6. Visit by Officer from Civil Service Commission: On
5 November Mr. Kenneth Glass, Staff Assistant to the Director of
the Bureau of Retirement at the Commission, was guest of Chief,
Retirement Affairs Division. Mr. Glass has been very helpful and
cooperative in his relationship with us. He was given a description
of our "package" of retirement services, a tour of the first floor at
Headquarters and lunch at the Rendezvous Room.
7. Responses from Retirees: Some months ago, Retirement
Affairs Division ceased sending six and 12-month follow-up letters
to open retirees and instead switched to a single letter follow-up at
the tenth month after retirement. Responses to the 10-month letters
are now being received, and it is apparent that the quality of the sub-
stance of such responses is much better than those received previously
in the six-month letters. Apparently, the retirees are more settled
after 10 months and have a batter perspective on retirement than was
possible after only six months.
8. Interest in Possibilit of Change in Mandator Retirement
Age for Civil Service: Retirement Affairs Division has received a
number of inquiries regarding the likelihood of the age for mandatory
retirement being raised beyond 60. A cable from Saigon Station also
raised this point. Apparently, knowledge that such a possibility exists
is known to many employees.
9. Budget Hearing: A great deal of time was devoted to pre-
paring for the hearing with the Agency examiner on 6 November 1974.
10. New E'OD's: There are 14 professional applicants scheduled
to enter on duty Monday, 11 November 1974.
11. Vacancy Notices: There are 19 active vacancy notices
currently in circulation (10 professional and nine clerical).
12. New Retirement Benefit: Under the provisions of a law
signed by President Ford on 26 October, a Federal civil service
annuitant who has had his or her annuity reduced in order to provide
survivor coverage will have the reduced amount restored if the marriage.
is dissolved by death, divorce or annulment.
