I talked to Mr. Paul
Goulding, Administrative Aide to Senator Claiborne Pell D., R.I.), and
told him I had personally reviewed the file on The Colonel's
file had been carefully reviewed by our personnel people and had been
referred to appropriate Agency components. This extensive review did not
result in identification of a position at this time that would take advantage of
his offer to serve with the Agency. I also advised Mr. Goulding that BALPA
and OPRED limit the probability that the Agency will be able to utilize the
Colonel's services in the foreseeable future.

1. I I Met with Mr. Robert Michaels, House Appro-
priations Committee staff, in response to his call of yesterday afternoon
and provided limited comment on the Henry Taylor Washington Daily News
column of 10 December 1969 for his use in responding to questions by
Committee members. Mr. Michaels noted in passing that he will be
continuing with the Committee through the 31st of the month and will then
be going to private industry. He also indicated that although Mr. Ralph
Preston has been designated to head up the Defense Subcommittee staff
no mention has been made by the Chairman whether Mr. Preston or some
other individual will be succeeding Mr. Michaels in the CIA Subcommittee
staff position.
Met with Russ Blandford, House Armed_, Serv
Committee staff, and told him that I had rechecked the information provided
.E.Duse Appropriations Committee concerning Soviet and ChiCom aid to
North Vietnam. Those briefings were consistent with the information given
to him earlier in the week. Mr. Blandford thanked me for rechecking the
matter and indicated that apparently there had been a garble in the informa-
tion he had received which was attributed to House Appropriations Committee
and briefings provided that Committee by the Agency.
I briefed Mr. Blandford on the SS-11.
3. I delivered to the office of Represen-
tative Lee Hamilton (D., Ind.) a personal letter from the Director.

Personal Secretary to Senator Abraham A. Ribicoff D. Conn.), about
the Senator's request for information on Mrs. Cass
recalled that it had been necessary to cancel Mr. Maury's appointment
with Senator Ribicoff because of his father's illness and said he had been
completely tied up with the tax bill since then. I told Mrs. Cass that
we merely wanted to be sure that the Senator understood that we were
available at his convenience and wanted to be responsive to his request.
She thanked me and said she would call me.

Mr. Braswell said he had tried to get a decision on this from Senator Stennis
last night and was unsuccessful. He will try again this evening and will let
us know as soon as he has an answer. Mr. Braswell mentioned that the
situation was getting difficult since Senator Stennis is involved in appropri-
ation hearings and the Senate is having morning sessions this week.

5. Met with Chairman George Miller (D., Calif.),
House Science and Astronautics Committee, who told me that the press
of business will be such between now and the close of the session that he
is going to withhold scheduling of an Agency briefing until after January
10. Chairman Miller noted in passing that he is looking forward with great
anticipation to visiting the South Pole during the Christmas holidays.
I briefed the Chairman on a Soviet space failure.
6. Talked to Mr. John R. Blandford, Chief Counsel,
House Armed Services Committee, who advised that the figures he gave me
last week- n-Soviet and Chinese aid to North Vietnam should have read
1. 2 billion and 800 million respectively. These figures ostensibly were
given to the House Appropriations Committee by the Agency earlier in the
year. I advised Mr. Blandford that both the original figures he gave me
last week and the revised figures are incorrect but that I would recheck
the matter and be back in touch with him.
7. Met with Mr. Ralph Devlin, House
Post Office and Civil Service Committee, who advised that in hearings
last Friday on H. R. 15024 (a bill to provide a 5 per cent increase in
annuities based on involuntary separation from Civil Service between
1 November 1969 and 2 January 1970) the Committee Chairman and
Minority Leader indicated almost unalterable opposition to the bill.
I met later with the Bill Clerk of the Senate Post Office and Civil
Service Committee, Donna Yee, who advised that the Committee reported
H. R. 9233 yesterday to include an amendment providing for 5 per cent
increase in annuities payable for involuntary separation having a commencing
date after 1 November 1969 and before 2 January 1970. (Apparently no
hearing was held on this annuity increase before reporting the bill to the
Senate.) 25X1

SUBJECT: Meeting with John Blandford re Soviet and Chinese
Aid to North Vietnam
1. Met with Mr. John Blandford, Chief Counsel, House Armed
Services Committee, and in response to his earlier question told him
that we do not have any information on which to base a judgment whether
Soviet assistance or support for the U. S. position in the Paris Peace
Talks or American attempts toward negotiation settlement in Vietnam
will be forthcoming. We really can't read the Russians' purpose at this
time. As for aid provided North Vietnam, I indicated that we were not
able to verify the figures provided by him on Soviet and Chinese aid to
the North Vietnamese of 1.8 billion and 200 million respectively. I also
briefed him on the aid provided by the USSR, Communist China and
Eastern Europe for 1968 and for the period 1954 to 1968.
and 200 million had been utilized by the Appropriations Committee in
floor statements and was apparently provided by "the intelligence com-
munity. " He had no problem with the figures provided by us, but
appeared concerned by the disparity between the filaure*-u.sed by Appro-
2. M:r. Blandford indicated that the figures provided of 1.8 billion

a. Soviet oceanographic research;
b. Soviet SL-12 space booster;
c. Soviet SS-4 MRBM;
d. Soviet underground nuclear testing.
11.1 I Met with Representative Wendell
Wyatt (R., Oreg.) and gave him a copy of the Lambert Los Angeles Times
Green Beret item of 9 November. Representative Wyatt expressed his
appreciation for the paper and noted again that he had enjoyed visiting the
Agency and meeting with the Director.
12. Spoke with Robert Hull, Department
of State, concerning progress o the Foreign Service Retirement Act
amendments paralleling the Daniels/McGee bill and learned that the report
has not yet been written and most likely will not be considered by the full
committee until February or March of next year. (An interesting side effect
is that this delay enhances the retirement inducement aspects of the bill,
which also adopts the three-month cost-of-living formula which will be
applied against a Consumer Price Index base of 1968 and probably result
in a 9 percent or more annuity increase to those retiring following enactment.)
We also discussed the possible ramifications of the Hogan and Daniels
bills extending the recent 5 percent cost-of-living adjustment to near term 25X1
future annuities resulting from involuntary separation.

