Members Named For New CIA Retirement Board The'DCI has designated 8 members -
3 from DD P, 2 each from DD /I and DDS, and 1 from DD/S&T - for appointment to
the CIA Retirement Board that will advise and assist in administering the
Agency's new Retirement Act. The Director of Personnel will serve as Chairman
of the Board. While final steps are being completed to secure approval for the
regulation governing the new retirement system, the Board is moving ahead with
a number of tasks so that the system can be put into operation as soon as the
regulation is approved.
Although the. Board will not be officially appointed, before the regulation
is approved, members began on 11 March a series of weekly meetings to get ac-
quainted with the principles and stand:,.rds of the new retirement system, the
policies and procedures under which it will operate, and the duties and respon-
sibilities of the Board itself. At the same time, a'smafl Retirement Staff has
been established in Personnel to continue at an accelerated pace devising forms.,
procedures, etc. and setting up the personnel machinery that will be required in
administering the system. This Staff also provides secretariat support to the
CIA Retirement Board.

by the end of the Easter vacation period. So far, estimated requirements for
summer employees total almost 300 -- somewhat more than the 200-250 estimate
used in notifying external authorities of the scope of the program.
NPIC Recruitment The 3-day conference which our Eastern and Southeastern
recruiters had with NPIC operating officials 22-24+ March proved very worthwhile.
Discussions bore out the fact that the recruiting gap that troubled us through-
out the first half of FY '65 is beginning to close. However, if NPIC's fore-
casts of future expansion are accurate, they leave no roan whatever for let-up
in this area. Instead, for the foreseeable future, NPIC will continue to be a
priority, year-round target.
March '65 CTP Class As the JOT Program was getting a change-of-name (to
"Career Training Program"), it began on 22 March the second of its special
classes held in the fall and spring each year to acconunodate the enlarged mem-
bership of the new program. 32 Career Trainees formed the spring class -- 25
men (9 of them married) and 7 women. 11 are "internals", 7 are military. The
youngest is 23, the oldest 30, the average age 26. Every member holds a bache-
lor's degree (representing 27 different schools including the University of
Hawaii) and 9 hold graduate degrees, each from a different university. On grad-
uation the trainees expect the following assignments:
DD/P - 16
DD/I - 12
DDS - 4

2. RETIREE PLAC M
Briefings Given on New Program During March the Chief of the Recruitment
and Retiree Placement Division briefed both the Ad Hoc Retiree Placement Commit-
tee and the Agency Retirement Board (for Civil Service retirees) on our new re-
tiree placement program and discussed with them a number of proposals being
considered in connection with the program.
3. SALARY ADMINISTRATION
GAO Oka s "Saved Pay" for Wage Board Em to ees On 15 February the Comptrol-
ler General ruled (B-155935) that "saved rates' for Wage Schedule employees are
legal even though no statute provides for such rates. GAO thus agreed with De-
fense (which requested the ruling) that agency heads have discretionary authority
to make exceptions to prevailing wage criteria when required by public interest
and a basis for the exception exists in industrial practices. In effect, the
ruling extends to employees in trades, crafts, and laboring occupations the sane
benefit GS employees got in 1958 when the Salary Retention Act allowed them (under
certain conditions) to retain their existing pay for as long as 2 years after
being reduced in grade as a result of reorganization, reclassification, reduction
in force, etc.

The GAO ruling validates regulations that the military departments initiated
as early as-July 1963; but it points out some inconsistencies among the 3 ser-
vices to be adjusted and states that pay retention benefits for Wage Schedule
employees should conform closely to those prescribed by Congress for GS employees.
The Army's regulation (which CIA follows) appears to satisfy GAO's standard.
Should it be changed, however, during the forthcoming DOD review, we will of
course consider corresponding changes in our own regulation.
