Office Memorandum ? UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
TO General Counsel
FROM Comptroller
SUBJECT: CIA Legislative Program
1. There are listed below several items which we recommend
for consideration in connection td.th the CIA Legislative program:
a. P.L. 1195, 83rd Congress, pertaining to the recovery,
care, disposition and burial of the remains of deceased
government employees, grants powers and authorities to the
Secretaries of the A.rn r, Air Forces, Navy, Treasury, Health,
Education and Welfare, and Corr:nerce are much broader than
those granted the DCI in P.L. 110, Sec. 5(a) (6). Since
many of the cases involving the disposition of the remains
of deceased employees of this Agency are handled by the Army
on a reimbursable basis, and inasmuch as the broader authori-
ties granted in P.L. 195 are needed by this Agency in con-
nection with the proper disposal of the remains of employees
who die while on overseas duty, it is recommended that con-
sideration be given to amending P.L. 110 to enable the DCI
to exercise the authorities granted to the Secretaries of
other Departments by P.L. 495.
b. P.L. 110, Sec. 5(a) (7) - Consider desirability of
amending last sentence concerning "Violations" of employment
agreements to conform more nearly to the provisions of P.L. 830' 'us,ress
This section is more restrictive than provisions of P.L. 830
which authorize the return of an employee to the U.S. for the
convenience of the Government. Security considerations make
it desirable that this Agency have such authority.
c. P.L. 110, Sec. 5(a) (2) - Delete the phrase "involving
a change of permanent station". Delete the words "pertaining
to the transfer" in line 5; delete the words "and transfer"
in line 6, and delete the words "and transfer" in line 8.
This amendment would not effect the amounts paid to the
traveler, but would enable the Agency to charge all travel
and transportation costs to the anpropriation for the fiscal
year in which the travel or transportation began instead of
prorating it between fiscal years. At present this can be

done in connection with travel and transportation costs
incident to a transfer of official station, but cannot
be done in connection with travel costs for temporary
duty, home leave, reporting to first post of duty, and
return for separation. This amendment would result in
a savings to the Government by permitting more effective
and efficient budgeting, allocation, and accounting for
funds expended for this purpose.
