Central Intelligence Agency
The Honorable Jack Brooks
Chairman
Committee on Gover'nment Operations
House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
This letter is a final response to your request of
27 January 1986 for the views of the Central Intelligence
Agency on H.F. 4025, a bill that would exempt federal
retirement cost-of-living allowances from the Gramm-Rudman
sequestration procedure. Mr. Casey has asked me to respond on
his behalf.
The Central Intelligence Agency is very much concerned that
its employees receive an adequate pension. H.R. 4025 would
ensure that federal employees' pensions are not eroded through
inflation. However, H.R. 4025 is not consistent with the
President's budget and the Administration has, therefore,
decided to oppose this legislation.
The Office of Management and Budget has advised that there
is no objection to the submission of this report from the
standpoint of the Administration's program.
Sincerely,
David D. Gries
Director, Office of Congressional Affairs
