6. Expand the demonstration project authority to allow projects on
employee benefits and leave.(28)

By fall 1994, the director of OPM should submit proposed legislation to
Congress removing the statutory limitations on employee benefits and
leave in the demonstration project authority.(29) Removal of these
limitations would authorize agencies to develop innovative projects that
meet the needs of their employees while addressing the tax and revenue
implications of flexible spending accounts, dependent care assistance
programs, and cafeteria benefit plans. Agencies could also choose to
combine sick leave and annual leave into a personal leave system or
provide short-term disability coverage.
