academic year, it fell by 7.5o for blacks and 9.8% for
Hispanics. This will, of course, make recruiting more
difficult. (The figures are provided by the Census Bureau

8. Travel: I)uring the past three months, the number
of domestic reservations made by the Central Processing
Branch increased on the average of over 100 per month as
compared with the same period last year. United Airlines,
one of the most active domestic airlines, was on strike for
the past two months; consequently, the strike, coupled with
the increase in reservations, made for an extremely active
domestic reservation desk in the Central Processing Branch.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
FROM: Harry E. Fitzwater
Director of Personnel
1, Retirement A airs Division, and
, pre-retirement counselors
,
were guests at a briefing and luncheon sponsored by officials
of Action for Independent Maturity (AIM) on Tuesday, 22 May
1979. The principal host was Program
Director of AIM and a former Agency employee in the 1950's. (U)
AIM: is a division of the American Association of
Retired Persons (AARP), which has a membership of 12 million
and is one of the fastest growing organizations in the country.
AIM has developed comprehensive course manuals and audio-visual
materials for an eight-session Retirement Planning Seminar.
The. package of seminar material is available to any employer
wishing to conduct retirement planning programs for its employees.
AIM also conducts Retirement Preparation Training Programs to
help organizations and employers who want to provide expert
guidance to. trainers and/or counselors. In addition, AIM has
produced a series of 13 guide books which are designed to help
an individual enjoy the middle years and plan for successful
retirement. Our retirement counselors occasionally use several
of these guide books in the individual sessions they conduct.
It is interesting to note that AIM and AARP officials acknowledge
that CIA has been one of the leaders in the pre-retirement planning
field during the past decade. (U)

2. Retirement Medallion: A recent submission of bids
for a new order of retirement medallions reflects that the
cost of spot silver has risen to $7.54 per troy ounce. Based
on this quoted price, the basic medallion price, which was
$47.35 in November 1977, is now $74.59 per medallion. We
have now been advised by the Procurement Division, Office of
Logistics, that they can secure .999 fine silver, which has
been reclaimed by the Navy, at a cost of $.83 per troy ounce.
This silver is of equal quality as that provided by our
contractor and they will allow us to provide the basic metal.
By using this source, we will be able to reduce the cost of
the basic medallion to approximately $17.60 per medallion.
This will allow us to secure four times as many medallions
for the same budgeted monies. (U/AIUO)
3. Hiring Minorities: Deputy Director
of Personnel for Recruitment and Placement, met on 24 May 19
STATSPEC
with the Director,
and his senior staff to discuss hiring practices, particularly of
25X1A minorities. This was in res onse to an EEO Seminar-conducted
STATSPEC in late March 1979. reports that it was a very
worthwhile session. (U/AIUO)
4. Federal Employees Group Life Insurance: A House
Civil Service subcommittee will of hearings eginning 12 June
1979 on legislation to liberalize substantially the FEGLI life
insurance benefits of Federal employees. If passed, this would
allow younger employees to purchase greater amounts of regular
FEGLI life insurance and all employees to purchase FEGLI's
optional life insurance up to five times the amount of their
basic pay. In addition, the Government's share of premium
costs would increase from 33 1/3% to 40% and the decline of
life insurance policy values after age 65 would ease from the
present 25% minimum to 40%. Also, employees could purchase
life insurance for family members. (U)
5. United Airlines: According to information from United
Airlines, ~t ey will be back in full operation by the end of
this week. This will ease many of the booking problems which
the Central Processing Branch has encountered since the strike
began on 31 March 1979. United also advised that all engine
bolts on their DC-10 aircraft have been checked. (U)
6. Redskins Tickets: Applications for the Employees
Activities Association's Redskins tickets drawing continue to
come in with over 1500 already having been received. Members
have until 8 June 1979 to turn in their forms to the EAA Office
to have a chance at purchasing two tickets to a regular season
