DIARY NOTES
DD/S 20 October 1964
1. Emmett Echols was into discuss the following items:
a. He reviewed with me the nominations which have been received
for the various awards to be given during the next several months by
sources outside the Agency. We agreed that, inasmuch as our deadline
for the Federal Woman's Award is 10 November, we would make sepa-
rate recommendations on this award to the front office. We have received
four nominations for it, and this should be a relatively easy decision to
make. The remainder of the nominations will be submitted in one package
for decision by the front office as to whom we shall nominate, after which
the supporting documentation can be prepared. (Incidentally, I added the
name of Dr. Tietjen as a candidate for the Rockefeller Public Service
Award.)
b. Emmett discussed with me his current thinking on the "Retire-
ment Board" which will implement the provisions of our early retirement
legislation. He was inclined to think that he should not be the Chairman;
since this Board would be advisory to the Director of Personnel, he should
hold his position and judgment in reserve. He was also inclined to favor
the nomination of a DD/P careerist as Chairman of the Board. He thought
that DD/I and DD/S&T should each have one member on the Board and
that DD/S should probably have two, one from the Office of Communica-
tions and one from the rest of the Support services. I said that I thought
a D n would be all right if someone like or
ere selected; there are many others t at I thought would
not be satisfactory. In any case, I thought that the regulation should not
specify the number of members of the Board nor where they should come
from. This should be left open so that the Director can change it if he so
desires. In this connection, I asked Emmett to consider two other ques-
tions: (1) When this Board is established, should it not take over the
functions of the present CIA Retirement Board? (2) Inasmuch as our early
retirement legislation was enacted primarily for the Clandestine Services
and those in support of the Clandestine Services and since it provides
that retirement for grade GS-18 shall be mandatory at age 65 and for
others at age 60 with a further proviso that the Director can extend indi-
vidual cases in either of these two categories five additional years, should
we not review our current regulations and policy which provide that every-
one must retire at age 60 or 62 when eligible for a full annuity? Although

the number of people involved is not large, it seems to me that we could
be accused of being more generous with the Clandestine Services, for
whom we sought early retirement legislation to keep the service young,
than we are with the rest of the Agency.

2. 1 telephone o suggest that DD/S&T give serious considera-
tion to paying a very substantial financial premium to employees to serve at
without taking their families with them in lieu of the sizable construc-
tion program which would be the only other alternative. He said that they were
already thinking along these lines and that it was his personal opinion that con-
struction of the scope and magnitude originally planned was completely out of
the question.
