NOTE FOR: JSW
1. Attached is my analysis of the retirement annuity adjustment
problem. It is very cryptic and possibly intelligible only to me. The
analysis covers the CIA Retirement Act, the existing and proposed Civil
Service system, the proposed Foreign Service system, and the Military
system recently approved in the Pay Act. Also attached are the existing
laws and proposed amendments to laws as convenient reference material.
2. The analysis shows that:
(a) CIA retirement annuitants will not get a cost-of-living
increase on 1 April 1966.
(1) Only those who retire before 2 January 1966
could have received such an increase; and, as you know, we
had no such retirees.
(2) Even if we had retirees before 2 January 1965,
the cost of living would have had to increase 3 per cent from
1964 to 1965 before a cost-of-living increase could have been
granted (Section 291 (a)(1), P. L. 88-643).
(b) Civil Service retirees whose annuities commence by
1 November 1965 would be entitled to an approximately 5. 2 per cent
annuity increase. This represents approximately 3. 7 per cent cost-
of-living increase from 1962 to June of 1965 (which could go higher
since the 1965 base month used for the comparison would be the month
preceeding passage for enactment), plus a 1.5 per cent increase
granted to annuitants whose annuities commenced after 1 October 1956
(House passed and reported out of Senate Committee H. R. 8469, Sec-
tion 18 (a)
(c) If H. R. 8469 is enacted, CIA retirement annuitants whose
annuities commence by 1 November 1965 (assuming passage of
H. R. 8469 in August) will not receive any cost-of-living increase in
annuities without some legislative remedy, while their Civil Service
counterparts would receive some 5. 2 per cent increase under H. R. 8469.

 Approved For Release 2002/05/02 : CIA-RDP71 B00364R000500220012-6
(d) Further, even if H. R. 8469 is not enacted, Civil
Service retirees will receive at least a 3.7 per cent increase
under present cost-of-living trends as of 1 April 1966 pursuant
to existing law. Such retirees' annuities commencement dates
must be earlier than 2 January 1965; and, therefore, under exist-
ing legislation CIA annuitants would stir!-be at a disadvantage when
compared to cost-of-living adjustments under existing Civil Service
retirement statute.
3. The wording of P. L. 88-643, Section 291 (a)(2) leaves unclear
what base period is to be used to compute a price index change "of at least
3 per centum" for determining cost-of-living adjustments of annuities after
1 April 1966. Section 291 (a)(1) sets 1964 as the base for any adjustment
effective 1 April 1966, yet as pointed out earlier the base period used for
such comparison is 1964 rather than 1962, as provided in existing and pro-
posed Civil Service retirement legislation, proposed Foreign Service legis-
lation, and the recently passed Military legislation, H. R. 9075. Although
there is a clearly defined base year for 1 April 1966 adjustments, there is
not for subsequent adjustments. For such subsequent adjustments under
P. L. 88.643 it may be possible to interpret Section 291 (a) as incorporating
the 1962 base period set forth in Section 18 (a) in existing Civil Service
retirement annuity legislation. If this improbable interpretation could be
sustained, this would mean that CIA retirement annuitants whose annuities
commenced before 2 January 1966 could be increased effective 1 April
1967 by the difference between the cost of living in 1962 and the cost of
living in 1966. This would, of course, cover all retirees whose annuities
commenced before 2 January 1966. However, under that interpretation there
would be no way to recoup the 1. 5 per cent bonused adjustment provided in
the proposed Civil Service amendment, H. R. 8469.
4. Other than the above points, I will refrain from making any other
comments or suggestions, thinking you will want to question me most closely
on this.
