Although had submitted an application for voluntary retirement,
effective 30 June 1969, the Board noted that since this case was not being
approved under the 31 July 1968 memorandum from the Executive Director that
should be advised of the proposed benefits of the pending
"Daniels Bill" and asked if he still desires to retire on 30 June 1969. If
his answer is in the affirmative the Board recommended approval of his re-
quest for voluntary retirement on that date.

is 62 years of age and is currently scheduled to retire under the Civil Ser-
vice vice Retirement System on 30 June 1969. was nominated for par-
ticipation in 1965 on the basis of 60 months of overseas service, however,
verification of his service at that time disclosed that he had completed only
57 months and 22 days. This case was then returned to his career service
and they forwarded a memorandum declaring him not eligible for participation.
He now requests that the period from December 1965 to the present be declared
qualifying service for the System. During this period he has been assigned
in the International Division of the Domestic Contact Service and has served
as the DCS representative to the Vietnam Task Force. In this job he con-
ducts liaison with consumer offices, clandestine services, and USIB agencies.
In discussing this case the Board noted that this domestic service would
normally be accepted as qualifying service in connection with concurrent
retirement. However, the Board noted that if this case had been considered 25X1
in 1966, as it should have been, and had been approved would
have been required to retire under the mandatory provisions of the System
in May 1967, at age 60. Since he has been extended until June 1969 he will
at that time have had two additional years' salary and an additional 4 per
cent factor for annuity computation. In view of these facts and the fact
that he did not appeal for participation in the System until 25 March 1969,
the Board recommended that not be approved for participation in
the System.
5. The next case considered by the Board was the nomination of

System based on 60 months of domestic qualifying service. has

Communications Division has indicated that has proven to be
a very capable employee and states that he could effectively utilize her
services during this period since the Division has a high rate of clerical
personnel turnover and usually has as many as five to twelve vacancies dur-
ing the second half of each fiscal year. He also states that she is not
blocking promotional progression. The Director of Security, with the con-
currence of the Deputy Director for Support, recommends that approval be
granted for postponement of her scheduled retirement to 31 May 1970 for
compassionate reasons. The Board recommended that retire-
ment be deferred until 31 May 1970 in the interests of the service in light
of the clerical vacancies expected in her Division.
considered by the Board was a request from

Civil Service Retirement System, from 31 October 1970 until 31 December
1970. states that this extension is requested in order that
the lump sum annual leave payment will be paid in calendar year 1971 rather
thereby allowing the reduction in income tax liability which
than 1970
,
would represent a substantial saving and benefit to her. The Director of
Communications, with the concurrence of the Deputy Director for Support,
recommends that her request for an extension be approved. The Board recom-
mended that H retirement be deferred until 31 December 1970.
10. The Board next considered a request from the Director, Domestic
Contact Service for the extension of retirement, 25X1
under the Civil Service Retirement System, from 31 January 1970 until
30 April 1970, to permit him to achieve 20 years of government service.
The Deputy Director for Intelligence has concurred in this request. Since
this request was not submitted on the basis of a need for services or on
compassionate grounds the Board recommended that the requested extension
not be approved. However, the Board recommended that the Director of Per-
sonnel issue a 20-year Federal Service pin upon his retirement
in January 1970 although he will at that time be short of 20 years by
2 months and 7 days.
