• James R. Jones Collection | James R. Jones Legislative Series, 1968-1986 | Post Office and Civil Service, January-September, 1975 | Letter: Congressman James R. Jones in response to a letter from Mr. Orsbon Hawkins, Sr., regarding the President's proposed 5% ceiling on pension and salary increases for Federal employees and retirees. Jones does not expect Congress to permit the lower ceiling on pension benefits, but there is support for the salary limitation. Jones appreciates Hawkins' comments and will keep them in mind as the matter is decided by the House of Representatives. Hawkins had urged Jones to oppose the 5% ceiling and support legislation giving Postal and Federal employees the right to select their own representatives in grievances., 1975-02-18 - 1975-02-18
