Dear Mr. Bell: In his letter to you of 2 August 1962, the Director of Central Intelligence submitted for clearance by the Bureau of the Budget a draft bill "To amend the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949, as amended, and for other purposes." Enclosed as Attachment 1. is an estimate of the costs of the proposed legislation prepared by the Agency after discussion with persons experienced in the field in the Department of State and the Civil Service Commission. For your assistance in considering the proposed bill, there is enclosed, as Attachment 2, a chart which is a comparison of the pertinent provisions of the Foreign Service Retirement System and the Civil Service Retirement Act. This chart is based on a similar chart appearing in the Report of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs in the 2nd session of the 86th Congress. The chart was prepared at that time in connection with proposed amendments to the Foreign Service Act of 1946, as amended, relating to the retirement system which pro- posals were subsequently enacted into law.

Simply serving a tour abroad will not auto- matically or of itself qualify an individual for coverage under the new system. Of the total group, we have estimated that a 25X9A2 maximum of only will demonstrate the required career orientation and fully satisfy the eligibility criteria. This reflects the Agency concept of strict application of the criteria. I would like to express my appreciation for the efforts of your office in assisting the Agency and the prompt attention which our request has received. Faithfully ydurs, . Marshall S.
