He added that Kuchel's support of the uniform allowance act, payment of bond premiums and greatly liberalized retirement features of Public Law 854 "will continue to benefit public employees and their families in the months and years ahead."

The construction union heads pointed out that Kuchel's fight on behalf of the prevailing wages provision of the highway bill has "immeasurably enhanced the welfare of those craftsmen who shall work for wages in this program, their families and their communities."
