MifivIORANDUM FOR: See Distribution
Assistant Legislative Counsel
SUBJECT : Special Retirement and Training Legislation
REFERENCE : Memorandum to the DCI from DDA, Dated 19 April 1978,
Same Subject
1. As noted in the reference memorandum (copy attached), the Director
has approved our studying the matter of seeking special legislation that
would authorize the DCI to provide training for Agency personnel whose
association with the CIA is to be terminated. OLC has drafted language
that could be proposed in the Congress to achieve this purpose (attached
with reference memorandum).
2. In order to prepare this proposal for action at the appropriate
time and in the proper form, it is necessary that we make sure the
language is legally sufficient and that we have the requisite material
to support and explain.it.. With this in mind, it is requested that your
office review the proposed training language and provide your comments
lrec. Just a few of the issues that come to mind which such review and
comment should include are the following:
a. What would be the cost of such a program?
b. Is there some idea of the number of per-
sons who might be eligible for such
training?
c. Would there be any security problems, both
in terms of the status of employees receiving
such training (e.g. would they be considered
"employees" for purposes of cover, security
agreements, etc.) and in terms of access to
Agency facilities and information during the
period employees would be receiving the
training?
d. Is. it feasible to attempt to distinguish,
among employees to be terminated who would
be eligible for such training, those who, ~v1 PI/
because of the "un-marketability" of their
skills, would receive the training?

Approved For Release 2006/11/17: CIA-RDP81 M00980R001400020023-0
e. Or, as the converse of the preceding question;
as a practical matter, would all employees,
except those terminated for reasons that
reflect unfavorably on their performance, who
are terminiated receive the training?
f. Is it reasonable to provide that only employees
who would not qualify for immediate retirement
benefits be eligible for the training (note: the
similar provision regarding training for air
traffic controller, 5 U.S.C. section 338',
is not limited to controllers not eligible for
immediate retirement)?
Would any of those employees terminated in the
recent DDO reduction have been eligible for
such training, had the authority been available?
h. Could such proposal be given some form of retro-
active applicability, and if so, should it be
so provided?
3. This proposal is included in the Agency's position paper on Title
IV (CIA) of S". 2525, the intelligence charter legislation, but OLC also is
studying the possibility of sending the proposal forward in another form.
Thank you.
