The letter is a response from Congressman James R. Jones to Arthur Marion Smith regarding President Ford's proposed ceiling on federal pension and salary increases. Jones expresses his intention to work against the five percent ceiling on pension benefits, but is inclined to support a five percent increase ceiling on government employee salaries. Smith then responds, expressing his disagreement with the proposed limitations and arguing that retired and elderly citizens should not be limited to a five percent increase in benefits while costs are rising. Smith asks for Jones' support in fighting against the proposed limitations.
