STATEMENT OF THE MANAGERS ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE The managers on the part of the House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the two numbered amendments of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 15387) to amend title 39, United States Code, to provide for disciplinary action against employees in the postal field service who assault other employees in such service in the performance of official duties, and for other purposes, submit the following statement in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the conferees and recommended in the accompanying conference report: Amendment No. 1: The House bill provided for disciplinary action against any postal employee who assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates, or interferes with any other postal employee while performing official duties. Senate amendment No. 1 limits this disciplinary authority to cases of assault only. The House recedes from its disagreement to Senate amendment No. 1 with an amendment which makes a technical and clarifying change in language; and the Senate agrees to the same. Amendment No. 2: Senate amendment No. 2 adds a section 3 to the House bill which provides, effective on the date of enactment, that employees in the postal field service (other than employees in regional offices) and employees of the Bureau of Research and Engineering of the Post Office Department, shall be exempted from the limitation on the number of civilian employees prescribed by section 201 of the Revenue and Expenditure Control Act of 1968, Public Law 90-364. The new section 3 also excludes such exempted employees from being taken into account in applying the employee ceiling prescribed by section 201, Public Law 90-364. The House bill contained no such provision. The House recedes. EXPLANATION OF CONFERENCE AGREEMENT REGARDING POSTAL SERVICE PERSONNEL CEILING Under the conference agreement, the employment ceiling, insofar as the Post Office Department is concerned, will not apply to (1) The Bureau of Research and Engineering; and (2) The postal field service (other than employees in the regional offices). The conference agreement does not exempt the Washington headquarters office (other than the Bureau of Research and Engineering) from the personnel ceiling. It does not exempt any part of the Post Office Department appropriated funds from the budget_expenditure reductions required by section 202 or 203 of Public Law 90-364. (2) |