1. Met with Chairman Mendel Rivers after
the House Armed Services ommittee meeting and thanked him for the
expeditious approval given H. R. 1457 1, the Agency's retirement bill. The
Chairman accepted my expression of appreciation and noted that this clears
the bill for consideration by the House of Representatives. (See Memoran-
dum for the Record.)
2. Talked to Mr. Frank Slatinshek, Assis-
tant Chief Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, who told me that he
is filing the report on H. R. 14571 this afternoon. The bill will be placed on
the consent calendar. In keeping with the fact that our bill contains only
material authorized in the Daniels-McGee bill for civil service retirees,
the Committee does not anticipate problems in passage by the House of
Representatives. Mr. Slatinshek noted in the report (with regard to the
question of cost) that the Director of Central Intelligence had advised the
Committee that only minimal increase in cost will be involved in implementing
h a horit set forth in the act.

o accompany H. R.
The Committee on Armed Services, to whom was referred

STATEMENT ON H. R. 14571
The purpose of the bill is to bring the Central Intelligence Agency
Retirement Act of 1964 for Certain Employees, as amended, into
conformity with appropriate changes recently made in the Civil Service
Retirement Act, P. L. 91-93.
Specifically, the bill will increase benefits under the CIA Retire-
ment Act as follows:
1. Using high three instead of high five for computing
annuities ;
2. Adding accumulated sick leave in computation of annuity;
3. Adding 1 percent to cost-of-living increases of annuities;
4. Authorizing surviving spouse to remarry after age 60
without loss of annuity and restoration of annuity on dissolution
of remarriage before that age;
5. Upgrading survivorship benefits by increasing the fixed
annuity for children; establishing a minimum survivor annuity;
and reducing, in death in. service cases, the minimum length
of service requirement from five years to 18 months.
In addition, the bill increases Agency and participant contributions
to the fund from 6. 5 percent to 7 percent of basic salary.

EXPLANATION OF BILL BY SUBSECTIONS
Section 1 increases both the Agency's and the participant's contri-
butions to the Fund from six and one-half percent to seven percent of
basic salary.
Section 2(a) revises the formula for computing annuities by basing
"average basic salary" either on the highest three consecutive years
rather than the highest five consecutive years, or over a shorter period,
where applicable, to obtain the increased survivor protection afforded
by section 4.
Section 2(b) provides for retention of annuity following remarriage
under the conditions spelled out in section 2(d).
Section 2(c) increases the annuities of children of deceased
annuitants.
Section 2(d) permits payment of annuity to surviving spouse
upon remarriage occurring on or after age 60, and on or after 18 July
1966, and provides restoration of annuity terminated for remarriage
prior to attaining age sixty if remarriage is dissolved.

 Declassified in Part -Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/04/25: CIA-RDP71 B00364R000100150001-0
Section 2(e) authorizes the crediting. of accumulated sick leave
for annuity computation purposes.
Section 3 preserves for survivors of participants retired for
disability the additional service credit which may have been granted to
such retirees.
Section 4 increases survivorship protection in death in service
cases: by reducing the minimum length of service requirement from
five years to 18 months; by establishing a minimum survivor annuity;
and by incorporating the provisions in section 2 relating to remarriage.
Section 5(a) adds 1 percent to each cost-of-living adjustment
effected under the cost-of-living provision of the Act.
Section 5(b) assures that the new annuities for surviving children
will be adjusted in accordance with the cost-of-living provisions of the
Act.
Section 6 provides effective dates in phase with similar amend-
ments approved for the Civil Service retirement system.

The financing provision of the proposed amendments increases
Agency and participant contributions from 6. 5 to 7 percent, in consonance
with the comparable provision of P. L. 91-93. Under the CIA Retirement
Act the Director prepares the estimates of the annual appropriations
required to be made to the fund and causes actuarial valuations of the
fund to be made at intervals of five years, or oftener, if deemed necessary
by him. The Committee has been assured that if the amendments are
enacted future appropriation requests will include appropriate provision
to maintain the fund on a sound fiscal base.
Enactment into law of this measure will involve a total additional
cost for the first year in the approximate amount of $
Note: The amount would be approximately $135, 000 for FY 1970 and
$270, 000 for FY 1971. This cost is attributed to the increase in the
Agency's contribution rate by one-half percent of basic salary starting
January 1970. However, we recommend against including this paragraph
because the figure provided could form the basis for extrapolation of the
type of information protected from disclosure by P. L. 81-110, section 6.,

The Honorable John W. McCormack
Speaker of the House of Representatives
Washington, D. C. 20515
My dear Mr. Speaker:
This letter transmits for the consideration of the Congress a
proposed'draft bill to amend the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement
Act of 1964 for Certain Employees, as amended. The proposed bill
brings the CIA Retirement Act into consonance with certain provisions
of the Civil Service retirement system.
Public Law 91-93, approved October 20, 1969, made significant
improvements in the benefits of the Civil Service retirement system.
Contribution rates were increased also. The improvement in benefits
includes using "high three" instead of "high five" for computing annuities,
permitting accumulated sick leave to be added in the computation of
annuities, adding 1 percent to cost-of-living adjustment for annuitants,
making the remarriage provisions partially retroactive, and improving
survivor benefits.
A number of key features in the CIA Retirement Act, as passed in
1964, were adopted from provisions of law then applicable to Civil Service
retirees. These features included the provisions amended by P. L. 91-93.
The reasons for changing these benefits under the Civil Service
retirement system apply with equal force to the CIA system. This CIA
retirement system would be completely undermined if it did not keep
pace with the improved benefits and effective dates of P.'L. 91-93. On
the other hand, enactment of the proposed bill will assure that appropriate
provisions of the CIA retirement system remain in line with those of the
Civil Service system.

