OLL 84-1885/1
25 May 1984
Mr. James M. Frey
Assistant Director for Legislative Reference
Office of Management and Budget
Washington, D.C. 20503
Dear Mr. Frey:
This is in response to your request for the views of the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on the revised Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) draft bill to amend 5 U.S.C. ?8312
to provide that an individual may be denied a civil service or
military annuity of the United States if convicted of specified
types of felonies in connection with his employment. Because
of the problems associated with classified information, the CIA
objects to this draft bill unless it is further modified as
detailed below.
In a letter to you dated 9 February 1984, we raised an
initial objection over the OPM proposal -- that OPM not have
jurisdiction over the CIA Retirement and Disability System
(CIARDS). This objection has been rectified in the revised OPM
proposal.
Since our earlier letter, it has come to our attention that
the notice and hearing process contemplated in the amendment
could threaten the disclosure of classified information in
certain situations involving sensitive Agency equities.
Further, in such cases the Director of Central Intelligence is
best equipped to properly assess the equitable impact of this
information. For these reasons, we believe it is necessary to
include in the legislation the following section:
(f) The Director of Central Intelligence shall make
any determination required under subsection (d) with
respect to any annuities based on creditable service with
the Central Intelligence Agency that involve activities
deemed by the Director of Central Intelligence to be
classified pursuant to Executive Order.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this important
draft bill.
