Honorable Boger
Director of Intelligenci-and Research
Department of State
Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Mr. Ittlanian:
We have studied your letters with respect to the proposed transfer to the
Central Intelligence Agency of those portions of the National Intelligence Survey
and Biographic Programs which have heretofore been oerformed by the Dsparto
ment of State. We are, ia principle, in favor of your proposals and are pre-
pared to proceed with the treader of the per ml involved with the understand-
ing that these trensfere will take place in the same mer and under the same
authorities as apply to all transfers from other Government agencies to the
Central Intelligence Agency.
As you know, this Agency is exempted from the anasification Act and is
not under the jurisdiction of the Civil Service Commission. Consequently, all
appcdntments to this Agency are made under the authority of Section 8. of the
Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949, as amended. In making appointments
under this authority certain standards are applied which in some cases are not
common to all Government employees. It will, therefore, be necessary to
apply our security, medical and other entrance-on-duty criteria to individual
employees scheduled for transfer. For example, an employee married to or
contemplating marriaip to an alien will require special consideration. Person-
nel involved should also understand that it is the practice in this Agency that an
employee will normally retire when he becomes eligible for retirelnent unless
he le asked to remain in service. Also, while persann.el who have acquired
Civil Service status retain such status under the Ciwil ?iervice Commission, they
do not have preferential status with this Agency. In general, however, Agency
employees have at least the same entitlements as others employed in the Federal
service.
