Honorable David E. Bell
Director
Bureau of the Budget
Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Mr. Bell:
In accordance with Bureau of the Budget Circular A-19, revised,
there are enclosed four copies of a draft bill, "To amend the Central
Intelligence Agency Act of 1949, as amended, and for other purposes."
This bill is submitted for clearance by the Bureau of the Budget prior
to submission to the Congress. Also enclosed are copies of the
explanation and justification which are necessarily classified SECRET.
Draft proposed letters of transmittal to the Speaker of the House and
President of the Senate are enclosed.
The proposed legislation would authorize the Director of Central
Intelligence to establish for designated Agency employees a retirement
and disability system corresponding to that available to Foreign
Service officers. We have studied most carefully the subject of an
appropriate retirement program for certain groups of Agency employees
and have concluded that the proposed bill would fulfill our requirements.
Consequently, I consider its enactment into law essential to the effec-
tive performance of our mission,
I am aware of the normal procedures required in the processing of
proposed legislation. I believe this bill warrants special consideration
and I urgently request you to give this matter high priority since we

session of the Congress. If there is any additional information needed
or if there is any way this Agency can assist in your consideration of
the proposed bill, I assure you of our willingness to cooperate in
every way possible.
Faithfully yours,
Marshall S. Carter
