------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the words ``the symbol for which is `GS' '' are 
added on authority of former section 1111 which is carried into section 
5104. So much as related to the Crafts, Protective, and Custodial 
Schedule is omitted as repealed effective not later than Sept. 11, 1955, 
by the Act of Sept. 1, 1954, Secs. 109(b), 110(b), 68 Stat. 1108.
    In subsection (b), reference to payment made on the basis of a 
``monthly'' rate is omitted since section 5504(b), former section 
944(c), no longer provides for converting a basic annual rate to a basic 
monthly rate.
    Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable 
and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.

                Initial Adjustment of 1967 Pay Increases

    Section 202(b) of Pub. L. 90-206 provided that: ``Except as provided 
in section 5303 of title 5, United States Code [section 5303 of this 
title], the rates of basic pay of officers and employees to whom the 
General Schedule set forth in the amendment made by subsection (a) of 
this section [amending this section] applies shall be initially adjusted 
as of the effective date of this section, as follows:
        ``(1) If the officer or employee is receiving basic pay 
    immediately prior to the effective date of this section [see 
    Effective Date of 1967 Amendment note under this section] at one of 
    the rates of a grade in the General Schedule, he shall receive a 
    rate of basic pay at the corresponding rate in effect on and after 
    such date.
        ``(2) If the officer or employee is receiving basic pay 
    immediately prior to the effective date of this section [see 
    Effective Date of 1967 Amendment note under this section] at a rate 
    between two rates of a grade in the General Schedule, he shall 
    receive a rate of basic pay at the higher of the two corresponding 
    rates in effect on and after such date.
        ``(3) If the officer or employee is receiving basic pay 
    immediately prior to the effective date of this section [see 
    Effective Date of 1967 Amendment note under this section] at a rate 
    in excess of the maximum rate for his grade, he shall receive (A) 
    the maximum rate for his grade in the new schedule, or (B) his 
    existing rate of basic pay increased by 4.5 per centum, rounded to 
    the next highest dollar, if such existing rate as so increased is 
    higher.
        ``(4) If the officer or employee, immediately prior to the 
    effective date of this section [see Effective Date of 1967 Amendment 
    note under this section], is receiving, pursuant to section 2(b)(4) 
    of the Federal Employees Salary Increase Act of 1955, an existing 
    aggregate rate of pay determined under section 208(b) of the Act of 
    September 1, 1954, (68 Stat. 1111), plus subsequent increases 
    authorized by law, he shall receive an aggregate rate of pay equal 
    to the sum of his existing aggregate rate of pay on the day 
    preceding the effective date of this section, plus the amount of 
    increase made by this section in the maximum rate of his grade, 
    until (i) he leaves his position, or (ii) he is entitled to receive 
    aggregate pay at a higher rate by reason of the operation of this 
    Act or any other provision of law; but, when such position becomes 
    vacant, the aggregate rate of pay of any subsequent appointee 
    thereto shall be fixed in accordance with applicable provisions of 
    law. Subject to clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding 
    sentence of this subparagraph, the amount of the increase provided 
    by this section shall be held and considered for the purposes of 
    section 208(b) of the Act of September 1, 1954, to constitute a part 
    of the existing rate of pay of the employee.
        ``(5) If the officer or employee, at any time during the period 
    beginning on the effective date of this section [see Effective Date 
    of 1967 Amendment note under this section], and ending on the date 
    of enactment of this title [Dec. 16, 1967], was promoted from one 
    grade under the General Schedule contained in section 5332(a) of 
    title 5, United States Code [subsec. (a) of this section] to another 
    such grade at a rate which is above the minimum rate thereof, his 
    rate of basic pay shall be adjusted retroactively from the effective 
    date of this section to the date on which he was so promoted, on the 
    basis of the rate which he was receiving during the period from such 
    effective date to the date of such promotion and, from the date of 
    such promotion, on the basis of the rate for that step of the 
    appropriate grade of the General Schedule contained in the amendment 
    made by subsection (a) of this section [amending the section] which 
    corresponds numerically to the step of the grade of the General 
    Schedule to which such officer or employee was promoted as in effect 
    (without regard to this title) at the time of such promotion.
        ``(6) If the officer or employee, at any time during the period 
    beginning on the effective date of this section and ending on the 
    date of enactment of this title [Dec. 16, 1967] became subject to 
    the General Schedule and his rate of basic pay was set above the 
    minimum rate of the grade on the basis of a previously earned rate 
    above such minimum rate, his rate of basic pay shall be adjusted 
    retroactively to the date on which he became subject to the General 
    Schedule on the basis of the rate of the appropriate grade of the 
    General Schedule contained in this section which corresponds 
    numerically to the rate of the grade at which the pay of such 
    officer or employee was set at the time he became subject to the 
    General Schedule.''

whose rates of pay are fixed and adjusted from time to time as nearly as 
is consistent with the public interest in accordance with prevailing 
rates or practices.
    ``(d) Nothing contained in this section shall affect the authority 
contained in any law pursuant to which rates of pay may be fixed by

    The rate of monthly cadet or midshipman pay authorized by section 
203(c) of title 37, United States Code, is $600.00.
    Note: As a result of the enactment of sections 602-604 of Public Law 
105-85 [see Tables for classification], the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998, the Secretary of Defense now has 
the authority to adjust the rates of basic allowances for subsistence 
and housing. Therefore, these allowances are no longer adjusted by the 
President in conjunction with the adjustment of basic pay for members of 
the uniformed services. Accordingly, the tables of allowances included 
in previous orders are not included here.
