the future costs of this proposal. We did make, however, an analysis of some
general statistics concerning CIA,R retirees during Calendar Year 1967.. Of a
total, of 6$ retirements, 22 ea~pl.oyees retired abroad and were entitled to
travel expenses to a residence of their choosing under present regulations. ?
Of the remaining 46 retirements, 22 employees (or approximately one-third of
the total number of retirees) moved to a residence autside of the Washington,
D. C. Metropolitan area. 8u-sed on an estimate of the average distance moved
(1,362 miles), it is believed that the cost to the ency far each such move

possessions, at Government expense, it is, not passible to accurately estimate
~Since~we cannot foresee what places of residence CIA retirees would choose,
in the Department of State. We are not recomzaending this action in the
;absence of an observable compe].l.ing reason.
