7 duced annuity and to provide for an annuity equal to 55 per-
8 cent of the reduced annuity payable after his or her death to
9 a beneficiary whose name is designated in writing to the Sec-
10 retary of State. The annuity payable to a participant making
11 such election shall be reduced by 10 percent of an annuity
12 computed under subsection (a) and by 5 percent of an annuity
13 so computed for each full 5 years the designated beneficiary
14 is younger than the retiring participant, but such total reduc-
15 tion shall not exceed 40 percent. No such election of a re-

5 year after such marriage, irrevocably elect in writing to re-
6 ceive a reduced annuity and to provide a survivor annuity for
7 the spouse (if such spouse qualifies as a surviving spouse
8 under section 804(12)). Receipt by the Secretary of State of
9 notice of an election under this subsection voids prospectively
10 any election previously made under subsection (f). The reduc-
11 tion in annuity required by an election under this subsection

7 supplemental survivor annuity shall be equal to 55 percent of

9 able to a surviving spouse to whom the annuitant was mar-
10 ried at the time of reversion to retired status or to whom the
11 annuitant had been married for at least one year at the time

6 spouse survives the annuitant. Such reduction shall be equal
7 to the reduction in effect immediately before the dissolution
8 of the previous marriage (unless such reduction is adjusted
9 under section 814(b)(5)), and shall be effective the first day of

3 ance, or willful conduct of the participant) shall, upon his or
4 her own application or upon order of the Secretary, be retired

6 disabled or incapacitated participant has less than 20 years of
7 service credit toward retirement under the System at the
8 time of retirement, his or her annuity shall be computed on
9 the assumption that the participant has had 20 years of serv-
10 ice, except that the additional service credit that may accrue
11 to a participant under this sentence shall in no case exceed
12 the difference between his or her age at the time of retire-
13 ment and age 60.
14 (b) Before being retired under this section, the partici-

6 eration the age, qualifications, and experience of such annu-
7 itant, and the present class of his or her contemporaries in
8 the Service, appoint or recommend that the President ap-
9 point the annuitant to a higher class. Payment of the annuity
10 shall continue until a date 6 months after the date of the
11 examination showing recovery or until the date of reinstate-
12 ment or reappointment in the Service, whichever is earlier.
13 Fees for examinations under this section, together with rea-

7 that a participant may simultaneously receive both an annu-
8 ity under this section and scheduled disability payments

10 section shall not bar the right of any claimant to the greater
11 benefit conferred by either this Act or such subchapter for
12 any part of the same period of time. Neither this subsection

13 public business, and
14 (C) facilitates and encourages the amicable
15 settlement of disputes between workers and their
16 employers involving conditions of employment;
17 (2) the public interest demands the highest stand-
18 ards of performance by members of the Service and the
19 continuous development and implementation of modern
20 and progressive work practices to facilitate improved

8 and that remedial action should be taken that relates directly
9 to promotion or assignment of the grievant or to other reme-
10 dial action not otherwise provided for in this section, or if the
11 Board finds that the evidence before it warrants disciplinary
12 action against any employee of the Department or member of
13 the Service, it shall make an appropriate recommendation to
14 the Secretary. The Secretary shall make a written decision
15 on the recommendation of the Board within 30 days after
16 receiving the recommendation. The Secretary shall imple-
17 ment the recommendation of the Board except to the extent
18 that, in a decision made within that 30-day period, the Secre-
19 tary rejects the recommendation in whole or in part on the
20 basis of a determination that implementation of the recom-
21 mendation would be contrary to law or would adversely
22 affect the foreign policy or national security of the United
23 States. If the Secretary rejects the recommendation in whole
24 or in part, the decision shall specify the reasons for such
25 action. Pending the decision of the Secretary, there shall be