1st Session J No. 91-339
Mr. McGEE, from the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service,
submitted the following
The Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, to which was re-
ferred the bill (S. 2754) to amend subchapter III of chapter 83 of
title 5, United States Code, relating to civil service retirement, and
for other purposes, having considered the same, reports favorably
thereon without amendment and recommends that the bill do pass.
Summary of the Bill
Title I provides a permanent, solution to the financial problems of
the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund by authorizing annu-
al payments directly from the Treasury to the Fund equal to the "lost
interest" on the unfunded liability of the Fund created by the Govern-
ment's failure to contribute sufficient funds, the gradual increase in
liability caused by past increased retirement benefits, and salary in-
creases; and to transfer from the Treasury annually funds sufficient
to pay the cost of annuity payments based on military service.
Title I also provides that future benefit increases and the effect of
future salary increases will be paid for by amortizing the cost of such
benefits and increases in equal installments over a 30-year period. This
will authorize appropriations by thee Cong ress, not direct transfer of
money.
Title I also increases both employee and agency contributions from
61/2 percent of payroll to 7 percent of payroll, effective January 1, 1970.
Contributions by employees of the 'Congress are increased to 7i/2 per-
cent, and contributions by Members of Congress are increased to 8
percent.

Title I of S. 2754 provides a long-terns, permanent solution to the
problem of the unfunded liability of thet Civil Service Retirement and
Disability Fund.
Silica fts ctreation in 19211, the Retirement Fund hashad an unfunded
deficit. The actmtrial theory of the retirement -yN-tei is that the nor-
mal cost will be fully met if a percentage of paX, is withheld from the
eniploye&s salary, a percentage of payroll i contributed by each
agency and the total is invested at interest. This actuarial cleteriaaina
iiota takes into nx taunt. the age and longevity of the group, and a nor-
mal progression in salary throughout a career in the Federal service.
It. does not take into account extending retirement benefits to new
groups, improving retirement benefits, increases lit salary enacted by
Congress from time to time. the (iovernnient's failure to make pay-
ments in soma years, or the Government's failure, to pay the interest
on flip nuftuaded liability.
't'he resaalI is that the Fund has a liability which is not funded
tIiron _h agency and employee contrihutions.'All service performed
prior to August 1. 1920. for instance. 'was credited even though no
m'vinent. was made for such service. Increases in salary enacted by
("ongrc s increase the average salary base for annuity computation.
taut. emitributions are not made by either the employee or the agency
to pay for the cost which such increases make in the future annuity
when past service is credited at the new average salary rate. The Fund
;also loses the interest on the unfunded liability which~would have been
earned if payment had been made.
of the total liability of S7h billion now owed by the Fund (than is,
the present value of all payments promised for service already per-
formed). $57.7 billion was not funded as of June 30, 1969.
Ueceilits now exceed disbursem ent.s, and will continue to do so until
1975, Thereafter, however. anittuty payments will exceed income from
employee and agency contributions and earnings, and by I9fti7 the
liquid assets of time Ftutd will Abe depleted.
l f action to prevent depletion of the Fund is not taken at this
time, an annual appropriation will be necessary each year after 19i;7,
and the impact upon the budget will be significant. It. will also sub-

ject the payment of annuities to the procedures of budget requests
and appropriations.
In 1963, the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service considered
legislation to provide for a gradual increase in agency contributions
to the Fund to meet the interest on the unfunded liability by the year
1986. That legislation proposed a mandatory increase in agency con-
tribution from 61/2 percent to 171jz percent over a 22-year period to
meet the $1,574 million annual cost (in 1963) of lost interest on the
unfunded liability. Action on that legislation was postponed.
In 1967, the administration proposed that legislation be enacted to
authorize ,,L permanent indefinite appropriation for a transfer of funds
from the Treasury to the credit of the 'Civil Service Retirement and
Disability Fund, beginning at 10 percent of the lost interest and
increasing over a period of 10 years to meet the full 'amnount of the
lost interest on the unfunded liability; and that future liberalizations
of the program be paid by amortizing the cost of the liberalizations in
equal annual payments over a 30-year period. That is the legislation
embodied in title I of S. 2754.
This method of funding the cost of future benefit changes will de-
pend upon the willingness of the Congress and the administration to
include in annual appropriations and 'budget requests funds necessary
to meet the amortized cost of increased 'benefits. I't will be 'of no con-
sequence whatsoever to enact title I of S. 2754 unless both the Con-
gress, through its appropriation process, and the Executive branch, in
its recommendation of funds necessary for each fiscal year, face the
fact that further inaction will result in a bankrupt retirement fund in
18 years.
Neither branch of the Government can ignore the cost implications
of Federal retirement benefits. At the present time, the liability of the
Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund is increased by $2.55
every time a'$1 pay increase is enacted. The $1.3 billion pay increase for
classified and postal employees which became effective July 1, 1969,
increased the future liability of the Fund by $3.4 billion. The annual
interest on the present unfunded liability which was not paid at the
end of fiscal year 1969 added more than 51.9 billion to the total liability
of the Fund. The nine statutory salary increases, four civil service re-
tirement laws, and the nine annual. installments of lost interest on the
unfunded liability of the Fund which have occurred since June 30,
1960, have doubled the unfunded liability-from $31.1 billion in 1960
to $61.1 billion in 1969.
The obligation of the Government to insure that payments for re-
tired employees are made, and made when due, requires that action
be taken now to insure that there will be an adequate amount in the
Fund after 1987 to meet all obligations incurred.
3ITr TARY .ERVICE CREDIT
The financing provisions of tide I have been amended to provide
that the cost of military service credited for civil service retirement
shall be paid annually by a transfer of funds from the Treasury to the
Civil Service Retirement avd Disability Fund equal to the annual dis-
bursement of annuities attributable to the crediting of military serv-
ice. To avoid an undue impact upon the budget, the transfer is amor-
tized over a 10-year period.

