SUBJECT : Extension of the Ban on Maximum Age Limits to Positions
in the Excepted Service
1. This is in response to your request for a coordinated Agency
position concerning the proposal to enact changes in subchapter II of
chapter 71 of Title 5, U. S. Code.
2. This Agency has set no maximum age limits for appointment to
staff positions in general or for particular positions although age is
25X1A obviously a factor for consideration for entry into the Career Training
Program or the
25X1A 3. The ency'e retirement policy as published in H and
OEM 20-12-14 (copies attached) has the effect of establishing age limits
an staff employment except as specifically approved by the Director of
Central Intelligence.
4. The issue at hand seems to present a general legal problem
rather than a matter to be justified an the basis of particular position
requirements. The real question is whether the Director shall continue
to have authority to establish personnel policies and practices in the
Agency's interest without such action being subject to external review
by the Civil Service Commission.
5. We rec mmnend that the Agency take the position that it is
essential for the Director to have such authority and that the Agency
must, therefore, seek exemption from the proposed legislation.
