Federal Times: The Defense Department would be prohibited from furloughing the 170,000 employees whose salaries are paid for by fees and other charges, under legislation introduced May 19.
Reps. Derek Kilmer, D-Wash., and Tom Cole, R-Okla., are pushing the legislation as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2015 passed by the House Armed Services Committee May 8 to protect the employees from future furloughs as a result of across-the-board budget cuts.
