I~umber Of Federal Employees
Continues To Rise
On September 20, 1966, Presi.
dent Johnson issued a "freeze
order" on civilian employment
by the U. S. Government. Un-
der that order it was indicated
that the Administration was
rolling the Government's civil-
ian payroll back to the level of
July 1966.
However, instead of holding
employment at the July leve ,
the Administration has actual-
. ly increased the number d
Government employees by a
total of 108,910 since the date
of the "freeze order." 1 29
In a statement on Apri ,
1967, Hen. George Mahen (D-
'rex.), Chairman of the Joint
Committee on Reduction of
Nonessential Federal Expendl-
tures, released the latest fig-
ures on civilian employment
reported by executive agencies
of the Federal Government, as
follows by Month. Employ-
ment, and Increase:
October 1066, 2,798,212, 24,-
488; November 1966, 2,634,940,
~6,726', December 1966, 2,842,-
528, 7,588; January 1967, 2,848,-
249, 5,721; February 1987.
2,864,626, 16,377; March 1967,
2,882,634, 18,008.
This 108,910 increase since
the September executive order
comes on top of an earlier in-
crease in the civilian payroll
Of 35,077 employees during
July, August, and September
1966, This means that 144,587
civilian employees have been
added during fiscal year 1967,
in direct contradiction to the
terms of the Administration's
"freeze order."
Based on the estimate that
each new civilian employee
costs the Federal Government
It minimum of $6,000 per year,
,ha Federal Government is
now paying about $868 million
Sl~tlally to meet the payroll of
additional civilian employees
WhIGh the Administration itself
all recently as last September
