is a reversal of optimism they were voicing a week ago.

Under the rider, employees couldn’t be paid for leave earned in “any” calendar year, but unused by the next June 30. This would prevent employees from ascumulating annual leave. Two compromises proposed: ONE—Limit accumulations to 30 days and give employees with larger leave savings a specified number of years, probably three, to work down to that level. Revise the House rider to permit] future accumulations not to exceed 30 days... TWO—Retain the present 60day limit for most workers, but restrict the rate at which ac-| cumulations could be increased. Employees would be permitted to|
