Mr. Gary Chase
Chief Counsel
Select Committee on Intelligence

Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Gary:
OLL85-1449/1
20 May 1985
This is in response to the concern expressed by Senator
Bentsen at the 8 May SSCI markup of the Intelligence
Authorization Bill concerning the cost of funding additional
retirement credits at unhealthful posts.
The Office of Personnel informs us that based on the State
Department's experience, about one percent of their senior
officers serving at unhealthful posts and who are receiving
salaries close to the ambassadorial pay cap elect the extra
retirement credit in lieu of a post differential. The Agency
expects that its experience will be similar to that of the State
Department.
Hopefully, the above cost data will provide the necessary
information requested by the Senator.
Sincerely,
25X1
