"(b) In each case, the participant shall be given a medical examination by one or more duly qualified physicians or surgeons desig- nated by the Director to conduct examina- tions, and disability shall be determined by the Director on the basis of the advice of such physicians or surgeons. Unless the dis- ability Is permanent, like examinations shall be made annually until the annuitant has reached the statutory mandatory retirement ago for his grade as provided in section 235.

Neither this provision nor any provision of the said Act of Sep- tember 7, 1916, as Amended, shall. be so con- strued as to deny the right of any participant to receive An annuity under this Act by reason of his own services and to receive concurrently any payment under such Act of September 7. 1016. as amended, by reason of the death of any other person. "(e) Nothwithetanding any provision of law to the contrary, the right of any person entitled to an annuity under this Act shall not be affected because such person has re- calved an award of compensation in a lump sum under section 14 of the Federal Em- ployees' Compensation Act of September 7, 1016. as amended (5 U.S.C. 764), except that where such annuity is payable on account of the same disability for which compensation under such section has been paid, so much of such compensation as has been paid for any period extended beyond the data such annuity becomes effective, as determined by the Secretary of Labor, shall be refunded to the Department of Labor, to be paid into the Federal employees' compensation fund. Be- fore, such person shall receive such annuity he shall (1) refund to the Department of Labor the amount representing such com- muted payments for such extended period, or (2) authorize the deduction of such amount from the Annuity payable to him under this Act, which amount shall be trans- mitted to such Department for reimburse- ment to such fund. Deductions from such annuity may be made from accrued and Accruing payments, or may be prorated against and paid from accruing payments in such manner as the Secretary of Labor shall determine, whenever he finds that the fi- nancial circumstances of the annuitant are such as to warrant such deferred refunding. "Death in Service "SEc. 232. (a) In case a participant dies and no claim for annuity is payable under the provisions of this Act, his contributions to the fund, with Interest at the rates pro- scribed in sections 241(a) and 261(a), shall be paid in the order of precedence shown in section 241(b).

Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from South Carolina? There was no objection. The Senate amendment was con- curred in. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. AMENDING SECTION 5 OF THE EM- PLOYMENT ACT OF 1946 Mr. BOLLING. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent for the immediate consideration of the bill (S. 3174) to amend section 5 of the Employment Act of 1046. The Clerk read the title of the bill. The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Mis- souri? There was no objection. The Clerk read the bill, as follows: lIe it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That sec- tion 5'(e) of the Employment Act of 1940, as amended (15 U.B.O. 1024: 60 Stat. 23, Pub- lic Law 804, Seventy-ninth Congress) is amer}ded t* read as follows: (a) To noble the joint committee to exercise its, powers, functions, and duties under this Act, there are authorized to be appropriated for each fiscal year such sums as may be necessary, to be disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate on vouchers signed by the chairman or vice chairman." The bill was ordered to be read a third time, was read the third time, and passed, and a motion to reconsider was laid on the table, recall aid bill. There are two provisions in "(a) (1) Any judge- it which are quite controversial. One (2) to strike out in the title of the bill Is a Senate amendment with respect to "amend section 11 of the Act of April L 1942, the civil service status of employees of in order to the foreign aid agency. The other is the Mr. Mch?LLAN. Mr. Speaker, the so-called Dirksen amendment, which purpose of this concurrent resolution is was adopted in the other body, which I to direct the Clerk of the House to make a technical amendment in enrolling the bill H.R. 5871: To amend section 11 of the act of April 1, 1942, in order to modify the retirement benefits of the judges of the District of Co- lumbia Court of General Sessions, the Dis- trict of Columbia Court of Appeals, and the Juvenile Court of the District of Columbia, and for other purposes. N. Two days ago, the House concurred In the Senate amendments to H.R. 5871, but a technical error remains therein and should be corrected before the bill goes to the President. Briefly, H.R. 5871 passed the House originally on October 14, 1963, and was sent to the other body. Subsequently, namely, on December 23, 1963, Public Law 88-241 was approved which recodi-, fled certain sections of the District of Columbia code, including the section per- taining to the retirement of judger}, which H.R. 5871 amends. Properly thereafter, the other body, when considering H.R. 5871, should have amended the same to refer to the codified section, and that is what the resolution now directs the Clerk of the House to correct. The concurrent resolution Involves no change whatever 'in substance. The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from South Carolina? There was no objection. The concurrent resolution was agreed to. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ON H.R. 11380, TO AMEND FUR- THER THE FOREIGN ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1061. Mr. SMITH of Virginia. Mr. Speaker. by direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 895 and ask for its Immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as fol- lows: Resolved, That Immediately upon the adoption of this resolution the bill (H.R. 11380) to amend further the Foreign Assist- ance Act of 1961, as amended, and fot'other purposes, with the Senate amendments thereto, be, and' the same-hereby is, taken from the Speaker's table, to the end that the Senate amendments be, and the Barrie arc hereby, disagreed to and that the confer- once requested by the Senate on the dis- Let me say that I understood there would be a motion to instruct the con- ferees with respect to the first item which I have mentioned. We had before the Rules Committee yesterday the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, who gave us very definite as- surances that the House conferees would not agree to that in conference, and that if it were insisted upon by the Senate conferees the :House conferees would bring the matter back to the House so that the House could have a vote and either reaffirms or not reaffirms previ- ous action on this matter. I believe it was rejected by the House when the bill was passed. I hope this meets with the approval of the gentleman who is going to offer the motion to instruct. It would seem to me that would accomplish the object which the gentleman desires to accomplish, of giving the House the opportunity to vote upon the matter. We have a very posi- tive understanding with the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs that that will be done and that the House will be given the opport.unity,' to vote if the conferees cannot strike it out in the con- ference. Mr. JOHANSEN. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. SMITH of Virginia. I yield to the gentleman from Michigan. Mr. JOHANSEN. I wish to comment that I appreciate the assurance the gen- tleman makes-with respect to the substi- tute for the Dirksen amendment and that it conforms to my understanding and meets the purpose I had in objecting yesterday. Mr. SMITH of Virginia. The other matter is the Dirksen amendment. We have had our debates about that in the House, on the so-called Tuck bill. The House has expressed itself by a very sub- stantial majority in favor of the Tuck bill, which would do something about the reapportionment decision of the Supreme Court. The Dirksen amendment, let me say to you, in my judgment and in the judg- ment of all of those to whom I have talked, has certainly no binding effect. If it had any binding effect, the tall end of the sentence which gives It its effect would repeal that. However, I am chiefly concerned about the Dirksen amendment because of the concluding MODIFYING RETIREMENT EMENT BENE- FITS OF DISTRICT OF 'COLUMBIA JUDGES Mr. McMILLAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous eonsgnt for the immediate .consideration of the concurrent resolu- tion, house Concurrent Resolution 370. The Clerk read the concurrent resolu- tion as follows: Resolved by the Hoarse of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That the Clerk of the ltouso of Representatives in the enroll- ment of the bill (H.R. 5871) to amend sec- tion 11 of the Act of April 1. 1042, in order to modify the retirement benefits of the judges of the District of Columbia Court of General Sessions, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, and the Juvenile Court of the District of Columbia, and for other pur- poses, is authorized and directed- (1) to strike out all after the enacting clause down through and including "Sw. 11 (a) (1) Any Judge" and Insert In lieu thereof agreeing votes of the two Houses be, and the Which is found on page 27 of the amended same is hereby agreed to. foreign aid bill, as it comes back to the Mr. SMITH of Virginia. -Mr. Speak- House.
