CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
WASHINGTON 25. D.-C.
OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
7 August 1962
Honorable David E. Bell
Director
Bureau of the Budget
Washington 25, D. C.
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. Enclosed as Attachment 3
are selected cases which illustrate the annuities payable in various
situations under the Foreign Service Retirement System as contrasted
with the Civil Service Retirement Act.
As a matter of additional information, the total number' of Aaenr-

qualified under the Agency criteria to come within the proposed
retirement system. 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. Carter
