-- P&PD/OL has begun publication of a new current intelligence report entitled
Mid-Day Intelligence Report (MIR). Various senior government officials are
to receive this report by 1300 hours on a daily basis. The production
schedule developed for this report allows P&PD only 15 minutes (i.e.,
1100-1115 hours) to compose the job and produce master pages to be used by
CPAS for further reproduction.
-- OP and Office of Comptroller representatives met with Russ Neeley of OMB to
discuss the Agency's proposed retirement legislation. This was a follow-on
to the 15 August meeting and was a learning exercise for Mr. Neely on the 25X1
details of our proposed retirement package. In his questions, Mr. Neeley
focused primarily on cost and funding items and was particularly interested
in getting dollar figures associated with the enhanced benefits in our
proposal. Specific areas on how our legislation would be administered were
clarified, and Mr. Neely was advised that the cost estimates for our
proposal were developed by our consultatnt 25X1
with actuarial assumptions the same as utilized for analysis of the
Stevens/Roth Bill and other retirement proposals under consideration.
Mr. Neely found this impressive, and we stated we could involve
in subsequent discussions to clarify technical costs and funding
questions. In the interim, we advised Mr. Neeley we would work with
to get answers to OMB's immediate questions on cost comparisons
between the current Civil Service system, the Stevens/Roth Bill, and our
proposed retirement package. This information will be provided in writing
early next week. 25X1
