The number of employees to which such quarters will be made available shall be determined by the Secretary and shall reflect a significant reduction over the number of persons eligible for housing benefits as of the date of enactment of this provision. No employee may occupy a unit under this provision if. the unit is owned by the employee. The .Secretary shall require that each employee occupying housing under this subsection contribute to the Department of State a percentage of his or her base salary, in an amount to be deter- mined by the Secretary of State, toward the cost of such hous- ing. The Secretary may reduce such payments to the extent of income taxes paid on the value of the leased of rented quarters. Any payments made by employees to the Department of State for occupancy by them of living quarters leased or rented under this section shall be credited to the appropriation. fund, or ac- count utilized by the Secretary of State for such lease or rental or to the appropriation. fund, or account currently available for such purpose.

The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The Senate amendment would have prohibited the State Depart- ment from funding housing benefits to certain employees of the U.S. mission to the United Nations and would have required the State Department by October 9 to submit to the appropriate Con- gressional Committees, a proposal to meet the housing needs of personnel in the U.S. mission to the UN. The House bill contained no provision on this matter. The conference agreement inserts new language to take effect in July 1989 which limits the housing pro- gram to no more than 18 Foreign Service Officers plus two persons who serve at the pleasure of the U.S. Representative to the UN. The conference agreement also provides for the continuation of the provision of housing to the Representative and the Deputy Repre- Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/04/25: CIA-RDP90M00005R001400160005-0 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/04/25: CIA-RDP90M00005R001400160005-0 sentative. The conference agreement also provides for the Secre- tary of State to require an employee occupying housing pursuant to this provision to make a contribution from his or her salary toward the cost of such housing. This contribution is expected to be about 20 percent of salary. Finally, the conference agreement permits the Secretary of State to reduce the employee's contribution to the extent of income taxes which are paid on the value of the leased or rented quarters. The Internal Revenue Service has recently deter- mined that income tax must be paid on the value of the leased or rented quarters of the State Department employees participating in its housing program at the U.S. mission to the UN.
