Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye: I feel my heart new opened. O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes
Σελίδα 18 - Cromwell, Cromwell, Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my king, he would not in mine age Have left me naked to mine enemies.
Σελίδα 17 - ... We are speaking, after all, of a proven generation, one that has brought this country through the most turbulent period in human history.

It is in no sense a cost for a given year calculated on the experience of that year.
Σελίδα 1 - ... last night, similarly have obligations that you want to fulfill on the Hill. So we hope to conclude our proceedings of this committee hearing as quickly as possible, but prior to taking the testimony that will be given to the committee, I would like to introduce the members of the committee that are here and ask them each to say a word or two, or as many words as they would like. On...
Σελίδα 8 - ... investigating Blue Cross-Blue Shield, finally resulting in the $7.35 per month reduction for those with self and family coverage. I hope that the $9.92 per month increase in Kaiser's coverage can be reduced in the near future. Why do we keep finding ourselves, as Federal retirees, the man in the middle? We in the National Association of Retired Federal Employees were pleased when Congress saw fit to increase social security benefits and railroad retirement benefits, but we were very disappointed...
Σελίδα 24 - ... sufficient amount, then I think that's important for us to know. Mr. RUDDOCK. I agree, Mr. Waldie. I would point out that unless the system is converted to one which intends to supply fully adequate retirement income to everyone who meets at least the minimum qualifications, then I think we are always going to have the people who have worked for the Federal Government who are entitled to an annuity based on short service or low salary but where the annuity does not provide adequate income for...

So it really is unique that we are holding the committee hearing and it is attest, I think, again, to the respect with which your organization is held by the leadership on the Hill in the House of Representatives and by this committee.
