    ``The basic hourly rate of pay'' is that part of a laborer's or 
mechanic's wages which the Secretary of Labor would have found and 
included in wage determinations prior to the 1964 amendments. The 
Secretary of Labor is required to continue to make a separate finding of 
this portion of the wage. In general, this portion of the wage is the 
cash payment made directly to the laborer or mechanic. It does not 
include fringe benefits.
