OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Friday - 24 January 1969
1. Met with Mr. J.R. Blandford, Chief
Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, and reviewed with him the
proposed letter to the Administrator, Social Security Administration,
concerning transfer of employment credits under the social security
law. Mr. Blandford foresees no problems but requested that I brief
Mr. Frank Slatinshek on this matter and such other Agency personnel
matters as are appropriate at the moment. As for further follow-up
legislation concerning possible amendment to the Central Intelligence
Agency Act to assign transfer of credit charges to individual accounts,
Mr. Blandford could foresee no real problem in joining with other retire-
ment systems in a single legislative package through the Post Office and
Civil Service Committee.
I briefed Mr. Blandford on the following items: (a) Soviet
difficulties with the SL-12; (b) possible increases in Soviet military aid
to Cuba; (c) the absence of Kosygin from the Moscow celebration for the
Soyuz cosmonauts; (d) possible additional Arab terrorist attacks on
El Al aircraft; and (e) continued increase in tensions in Czechoslovakia.
2. I IMet with Mr. Frank Slatinshek, Counsel,
House Armed Services ommittee, and reviewed with him the highlights
of the CIA retirement system and the Agency response to the Social
Security Administration concerning their report to Ways and Means Com-
mittee on transfer of employee credits to social security where no retire-
ment benefits are payable for civil service employment. In summary, it
was requested that since Agency considerations, Agency retirement
systems, and Agency personnel practices are new to Mr. Slatinshek, he
would appreciate a detailed briefing on the Agency retirement systems
and such other matters of personnel policy as are appropriate at the mo-
ment. Further meetings will be scheduled with Mr. Slatinshek on these
subjects.
3.1 (Representatives Ed Foreman
(R., N. Mex.) and William Clay (D. , Mo.) accepted invitations for break-
fast at the Agency on 4 February. I blocked the time with Representatives
Patrick Caffery (D., La.), Lawrence Hogan (R. , Md.) and J. Glenn Beall
(R., Md.) and will confirm within the next week.
