d Memorandum to Chief Authorizing
cement of Medical Examinations o Household servants
This office has re s ewed the attached proposed communication
and has thoroughly discussed the matter with the Medical Office of
the iAgency and, as a result, concluded that we cannot approve the pro-
posed authorization.
2. There is no authority in Regulations for expenses of this
type and it would set a precedent that would obligate the Agency with
respect to, other areas it the 1)17/A or the Director were to utilize
their special authorities to approve such expenses. Furthermore, such
authorization would be Inconsistent with other civilian organizations
of the Government and iitbuad also be inconsistent with the fact that
CIA, does not pay such expenses with respect to dependents of staff
employees.
-. On the routing and record sheet it is observed that FE (Admin.
has commented to W/P (Admin. ),, "apparently this service is provided
at other points in FL by our doctors or by service doctors." The
Medical Office advises that they only have doctors in about fifteen
locations throughout the world azzi that,, therefore, they could not
come close to providing such service throughout all of the areas. They
also state that it is very doubtful that service doctors would, as a
general rule, provide such medical examinations.
4. The Medical Office and the Office of the Comptroller feel
that periodical medical examinations on household servants of staff
employees is very worth while and should be encouraged, but we do no
believe that they, t be justified at,CSA. expense.
