  4.     CARPER AND THE CASH. When Congressmen cringed at a backlash
  5. against the $34,900 raise they voted themselves last November,
  6. Delaware Democrat Tom Carper suggested a solution. "The clerk
  7. of the House is happy to receive a personal check made payable
  8. to the U.S. Treasury," said Carper, who rebates pay increases
  9. above cost-of-living adjustments. The Capitol Hill newspaper
  10. Roll Call surveyed the 174 members who voted against the raise.
  11. Twelve said they will return it, 55 that they will keep it, and
  12. 11 that they will give it to charity. Sixty-nine were
  13. undecided; 27 were mum.
