This supplemental request would fund the additional costs associated
with the 1998 Compensation cost-of-living increase (a 2.1 percent
increase effective December 1, 1997) and an upward revision, based on
1997 actual data and enacted legislation, of the number of Compensation
beneficiaries for 1998, as well as an expected increase in average
payments to Compensation and Pension beneficiaries.
TITLE VI--GENERAL PROVISIONS
Departments, Agencies, and Corporations
(Supplemental now requested, existing legislation)
Section 642 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations
Act 1998 (Public Law 105-61; 111 Stat. 1318) is repealed.
[[Page 1160]]
This supplemental request would repeal Section 642 of the Treasury
and General Government Appropriations Act, 1998. That section provides
an ``open season'' from July 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998 during
which time Federal and Postal Service employees covered by the Civil
Service Retirement System (CSRS) could switch to the Federal Employees
Retirement System (FERS). Section 642 could raise the Federal
Government's employee retirement costs by billions of dollars over the
long term. It would force agencies to use limited discretionary dollars
for more retirement payments, diverting funds from pay raises and other
priorities. Section 642 could also slow Federal downsizing.
