MEMORANDUM FOR:

4 JAN 1966
SUBJECT :
Implementation of the CIA Retirement and
Disability System
1. We are making slow progress in our efforts to implement
the CIA Retirement and Disability System. In the six months which
have elapsed since the screening of on-duty employees for designation
as participants was initiated, only about one-half of the cases involved
in this initial screening have been referred to the several Career
Services for review. And, of these, almost one-half are still pending
action by the Career Service. Thus, we have finished in six months
about a quarter of a job which should take less than a year to complete.
2. I recognize that we may have gotten off to a slow start in
solving many questions which could not be anticipated. By this time,
however, the screening machinery should be running smoothly and
your input of "call-u " lists should be accelerated. Including a
backlog of almost iases on previous lists on which the respective
Career Services have not submitted recommendations, there are about
I ases still to be processed in the initial screening phase. Based
on experience to date, almost 75 per cent of these cases will be found
ineligible in the Career Service review and will not require c on
by the CIA Retirement Board. This leaves a balance of about
cases to be considered by the Board, moss t of which will be clear cut
and not requiring individual deliberation.
3. I have sent a memorandum to each of the Deputy Directors
urging that he give priority attention to cleaning up existing backlogs
in the screening process and to the prompt review of subsequent
"call-up" lists. Given such priority attention, we should be able to
complete the entire screening process by 30 April. To ensure that we
do so, you should:

a. Immediately revise your call-up schedule to
issue all remaining lists by 15 March and to phase these
according to the number of cases which each Career
Service must handle;
b. Supplement the CIA Retirement Staff by detail
or temporary assignment of employees from other parts
of your Office if necessary to ensure that cases are
processed promptly;
c. Institute a weekly reporting system which will
advise me of the progress being'made and any problem
areas requiring my attention.
4. I am also interested in obtaining information which will show
the implications of retirement in creating headroom in Grades GS-14
and above, as well as its impact on average salary levels. You should
coordinate with the Director of Planning, Programming and Budgeting
as to format and institute a quarterly report, commencing 1 March 1966,
showing actual and projected (up to 12 months) attrition under both
retirement systems with special attention to those individuals who are
still on duty as a result of specially approved waivers to current
retirement policy.
