The salaries of the elected officers of the Senate\nhave not been increased since 1970 when the current $36,000 limita-\ntion on Senate salaries was imposed and during which time there have\nbeen four general govenment pay raises. Due to the cascading effect of\nthis limitation, the Senate has lost vital employees to downtown agen-\ncies, the House of Representatives, and to private enterprise. There\nare also several cases of the early retirement of valuable top Senate em-\nployees because of the more favorable cost-of-living adjustments for\nannuitants.