tinder existing law, service credited for civil service retirement
annuities includes years of &-tive service in the military service of the
United States. At the present tinge, this amounts to 4.5 percent of an-
nuities, or an annual cost of $95 million. Neither the employee nor any
agency of the Government contributes any moneto the Fund for this
credit. Thus. an employee who retires from the-civil service after 15
years of civilian service and 5 years of military service receives
an annuity based on 20 years' service, although he and his agency have
paid for only 15 years' service. The cost of crediting military service
is made tip out. of the Fund.
The committer. recommendation requires that the Treasury pay to
the Fund the amount of annual annuity payments resulting from mili-
tar-v service credit. This payment will result in an annual payment. to
the Fund -beginning at approximately $9.5 million and rising over a
20-near period to a maximum of $306 million a year. Thereafter, be-
Of the restrictions of the Social Security Act relating to military
service performed after December .31, 1956 which results in a social
security benefit, service will not he permanently creditable for civil
service retirement purposes. The annual payment will decline to a level
figure of approximately $100 million in thedistant.future.
The committee believes that the transfer of funds is appropriate and
desir-able because the normal cost, estimated by the Commission in de-
ternrinin an appropriate rate of contribution for agencies and em-
ployees includes 0.22 per cent of pa---roll for military service credit even
though it benefits only some employees and it, is not civilian service
to the Federal (7orernanent.. The argument that such a transfer is
merely bookkeeping is effect in view of the fact that. employees pay
for the credit which only about one-half of all employees receive. Caar-
ried to its ronelusirnr, the argument would support the position that
all Government financial transactions are merely bookkeeping :and all
money should be appropriated in a lump sum.
TI'T'LE 1I-IRET1REME T BENEFITS
The committee has reported favorably the following amendments
to the Civil Service Retirement Art :
11IG11-3 a%-FRAGE
The committee approves language to change the basic period for
computing civil service annuities from the highest 5 consecutive years
to time highest 3 consecutive years. Under existing law, in effect since
1930, the formula for computing an employee's annuity is to multiply
his number of years of service by a percentage of salary received over
the best 5 consecutive years of earnings, The additional cost incurred
will be 0.07 percent: of payroll, equal to $15.4 million increase in normal
cost of the system.
CrnEulT FOR ISXCRE1) SICK LEAVE
Time committee approves language for crediting, for retirement pur-
poses, accumulated sick leave which an employee has at the time of
his retirement.
Tinder the Annual and Sick Leave Act. of 1951, -each employee sub-
ject to the Act is entitled to sick leave on an accumulative basis. For
Declassified in Part -Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/04/25: CIA-RDP71 B00364R000100150001-0
 Declassified in Part -Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/04/25: CIA-RDP71 B00364R000100150001-0
each biweekly pay period, he is credited with 4 hours of sick leave.
There is no restriction on'the total number of hours he may accumul ate.
An employee who works 30 years in the civil service has earned 390
days of sick leave, equal to about a year and a half of normal work-
ing days. At the time of his retirement his sick leave, if any, is forfeited.
The Civil Service Commission estimates that about half of all Fed-
eral employees retire with no accumulated sick leave and about half
of them retire with an average t )f days of unused sick leave.. The
problem of the use (or abuse) of sick leave is one that should be
handled properly by admi.nistrat ive officers of the Executive branch;
but regardless of the reasons for the use (or abuse) of sick leave, an
employee who retires with 6 months' accumulated sick leave has de-
voted more time serving his Government than an employee who re-
tires with no accumulated sick leave.
The additional cost incurred by crediting unused sick leave will be
0.06 percent of payroll, or $13.2 million increase in normal cost.
The committee would like for the Civil Service Commission to con-
sult with Federal agencies during t e, calendar year 1970 to survey
the use of sick leave after the enactment of this Act to determine
whether there has been any significant effect upon its use by employees,
and to report to this committee. at the beginning of the 92d Congress
on the results of its survey.
The committee approves provisions increasing all cost-of-living ad-
justments under section 8340 of title 5, United States Code, by 1 per-
cent beyond the Consumer Price Index figure used as a basis for
adjustments.
Under existing law, whenever the Consumer Price Index shows a
3-percent increase for each of 3 consecutive months over the base
month, annuities are adjusted by the highest percentage of any of the
3 months and that month becomes the. new base month for the purpose
of future adjustments. Since the cost-of-living provisions of the Civil
Service Retirement Act were revised in 1965, cost-of-living adjust-
ments have been made in January 1967, May 1968, and March of 1969-
each 3.9 percent.
In order to take into account the increased productivity of a na-
tional economy, as well as the possible inaccuracy of the Consumer
Price Index as an indicator of purchased goods, particularly for re-
tired employees, the committee approves the addition of a 1-percent
adjustment with each cost-of-living increase.
SURVIVOR ANNUITIES UNDER TIIT: ACT OF JULY 18, 1966
Section 506 of Public Law 89-504 amended the CiviA Service Re-
tirement Act to provide that when the surviving spouse of a Federal
employee remarries after attaining age 60, her civil service annuity
would not be terminated, or i r she remarried prior to age 60 and the
marriage wa.s terminated,'h.er annuity could be reinstated. The benefits
provided by that Act (signed by the President, July 18, 1966) were
not retroactive and had no effect upon the survivor annuity of any
spouse whose annuity was ba. ed on a death or retirement occurring
prior to the date of enactment of the legislation. The effect of this

