Agency's practice in t G u tag si.:cla pay and allowances u-ace t- Cl-'-
National Security Act authority. Attei checking w"it:Z Mr. 'Harry sae'r ,
in the ViliCe of Personnel, I told Mr. .-,lcLL1.,Sliek l:.ie Computation is
relatively simple. The pay and allowances are totaled by the individual's
parent service and this figure is used as a simple deduction from the current
salary for the position. Mr. Slatinshek was very careful to point out that
the Committee is merely looking to the Agency as one having many years
of administrative experience in this matter. He requested additionally, if
available without too much effort, a breakdown of the specific pay and
allowance items that are utilized in computing the military pay total.
I briefed Mr. Slatinshek on several items of current intelligence
interest. (See Memorandum for the Record.)
6. (Secret - GLC) At his request, I met with Ed Braswell, on the
staff of the Senat?. _ ---r,'d Services Committee, to discuss the article by
Richard D. Lyons in today's New York Times on the Soviet satellite destroyer.
I briefed Braswell on the situation using information provided by Carl Duckett
and David Brandwein. Braswell was interested in this and anticipated
questions from the Armed Services Committee members on it. I told him
our people were preparing a commentary on the article and I would be happy
to provide him with a copy. Braswell said he thought Senator Margaret Chase
Smith (R., Maine) would be particularly interested in it.
