I hope for all Defense wmployees' sakes that
NSPS is aborted, just as I hope DHS' proposed system is - just a note,
though - it is my understanding that a significant difference between
the two is that the Defense system will set aside a separate budget for
pay raises. DHS will not. Pay raises will be taken out of the budget
wherever they can be found. Since INS took the financial reins, DHS has
been chronically short of money. Agents have been told there is no
money for travel, car repairs, vests, anything - there's no question of
asking for improved technical equipment or anything like that. I have
been told myself that we can't get tapes of a drug transaction
translated for prosecution. I think pay raises for lowly non-management
types are over.
