MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Agency Legislation - Retirement Act Amendments
1. Met with Ed Bramwell, Senate Armed Services Committee staff.
to review the factors supporting the gap in cost-of-living increases pointed
out in the Director's 22 April letter to Chairman Russell. This was similar
to what had been done with Braswell in early 1967 when the legislation was
proposed to the 90th Congress.
2. Braswell seemed to focus in quite readily and had no real
problems. The inequities in cost-of -living between the CIA and Civil
Service retirement systems had a definite impact and Braswell commented
on the effect on morale this situation could create.
3. Braswell said the Chairman had not been in touch with hire on
the Director's letter, but that the Chairman would probably lean to consid-
eration of the cost-of-living provision only and then only after the House
had approved it.
4. Braswell identified the retention of annuity after remarriage and
the reemployment compensation provisions as ones the Chairman had strong
feelings against. Apparently, the retention of annuity after remarriage
provision would be acceptable if it conformed to the Civil Service rather
than the Foreign Service formula.
5. Braswell said that information on cost-of-living along the lines
we had charted for hina in early 1967 would be helpful. This involves the
increases granted under Civil Service, supporting CPI factors, the numbers
of annuitants eligible for these increases, and the costs.
