Reading Room Document

Pay scale of members of the United States Board of Parole

The document discusses the lack of significant changes in the duties, functions, and workload of the Board, which would warrant presidential relief. It also highlights the potential issues that could arise if action is taken to upgrade the position of Board members, including creating an inequitable pay situation. The document concludes by recommending that any proposal for a statutory change in the Board's pay rate should be submitted to the Bureau of the Budget for advice on its relationship to the President's program. The questions presented for review include whether there have been any significant changes in the Board's duties or workload, and what potential issues could arise from upgrading the position of Board members.