avas that IWU snr'viyiug spouses of two Fedora) emph Xees, one of
whom retired on .lily 17, 19G16 and the other of whom retired oil July
11), 196G. would be. treated quite differently= if they remarried at any
time after their hushands' deaths. I' enty years later, the same two
snrrivirrg spouses could remarry after achieving age ?60, and one would
rciutinue to receive her annuity while the other would not.
It has been the general i liev of the committee to refrain from
recommending legislation which has a rotruaetive effect Mein civil
service retirenu'nt, however, iii this instance the equities of the sitaa-
tiola are such that law? cage permitting continuance of annuity in the
rase of a slcolisse whose survivor aiamrity is based on a death or retire-
tne'iit oerllrrrng prmi to July 1' , 19tit6, }ant whose remarriage Occalrrrcl
ore nr cr.#tri' the date of enactment of the 19#G Art, should be approved.
Tit addition, --nagre authorizing the corotinamnce of such an annuity
whenever the survivor of it Federal employee has been incorrectly ad-
vise-ft by Government authority beta yen the ell, ective (Lite of the 194616
Art and the effective date of this Act that such remarriage would not.
Aftwt her annuity is approved. It is unfortunate that in some rii uaai-
sianrp,, officials of Fsectative agencies have advised in employee of
rights or benefits under prevailing law or regulations which advice is
rrronernrs. "l'he surviving spouse of a Federal employee who receives a
letter flonu Government agent-y indicating that her annuity will not
be jeopardized by her remarriage should be able to rely upon such
information.
The committee proposes to amend the Civil Service Retirement Art
to improve very substatnt.iall't the survivor benefits for employees who
die with little Federal service, for employees who die after retiring
upon a disability annuity. and for the surviving children of Federal
employees.
I -nder esi' ting law, no eiyil service employee earns any vested an-
nuity rights or benefits until he has completed di years of sera ice
under the {'iyil serviea Retirement Art. 'I'hlts, an employee who dies
kith --f years 11 ntcintlis and 29 days of Federal civilian service under
the Act. is entitled to no Benefits and his survivors receive only a refund
of the deductions which have been made front his payroll check in each
fray- period during his years of service. Had he lived another day, such
an elliployee would have vested annauity benefits for his survivors
which would pay to ouch of his rbildreil approximately $61 a inoi1tIi
and Would pay- to his siirviying Slaonse a 55-percent remainder of his
earned annuity.
An employee Who retires on a disability annuity of 441 percent of
salary under the Civil Service Retirement Act and who thereafter
dies. leaves his family with rnininial benefits, because the basis for
tire disability annuity wllirln lie rceeived as a retired employee is sub-
:t:rntiarlly reduced in deterauiningr sillwivor am itity' benefits.
For example, Joe Jones is a 27-year-old civil service employee wida
ii years' service and an average salary of $10,000 at year. He dies,
leaving a wife and two small children. Mrs. Jones receives a survivor
annuity equal to .? percent, of iris rYeOu>rl annuity. After 0 ?ears'
service. ,Joe has an earned annuity of 9t..!t per-cent of fiis average salary,
or *925 a year. lfr . ,Zones` annuity is $527 a year, or'AU al month. Each

child is entitled to a survivor annuity of $61 a month. The total sur-
vivor annuity for Jones' widow and the children is $1,991 a. year,
subject to cost-of-living adjustments related to the Consumer Price
Index.
If Jones had been employed in. private industry subject to, the So-
cial Security Act under similar pay and tenure, his survivors would
have received the "maximum family benefit" of $4,982.40 a year. This
would result from applicable current social security law which under
existing limitations would give Mrs. Jones and each child $138.40 a
month. When the older child reaches majority, the other child and the
widow's benefit would increase to $153 a month each, almost twice the
benefit payable to all three under the Civil Service Retirement Act's
survivor provisions.
In the case of a civil service. employee who is disabled and subse-
quently dies, the example is similar. Had Jones retired on a disability
annuity, his annuity would be the smaller of 40 percent of his aver-
age salary or his annuity projected to age 60. In most cases, the 40-
percent clause applies, and Jones would receive $4,000 a year. But if
he died after disability retirement, the 40-percent provision would
be eliminated and his survivors would be entitled only to a survivor
annuity based on his earned annuity. Mrs. Jones would receive the
same $527 a year for herself and the samo $1,464 for the children.
Had Jones been retired on disability under social security, the surviv-
or's annuity would be the same as that described in the first example.
Using social security as a comparison is not entirely relevant when
evaluating benefits under the Civil Service Retirement Act, because
the two systems have different basic purposes. Civil service retire-
ment is a long term, staff retirement plan based on earnings and length
of service; but that it is a staff retirement plan should not obscure the
fact that 3 million employees} rely upon its protection for survivor
benefits as well as retirement. and are excluded from participation
under social security.
Adequate protection, particnlarl.y for the younger employee whose
earnings are low and service is short:, has been a. major goal of this
committee and the administration for several. years. Legislation to
provide a transfer of credit from civil service to social security has
been proposed, but no encouraging action has been taken by the Com-
mittees on Post Office and Civil Service, the Committee on Finance,
or the Committee on Ways and Means.
In 1967, employee, unions initially supported such a plan in public
hearings before the House, Connnittee on Post Office and Civil Service.
but subsequently provisions necessary to effect the transfer of credit
were stricken from a bill reported by the. Committee on Ways and
Means. This committee is inclined to believe that Federal employees
do not, desire to establish a close relationship between social security
and civil service retirement.
Until the issue of transfers between retirement systems can be satis-
factorily resolved, the survivors of Federal employees who die with
fewer than 5 years' service, or those who die with a vested annuity but
little service will continue to suffer drastic curtailment of income. The
committee believes it is in Ilse best interest of the employee and the
Government to improve substantially the survivor protection offered
Declassified in Part -Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/04/25: CIA-RDP71 B00364R000100150001-0
 Declassified in Part -Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/04/25: CIA-RDP71 B00364R000100150001-0
these employees at this time, solely through amendment,; to the Civil
Service Retirement Act, and continue the effort to work out a transfer
system at a later date.
Accordingly, the committee recommends that when an employee
serves 18 consecutive months in a position under the Civil Service lie-
tirement Act, his annuity rights (for survivor protection only) shall
vest, and in the event. of his death thereafter, his widow shall be en-
titled to an annuity equal to 55 percent of 40 percent. of his average
salary. If he dies after retiring on disability, his wife will be en-
title(d' to at least 55 percent of his disability salary.
Although this is a very substantial improvement. in the retirement
program, it is not a great windfall. Mrs. Jones, in the example cited
above, would be entitled to a survivor annuity of $2,200 it year rather
than $527.
The committee also recommends that the survivor annuity for the
mimarried children under 18 years of age of a Federal employee (or
an unmarried child between 18 and 22 who is a full-time student) be
increased from the present minimum standards. Existing law pays
benefit of $600 a year, or 40 percent of the employer's average salary
divided by (lie number of children. or $1.800 a rear divided by the
number of children, m-Michever ik lcss.'The cost-of-living adjustments
in effect since 1962 have raised the actual minimum payment to $732
per child per, year for not, to exceed three children.
The committee recommends that the minimum be increased to S900
a year, 60 percent of average salary divided by the number of children.
or 52,700 divided by the number of children. whichever is less. This
is an actual increase. of $168 per child per year under existing annuity
Payment schedules, or about =25 percent. The, cost-of-living adjust-
merrts Made since 1962 would be eliminated and a new base period for
future adjustments would be established. Proportional increases are
made in the survivor annuity of it child who has lost both parents.
The total cost of the entire survivor annuity- amendment proposed
by the committee will be $46 million a year in normal cost. This is
equal to 0.21 percent of payroll. The survivor annuity amendments
relating to extension of coverage to short-term employees and a new
guaranteed minimum for the survivors of an employee who dies after
retirement on a disability annuity, will cost 0.17 percent of payroll;
and the increases in the survivor annuities for children presently- on
time rolls and those corning on the rolls in the future is 0.04 percent of
payroll.
Yoder the provisions of the Civil Service Retirement Act relating
to employees of the Congress, the first 15 years of military service
and Congressional service are computed at 21/1 "percent, of the employ-
er's high-.) average rather than the normal percentage computation
used for civil service employees generally (11/2 percent for the first
years. 1'1/4 percent for the next 5 years, and 2 percent for the re-
mninder). This has been a part of tine Civil Service Retirement Act
for some years and compensates employees of the Congress because
their jobs generally depend upon the good health and political fortunes
of a Senator or Representative.

