            By Mr. GINGREY of Georgia:
        H.R. 108.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Article I, Section 6, Clause 1 of the Constitution states 
     ``The Senators and Representatives shall receive a 
     Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, 
     and paid out of the Treasury of the United States.''
       The 27th Amendment of the Constitution states ``No law, 
     varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and 
     Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of 
     Representatives shall have intervened.''
