Mrs. LUCE. When did the Congress begin to discharge people from the pay roll of the Government?
Mr, TABER. The first one I remember was 21 years ago in the District of Columbia appropriation bill, brought in by the gentleman from Kentucky, Mr. Johnson.
Mrs, LUCE. In the history of our Government?
Mr. TABER. I cannot go beyond that.
Mr, DIRKSEN. I wanted to make it a little more personal by saying that I offered an amendment several years ago for the removal of David Lasse r from the pay roll, which was subsequently agreed to by the Senate, and signed by the President.
Mrs. LUCE. Is this a new phenomenon on the part of the American Congress ?
Mr. DIRKSEN. I don* t think so.
Mrs. LUCE. May I ask for the historical reference?
Mr. DIRKSEN. I am sorry that I do not have that at the moment.
I think there are a number of precedents for this kind of action.
