Memorandum for: Deputy Director (Administration)
From: Legislative Counsel
Subject: Retired Officers
1. The full House Armed Services Committee
today approved the CIA bill for the employment of fifteen
retired officers. However, in doing so, they knocked out
the proviso which would permit retired officers employed
by CIA to take advantage of the tax exemption features of
their retired pay.
2. The officers primarily affected by the tax
exemption proviso are those who are retired for disability,
and who therefore can be employed by any Government
agency under present law. It is the Committee's position
that there is no reason to place officers employed by CIA
in a different position than those employed by other agencies
of the Government in this category, and in the absence of
a Government-wide bill this proviso would be unwarranted
for CIA. Their contention is that the main purpose of the
bill is to allow CIA to employ fifteen officers whose employ-
ment is presently prohibited by law, and this they approve.
3. It is recommended that CIA approve the House
version without attempting to restore the proviso. When the
bill is passed by the House, we should then notify the Chair-
man of the Senate Committee that the amendment is satisfactory
to us and request the Senate to accept it. If we do not do so,
the House will probably sit on the bill in conference and we
will lose its main purpose which is the employment of the
fifteen officers.
