WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. — (AP) — A bill hiking the pay of the President, Vice-President and Speaker of the House is headed for House action Monday, after overwhelming Senate approval.
Passage in the House seemed virtually certain. The measure cleared the Senate by a 68 to 9 margin last night, the first major action in the 81st Congress.
As passed by the Senate, the measure would increase the President's salary from $75,000 to $100,000 and would give him a new $50,000 tax-exempt expense allowance on top of his present $40,000 travel and maintenance allowance.
