COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20510
July 15, 1981
J. KEITH KENNEDY. STAFF DIRECTOR
THOMAS L. VAN DER VOORT, MINORITY STAFF DIRECTOR
Honorable William J. Casey, Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D. C. 20505
.The Committee briefly reviewed-your planned pay increase for
overseas personnel during its recent CIA budget hearing, and I
have extensively reviewed the various correspondence dealing with
this matter that has flowed between your office and the various
congressional committees concerned with CIA operations. Con-
sidering the lack of authoritative data on pay comparability and
other information that should be an essential part of a decision
on compensation changes, the implementation of a 9.6 percent pay
increase would appear to be premature.
As I indicated at our budget hearing to Admiral Inman, a
-thorough pay comparability study by the Office of Management and
Budget should be conducted to ensure that your decision does not
continue this "leapfrog" pattern that has developed in compensa-
tion rates for federal personnel overseas. Meanwhile, any change
in compensation approved under existing CIA authorities should be
clearly labeled as temporary in nature or perhaps a bonus that
would be subject to later revision based on findings of the pay
comparability study.
The Committee will also require the Agency's estimates on the
full year cost of this pay raise for Fiscal Year 1.982 together with
current plans for financing that cost. If the 1982 costs are to be
absorbed in whole or in part, we will need details on what funds are
being reprogrammed to accomplish this. We also need reprogramming
data on the 1981 absorption.
I trust in the future that decisions affecting spending will be
discussed with the Committee well in advance of any commitments.