The committee approves language to remove the limitation on the
number of years of 'Congressional employee service computed at 21/2
percent (not to exceed a total maximum annuity of 80 percent of the
high-3 average), to limit military service creditable at 21/2 percent
to 5 years, and to increase the Congressional employee's contribution
from 61/2 percent to 71/2 percent of gross pay.
The committee proposes several new amendments to the: Civil Serv-
ice Retirement Act to provide basic and significant changes in the
Civil Service Retirement System :
Finally, the committee recommends that the Civil Service Retire-
ment Act be amended to exclude an. amount not to exceed $3,000 in
annuity payments from Federal income taxes.
Under existing 'law, civil service retirement annuities are not sub-
ject to Federal income tax until the employee's total. contribution to the
Retirement Fund has been paid by annuity payments. Ordinarily, it
takes about 3 years for this to Happen. Thereafter, civil. service re-
tirement annuity payments are ordinary income.
Neither social security nor railroad retirement benefits, both paid by
the Federal Government, are subjer.t to Federal income tax. The com-
mittee has received repeated suggestions by retired employees that at
least a portion of civil service. annuities be exempted from income
taxes.
The anticipatedloss of revenue resulting from the committee amennd-
ment cannot be accurately estimated. 'Considering that annuitants and
their spouses past the age of 65 each receive a double exemption and
a retirement credit under the provisions, of the Internal Revenue Code,
the taxable income after all. deductions is small and the amount of -in-
come tax paid to the Federal Government is not substantial. But it is
also clear that retired Federal employees are discriminated against
when compared to social security or railroad retirement annuitants. In
any case, the committee believes that it is clearly equitable and socially
desirable to exempt u reasonable portion of the civil service retirement
annuity from Federal taxation.
The provisions of this amendment are similar to the provisions of
S. 2087, which was introduced on May 8, 1969, and referred to the
Committee on Post Office and Civil Service.
The bill as reported by the comrnittoe will increase the normal cost
of the civil service retirement system from the present figure of 13.86
percent of payroll to 13.98 percent of payroll. This cost figure takes
into account the reduction in the cost caused by charging the general
fund of the Treasury with the funding of retirement credit for mili-
tary service.
The unfunded liability will be increased by the benefits enacted in
this legislation by $1.4 billion and will be reduced by the transfer of
funds relating to military service credit 'by $4.7 billion, resulting in a
net decrease of the unfunded liability of $3.3 billion.

