Wydler Bill To Cut Salaries 10%
Congressman John W. Wydler
(R-Nassau County) announced
today that he will introduce
a bill in the House of Repre-sentatives,
when the con-gressional
recess ends on
September 9, to provide for
a temporary reduction in the
salaries of members of Con-gress
and all officials paid
under the Executive Salaries
Schedule.
The Wydler biU in effect
would cut by 10% the salaries
of all members of the Congress
and of the Executive Branch
of government who are in
non-civil service positions.
"In my judgment the problem
of inflation is a most serious
one affecting every taxpayer
and consumer in our nation,"
Wydler said, "and I think it
would be helpful if the Con-gress
were to set an example
in the fight against inflation
by reducing its own salaries
and those of officials in the
Executive Branch of govern-ment."
Congressman Wydler said that
although the sum saved would
not be enormous the psycho-logical
impact of such a step
would be great. The people
of the country would realize
that the Congress was trying
to economize and to set an
example for the general
good "bf the nation. This step
could restore public confidence
in the Congress in particular
and in the government in gen-eral,
and would set an example
for others in private industry
and in State and local govern-ments
to follow.
"I believe we in Congress
made a great mistake in in-creasing
our salaries at the
start of this session," Wydler
continued. "I opposed the pro-posal
on the grounds not that
the members did not deserve
the salary increase, but rather
that the example set would
be pointed to by others as
a reason for continuous wage
demands.
"The fight against inflation
is waged not only with economic
remedies, but with the state
of mind of the people in the
country. No step would have
a more salutary effect than
the passage of a bill such as
I will introduce when Con-gress
reconvenes," Wydler con-cluded.

He added: "This year's county

After three years of devoted efforts, Lynbrook Village officials signed the first State aided middle-income
housing project for the aging to be built in Nassau County. An announcement by Governor
Rockefeller that the $2,935,000 will be set aside for mortgage funds has permitted the Nathan Hale
Housing Company, Inc., to continue with the planning, construction and development of the 126-unit
project.
The project has materialized under the auspices of Lynbrook's Mayor, Francis X. Becker, (right),
Anthony Zarba, President of the Nathan Hale project, (left), and Supreme Court Justice Mario Pittoni.
Mayor Becker predicted that all of the 16% of the senior citizens in his community will be able to find
lower income housing if "we continue to take the initiative in sponsoring housing programs to meet the
needs of our citizens. Now we can begin to work on a second similar project."
