Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That paragraph d of section 40 of the Bankruptcy Act (11 U.S.C. 68(d)) is amended to read as follows:
“d. (1) All referees in bankruptcy and employees in the offices of such referees shall be deemed to be officers and employees in the judicial branch of the United States Government within the meaning of the Civil Service Retirement Act.
“(2) Any referee who has retired or been retired under the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subdivision may, if called upon by a judge of a court of bankruptcy, perform such duties of a referee, conciliation commissioner, or special master under this Act, within the jurisdiction of the court, as he may be able and willing to undertake. The retired referee shall receive as compensation for his services, either full or part time, the salary authorized for the referee serving the territory to which the retired referee is assigned. However, the rate of compensation of a retired referee assigned to serve on a full-time basis in the territory of a part-time referee shall be the minimum rate established by the Judicial Conference of the United States for full-time service. Salaries authorized under this paragraph shall be subject to the provisions of section 13(b) of the Civil Service Retirement Act.”
