Armed Services Coemittees to a reqirent or consultation with
these Conmattees.
b. Revising the definition of 'child for survivor beneAA
purpose, to the Civil Service language Which, by inclueing students
up to age 21, is more liberal than Foreign Service. A corresponding
change WAS made in the section covering the beginning and ending
dates of the child's annuity.
c. Including requirement or 'idou's annuity to terminate von
her remarriage. This change conforms to Civil Service requirements.
a. Liberalizing the survivor annuity provision to conform to
Civil Service by setting the annuity at 55 per cent (rather than
50 per cent) of the employee's annuity and by increasing the hese
'for the 2:> per cent reduction formula :ram ,21400 to -$3,600. (The
employee's annuity is reduced by 2 per cent of this base and 10 per
cent of the amount over it if he elects a survivor annnity.)
e. Increasing the Agency service requirewent for voluntary
retirement at age 5u with rs o service rum .ive to ten. (The
five-year requirement was inserted by the House Sub-committee.)
t. Complete revision of the involuntary retirement provision to
base the distinction as to benarits on length_of service rather than
0,44. Previously, an immediate annuity was provided at G6-14 and
over or an employee with at least ten years a:: Agency service
Including at least live years of 'qualifying" service. A GS-14 not
meeting these service requirements was to receive the bene its pro-
vided for a GS-13. A G6-13 and below receivfa separation pay (one
month's pay per year of service up to one year). In addition, he culc.:
elect a refund of his contribution to the fund or, it he had five
years of: service, a deferred annuity. There was a special provision
for GS-12's and 13's who died before reaching age 60 and obtaining
a deferred annuity to fl$ider such death a '-emoth in service.
The proposed revision ot' this section provides an immediate
annuity to an involuntary retiree who has twelve years of Agency
service including seven year. of qualifying service. Those vho do

rate of two aonthe. pe.Y Per year of service up to two year.' pay.
In addition, they may elect a refund of contributions or, if they
have five years of service, a deferred annuity. There is no pro-
vision to coastder Jeath before receipt of a deferred annuity to
be a death in service.
g. A new section has been added to place a limit of 400 on
voluntary retirements or involuntary retirements uith immediate an-
nuity daring the first five years under the Act. (Mandatory age
retirements, disability retirements., deaths, and involuntary retire-
ment.* without an immediate annuity waula not be counted against
this total.)

am' Is the stated intent of Foreign Service.
t. Inserting a requirenent that a retiree coneent to be recalled
to duty in the Agency.
j. Incorporating the Civil Service provision for cost-o livind
increases in annuity.
In this review we also noted the desirability of naking one or
tvo technical conforming changes which will be taken up after there is
understanding of the probability of acceptance of the substantive ameed-
ments to be discussed. The only point which has bothered Mr. Braswell
significantly libieh has not been modified in the proposed amendyents is
that of reemployment pay. tie questious the present (Foreign Service)
provision which permits receipt 4 salary plus annuity up to the amount
n:;. salary rate held at tine of rettrenemt. It is more liberal than Civil
Service but less liberal than the provision for retired military officers
Which this same Committee just approved in the Dual Conpensation Act.

according to the Civil Service Commisilion's general formula for estab-
lishing geotas for other agencies which fix the quota for the coehinea
dra2t at the 1)63 UGF quota plus 3C per cent. We believe that we will
have no difficulty achieving this quota--our contributions in these drives

were $154,65, and 460,413.
