woul.,? be .nt;ac;e
points, the unfunded liability wouldi be increased by thout 85
percent of the nnouut stated in the letter from CIA to the
Bureau of the z3ud;et. This overstntement of unfunded liability
would result in the payment of interest by Treasury under
section 261(c) on liability not yet accrued -- #11.1lo,ours to
paying interest on debt not yet incurred --- and Would correspond-
in,,ly reduce the estimate prepared by the Director under -lection
261(a) of annual appropriations required to be grade to the fund.
The existing Foreign Service Act contains the same defect,
because normal premiums are 31.22 percent of aggregate basic pay
and Agency-employee contributions are only 16.28 percent.

In order to i)e consisten t: ..it accei,t'eci actuarial practice,
unfunded liability should be redefined. in the Civil ,+crv:ice
Act, the. 1roroi_ u S ervilce r,ct, andi tee CIA draft:
ttlon the following lines
Unfunderd liability c:'ca,ls the estimated exces of the
present value of all benefits payable froi:I the fund
over the sum of -
(a) the present value of future normal premiums;
plus
(b) the fund balance as of the date the unfunded
liability is deter mined.
A return to this standard definition of unfunded liability would
also imply that the 30-year arnnor.tization paytr.cnts provided for.
in the Acts and tile draft bill should be reduced to principal
only, since the unaamortized obligation ,would be included properly
as a part of the total unfunded liability on which interest
would be paid currently.
In view of the foregoing, we would be opposed to the draft
