What does Executive Order 13635 do?

EO 13635 set 2013 pay schedules for the Executive Schedule, General Schedule, Foreign Service, administrative law judges, senior executives and the uniformed services. Much of the civilian adjustment was delayed until March 27, 2013. Congress then canceled the planned increase in Public Law 113-6, and EO 13641 issued replacement schedules and expressly superseded EO 13635.
