Points of difference between S; 2688, of the
80th Congress, and the proposed CIA bill:
1. ?Abe pbraSe "Executive Director" on page 20
lines 21 and 22.. of 3. 2688, has been changed to read
"Executive" to conform to the change in that official's
title hi .Agency
4...?,
Sectian'5 A (1)(c) has been amended at page
5, lines '2 and 3 of S. 2., by strileing out the phrase
after the mord "services" in line 2, And by adding "to his
residence at time of appointment or to a point not more
di8tant0 or upon retirement to the place mbere he mill
reside;". While it was felt perfectly proper to conform to
the language of the Foreign Service Act of 1946, which
provides for the transporting of the effects of a career
employee to his final place of residence 'upon retirement
from the service, nevertheless, it was considered excessive
to offer this same privilege of selection of residence to
an employee who is terminated or resigns from our service.
Therefore, we have limited ourselves merely to returning
his possessions to his residence at the time of appointment.
3. Anew Section 5(A)(2) has been added. The
old Section5(y2), Commencing on ID'age 6, line 4, has been
renumbered (A) 3)o and the rem ng Aini sub-sections of
Section 5(A have been renumbered accordingly. This Diarti
Section 5(A)(2) is included in order to provide a. means
for obligating funds applicable to the fiscal year when
.authorizations are issued and arrangements made for the
transfer of employees, their dependents and household
effects. Thus, current funds are properly set aside, and
the need for using funds applicable to subsequent fiscal
years for which budgetary provisions cannot or have not been
made is avoided.
4. Section 5(A)(2) of s. 2688, now renumbered
5(A)(3), is amended on page 6, line 7 by the striking out of

The new Senate Bill differed from the House version (H.R., 5871) be
the following particulars:
1. Section 6(a) of the Senate Bill read: "Transfer to and
receive from other Government agencies such sums as may have bei
approved by the Bureau of the Budget and appropriated .
2. Section 7(a)(1) of the Senate Bill includes the phrase
"personal services without regard to limitations on types a
persons to be employed" instead of the phrase "employment vf
aliens" as the Committee thought, for reasons of security, that
the word "aliens" should. not appear in the law although it was
the intent of the Committee that CIA employ aliens where necesesee.
3. Section 7(b) which formerly read: "of the sums made available
to the Agency such amounts as may be appropriated by the Bureau (If
the Budget may be expended . . ." has been amended, to read: ntht!
sums made available to the Agency may be expended - ."
Senate Report #1302 states on page 3: ". . and that such Amth.
may be expended without regard to the provisions of law applicable to
Government funds." This was a Change from the original draft of the report
which read: ". . and that a portion of such feeds . ." Tee Chief
Clerk of the Conmittee Staff informed CIA that the phrase "a portion* was
deliberately struck out because it is the intent of the Committee that
CIA should have complete control over the expenditures of its funds,
vouchered and unvouchered.