pen-eaat to 7 percent of payroll.
Section 102 increases the contribution of an employee of the Con-

makes the new contribution rate effective on the first
pay period beginning in 1970.
Sc-vtion 108 authorizes the Civil Service (onimission to pay the
expenses of administering the retirement program (and other retire-
Ioent programs) out of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability
Fund.
This language is presently contained in annual appropriation hills.
Section 103 enacts two new subsections relating to retirement
financing.
Section 9348(g) of existing law, commonly known as the 'nionlas
hider (named for Coangressma n Albert Thomas. chairman of the In-
dependent. Ofli(-es Appropriations Subcomnnmittee), prohibits the pay-
nncnt of liberalizations in the retirement program until appropriations
are made to pay the cost. The benefit chain- -as in retirement aluani-
ties enacted in 1962, for instance, were not paid until June 1003. be-
cause appropriations were not made until that time. Annual appropri-
at ions have been made since 196 to pay the annual cost of the 5-percent
increase,
The new lan-ruage repeals the Thomas Rider and provides that here-
after liberalized benefits or increases in salary will automatically
authorize appropriations over a 30-Lear period, in equal annual install-
ments, to pay the cost of the added unfunded liability caused lrv such
benefits or salary increases.
'I'he effect, will be to stop the increase in the growth of the unfunded
liability bN. paving the cost on an annual basis. The Commission esti-
mates that the unfunded liability will cease to rrrow in fiscal ear 197th
111(l will remain constant thereafter at a aboutWTO.8 billion.'
The new subsection 434S(g) authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury
to trannsfer money from the Treasury to the Fund at the end of each
fiscal Year to paay the interest on the unfunded liability as well as Clue

cost of military service credit. To avoid a severe impact on the budget,
the payment would be graduated over a 10-year period, becoming fully
effective in fiscal year 1980, at a level cost of $2,990 million.
Section 104 is a technical amendment revising language in title 5
relating to annual reports. The substance of the report requirement is
not changed.
Section 105 repeals a report requirement on the annual cost of the
annuity increases enacted by Congress in 1958. Such costs will here-
after be paid out of the Fund and annual reports or annual appropria-
tions will not be necessary. This is a technical amendment.
Section 201 revises the computation factor so that the "average
salary" used to compute annuities for retired employees will be the
highest 3 consecutive years rather than the highest 5 consecutive years
and so that average salary for shorn terra will conform to the new
survivor annuity amendments.
Section 202permits an employee. retiring with accumulated sick
leave to have such leave credited towards his length of service for an-
nuity purposes.
Section 203 allows an employee of the Congress to compute his total
congressional service on the 2.5 percent formula, rather than limiting
such computation to riot more than 15 years' Congressional service.
'I'he Congressional. employees wouldVpay an additional 1 percent for
this additional benefit.
Section '204- adds 1 percent to each cost-of-living increase for retired
employees.
Under existing law, whenever the Consumer Price Index rises 3
percent for each of 3 consecutive months, all civil service annuities
are increased by the highest percentage figure within thoseo months.
This provision would add another 1 percent to the increase.
Section 204(b) increases the minimum survivor annuity for the
children of a deceased Federal em pl oyee.
Section 205 changes the remarriage provisions of the 1966 retirement
bill. Under the law, which applies only to persons eligible after the
date of enactment, the surviving spouse of an employee or annuitant
who remarries after age 60 does not lose her annuity, or if she remar-
ried prior to age -60, she can have her annuity reinstated if the second
marriage is terminated. The liberalization applies to no spouse whose
annuity is based on a death or retirement occurring prior to July 18,
1966 (date of enactment).
This change permits the Nv i do w to continue receiving her annuity
or to have 'such annuity reinstated if her spouse died or retired prior
to July 18, 1966, but her rem;irria e, did or does not occur until. after
such date.
Section 205 also permits the widow of an employee whose survivor
annuity has been terminated by remarriage to have her annuity rein-
stated if she was advised by (}ivernment authority that her remar-
riage would not affect her annuity.
'Section 206 provides the new survivor annuity language for Federal
employees who have at least 18 months' service or who retire on dis-
ability.
Section 207 exempts up to $3,000 of civil service retirement annui-
ties from Federal income taxes
Section 208 provides effective dates.

1. Messrs. R'?iller, met with Mr. Frank Slatinshek,
House Armed Services Committee sta? , an reviewed with him the proposed
Agency legislation to update the CIA retirement system. In Mr. Slatinshek's
judgment it would be pointless to even present the Agency's administrative
authority provision that would allow administrative updating of the Agency
retirement system as legislation changes are made in the Civil Service
Retirement Act. This is a matter that the Chairman and Committee consider
their responsibility: to oversee changes in our system as they might be desired
from time to time.

that in all probability only pro forma hearings would be involved in Committee
2. Mr. Slatinshek is in accord that the effective dates of the various
provisions of our bill should coincide with the effective dates set forth in the
Daniels/McGee bill. He requested that the Committee copy of our official
letter to the Speaker updating the legislation be sent forward at the earliest
possible date so that the Chairman can get it into the hopper. It was indicated

time of that briefing Chairman Rivers had been very pointed in his remarks
that this was information that should be given to the American public. He
had cautioned the Chairman on this and pointed out the sensitivity of the
information. In keeping with this background experience, when the sanitized

that the Agency had seen the article entitled "The CIA and The Green Berets:
A Strange Case of Mistaken Identies (sic)?" by L. Fletcher Prouty who is
touted by the Armed Forces Journal as an individual highly knowledgeable
on CIA and its activities. He advised that the information in this article is
contrary to the information provided the Appropriations Committee yesterday
by the Secretary of the Army. On meeting with Mr. Michaels I gave him a
copy of a previous article by Prouty that appeared in The New Republic of 23
and 30 August 1969 and advised that the biographic sketch on Prouty that
appeared in the Armed Forces Journal was somewhat inflated. I also
reviewed with Mr. Michaels some of the details of the Prouty article.
Although he is still concerned that such misinformation about the Agency is
-appearing in the public press, no further response or information is desired
from the Agency at this time.

that the Chairman will be introducing amending legislation possibly this
afternoon to update the military retirement system in keeping with the
liberalized authority for cost of living increases set forth in the Daniels-
McGee bill. He told me it is anticipated that the House will accept the
McGee version on the floor tomorrow. As for our bill, Frank requested a
draft of the Agency's adaptation of the Daniels-McGee bill provisions together
with a draft of any additional provisions the Agency might desire for his
personal study. It is his opinion that it would be a waste of time to even
forward a copy of our draft, "Administrative Authority Amendment, " which
would authorize the Director to adopt future changes in civil service retire-
ment legislation. Such a measure could not hope for Committee passage at
this time, let alone passage by the House of Representatives.
7. Met with Miss Louise Ellis, House Armed

