CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -- HOUSE October 1
aid authorization bill to conference. I
did that for the simple purpose-and
without apology-of assuring debate that
would. direct attention of the Members
of the House to this shameful situation,
and to point out as a result of the Senate
substitute for the so-called Dirksen
amendment relating to legislative appor-
tionment we have now In this bill a pro-
vision which underwrites the June 15
Supreme Court decisions and under-
writes the authority of the courts to sus-
pend elections.
I think it is time to stop that kind of
legislating and go home.

"Retirement for Disability or Incapacity-
Medical Examination-Recovery
"Sac. 231. (a) Any participant who has five
years of service credit toward retirement un-
der the system, excluding military or naval
service that is credited in accordance with
provisions of section 251 or 252(a) (2). and
who betimes tothlly disabled or incapacitated
for useful and eMolent service by reason of
disease, Illness, or injury not due to vicious
habits, intemperance, or willful misconduct
on his part, shall, upon his own application
,or upon order of the Director, be retired on
an annuity computed as prescribed in section
221. If the disabled or incapacitated par-
ticipant is under sixty and has less than
twenty years of service credit toward his
retirement under the system at the time he
is retired, his annuity shall be computed on
the assumption that he has had twenty
years of service, but the additional service
credit that may accrue to a participant under
this provision shall in no case exceed the
difference between his age at the time of
retirement and age sixty, but this provision
shall not increase the annuity of any sur-
vivor.
"(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.
If the Director determines on the basis .of
the advice of one or more duly qualified
physicians or surgeons conducting such
examinations that an annuitant has re-
covered to the extent that he can return to
duty, the annuitant may apply for reinstate-
ment or reappointment in the Agency within
one year from the date his recovery is deter-
mined. Upon application the Director may
reinstate any such recovered disability an-
nuitant In the grade In which he was serv-
ing at time of retirement, or the Director
may, taking into consideration the age,
qualifications, and experience of such annul-
tant, and the present grade of his contem-
poraries in the Agency, appoint him to a
grade higher than the one In which he was
serving prior to retirement. Payment of the
annuity shall continue until a date six
months after the date of the examination
showing recovery or until the date of rein-
statement or reappointment in the Agency,
whichever is earlier. Fees for examinations
under this provision, together with reason-
able traveling and other expenses incurred in
order to submit to examination, shall be paid
out of the fund. If the annuitant fails to
submit to examination as required under
this section, payment of the annuity shall
be suspended until continuance of the disa-
bility is satisfactorily established.
?'(a) If a recovered dlsabilit annuitant
whose annuity to disoontintlst is for any
reason not reinstated or reappointed in the
Agency, he shall be considered to have been
separated within the meaning of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of section 284 as of the date
he was retired for disability and he shall,

ance with the provisions of section 233 if he
can qualify under its provisions.
"(d) No participant shall be entitled to
receive an annuity under this Act and com-
pensation for Injury or disability to himself
under the Federpl Employees' Compensation
Act of September 7, 1019, as amended (8
V.S.O. 781 at sell.). covering the same period
of time. This provision shall not bar the
right of any claimant to the greater benefit
conferred by either Act for Any part of the
same period of time. 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).
"(b) It a participant, who has at least five
years of service credit toward retirement
under the system, excluding military or
naval service that is credited in accordance
with the provisions of section 261 or 252(a)
(2), dies before separation or retirement

or a dependent widower, as defined, In sec-
tion 204, such widow or dependent widower
shall be entitled to an annuity equal to 56
per centum of the annuity computed In

pendent widower shall commence on the'

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

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
