1. Item I of the egenda of this Working Group, 29 tobe, 1951,
rejatee to extension of the authority, presently contained in peraraph 5.4 of
thu Confidential Funde eeeulations, which applies provisions of the hieing
Persons Act to CIA etyff eoployees ond staff agents. That ,cit generally pro?
vides for the continuation of normal pay and allowance where an employee is
interned, oissing beleaguered, besieged, etc. There are further provisi no
relating to procedures whereby a status of missing, or other type of etatus,
can be continued or terminated. rho Act provides for detereination by toe head
of the agency concerned that the individual iv dead. thiring tte period of such
status, for exeoole, he dependents of the individual may continue to receive
an eopropriate =count for their needs from the salary normally due to the indi?
vidual.
2. The benefits of this Act are applied only to staff employees and staff
