-nothing remained -for him to do after the Government Employees Salary,
Reform Act of 1964 was enacted into law on August 14, 1964.
?
Accordingly, the salary increases to the employees of your agency
? covered by the directive of October 8, 1962, are held to be effective
at the beginning of the first pay period on or after July 1 1964.
We. invite your attention, however, to the so-called Anti-Deficiency
? Act, 31 U.S.C. 665, since the, increases in compensation are not con-
sidered as falling within the exception (31 U.S.C. 665(e)(1)(A)), which -
permits apportionment to show a deficiency,?beeause the increases are
- not under a law which requires expenditures beyond administrative
.control. ?