STAT
CONFER
N CE IS NEXT STEP
' By SHIRLEY ELDER
Star Special Writer
The congressional struggle
over defense spending is far
from finished.
There must now be a confer-
ence between the two Armed
Services Committees to resolve
differences between the $20 bil-
lion Senate bill and, the $21.3
billion version passed late Fri-
day by the House.
After that, the fight will begin
again on financing the projects
authorized in the single. bill
drafted by the conferees.
The liberals, who made it
clear this year that Congress
wilt not idly approve military
spending requests, are ready td
dpi ; i t i to every step of the way.
x let ady, Sen. Edward W.
l3roroke, R-Mass., has objected to
la provision in the House bill that
threatens a cut-off in military
rescarcli funds to colleges that
refuse to cooperate in ROTC
programs.
That is "plainly intended to
intimidate colleges and universi?
ties",
Liberal critics of defense
spending in both the House and
the sedate probably are better
organized this year than any-
l:imo in recent history.
Although they knew they

tIes of proposed cuts in both the
house and the Senate.
In the House debate, just fin-
ished, there was never any
doubt that the pro-military
forces of Armed Services Chair.
man L. Mendel Rivers, D-S.C.,
would triumph.
But the victory, rather than
Rivers' prestige, has
"~ l rill"
given new recognition to the
so-called "Fearless Five," jun-
ior members of Rivers' commit-
tee who led the assault on the
bill. Their peak strength in the
432-member House was 141 votes
against deployment of the Safe-
guard antiballistic missile.
Rivers is not impressed by the
unusual challenge. He warned in
a v a n c e that "Johnny.
come-lately military experts"
would try to poke holes in his
$21.3 billion bill.
For Rivers, it becomes a very
personal thing. After disposing
of a string of amendments, he
complained about the "abuse
that was heaped on my shoul-
ders."
But the bitterness that flowed
from Rivers' sensitivity toward
the ri.ilitary, and his pride in the
bill, is largely eliminated from
the permanent record of the
House debates.
Gone is an attack by Rivers on
one of the "Fearless Five," Rep.
Robert L. Leggett, D-Calif. In it,
Rivers recalled Leggett's refusal
to give up debate time to "know
the facts" about something.
"I'm afraid that's the only
statement he has made during
this debate that was entirely ac-
curate," Rivers said sarcastical-
ly. He noted there are a number
of military bases in Leggett's
district and warned that the mil-
itary "has a ,capacity for know-
ing ing who their friends are."
Response Deleted Too
Gone from the record also is

the expression of critical views

Agency has had direct contact with Chairman Miller over the years and that
we see no need for change in our procedures with him. Mr. Mote advised that
this step of insuring direct contact with the Chairman was warranted by problems

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Meeting with John Blandford re Review of U.S. Activities
in the Far East
1. Met with Mr. John R. Blandford, Chief Counsel, House Armed
Services Committee, and discussed. with him Senator John Cooper's (R., Ky. )
statements last week on the floor of the Senate concerning the need for Senate
Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees to review United States
activities in Laos and other countries in the Far East and John Finney's column
in the New York Times on Saturday, 20 September, relating to Senator Stuart
Symington's (D., Mo.) outline of hearings scheduled to begin on 14 October to
review U. S. activities in Laos and the Far East. Mr. Blandford indicated that
he had been tied up all day Saturday and did not see Finney's item although he
was familiar with Senator Cooper's remarks.
2. Mr. Blandford's immediate reaction was that this is a matter for
White House determination. He is of the opinion that if the White House and
the intelligence community cannot see what is being attempted here by members
of the other body - to lay bare the intelligence structure and activities through
the American press - then there is little that can be done to forestall the dis-
memberment of the intelligence community. He noted that the Armed Services
Committee intends a closer look-see at intelligence but the present schedule of
the Committee will not allow such hearings in the foreseeable future. He gave
me the impression that the Committee is having difficulty moving legislation
and conducting hearings that are scheduled.

Soviet Airborne and Control Aircraft (AWAC)
The Soviets are known to be testing an airborne
warning and control aircraft (AWAC) that will, when
operational, enable them to improve their early
warning and air intercept capability. The TU-114
Cleat turboprop passenger transport has been modified
to carry a large dish shaped radome housing a long
range surveillance radar for early warning. Pictures
of the aircraft released last year by the Soviets
indicate that it may also have the ability to direct
Soviet fighters in airborne controlled intercepts.
AWAC, when deployed off the Soviet coast along
attack approaches, will enable the Soviets to detect
approaching bombers, several hundred miles further
from Soviet territory than they could with ground
based radar, and to direct fighters against them.
The operational deployment of this type aircraft
would force enemy planes to descend to lower alti-
tudes and to make early use of ECM thus reducing
their range and increasing the probability of their
being detected.
The number of these aircraft now in existence
is limited. Published estimates indicate that thirty
or so of the TU-114 Cleat were built for use as
transports. Some of these are still in service
with Aeroflot, according to Soviet flight schedules.
Recently, however, the newer turbofan IL-62 has
replaced the TU-114 on Aeroflot's international
flights. Most of the TU-114 Cleats still in service
will probably be similarly replaced, making them
available for conversion to the AWAC version.

will be consumed in discussion of the Green Beret matter. He advised

in Libya and the anticipated course of events in that country. He noted
that some members are becoming increasingly pointed in their remarks
and criticism of intelligence and in particular of the Defense Intelligence
Agency.

changes in transmission of information to the Committee on Soviet space
matters. Mr. Brandwein advised that both the Senate and House com-
mittees are in direct contact with the Agency's Office of Legislative
Counsel and that any transmission of information from the Agency would
be direct to these committees.
