MEMORMDUM FOR: Chairman, Career Service Committee
FROM : Chairman, Working Group on Career Benefits
SUBJECT : Adjustments to Career Service Program
1. In response to your memorandum of 8 April 1952, this Working
Group has carefully considered the specific points raised in paragraph
3.e. It was noted that the request which was received from the DCI in-
dicates that adjustments to the Career Service Program are to be made
as a result of the Progress Report submitted by the Career Service Com-
mittee on 22 January 1952. It is our assumption, therefore, that the
Final Report of this Working Group submitted on 21 February 1952 was
not the basis on which the adjustments were requested. That Final Re-
port.attempted to formulate an integrated program of career benefits
and contains many background references necessary to a full compre-
hensionof the program. At best, Tab E of the Progress Report of
22 January 1952 which Tab was entitled "Career Benefits Desired by
CIA", is only a summary. and an indication of types of benefits con-
cerning which this Working Group intended to make full recommendations
in its Final Reports
2a Prior to final adoption of the adjustments requested, it is
urgently recommended that full consideration be given, to the contents
of,the Final Report of this Working Group.
3. In response to the request contained in your memorandum, it
is believed that the Final Report, as. previously submitted, can be used
as a basis for adjustment as set forth below.
a. It is stated that additional pay for hazardous duty
should not be included as part of the career service benefits.
Tab C of the Final. Report contains the full recommendation on
this subject and to comply with the request need only be de-
leted. However, it is our firm belief that the recommendations
contained therein should be considered by the appropriate ele-
ments of the Agency looking toward adoption at the earliest
possible time. Considerable study was devoted to this subject
at the specific request of the Career Service Committee and it
is hoped the effort will have served a purpose.
b. It was indicated that the meritorious awards system
should be limited to Class 1 (Clerical and Administrative) and
Class 2 (Specialists). The meritorious awards program as con..
tained in Tab D of the Final Report of.this Working Group need

d. It is stated that legislative requests will be difficult
enough if limited to subparagraphs f, go end he in Tab E which
refers to the following items:
(1) fe refers to pay, within-grade raises and grade
promotions for personnel who are detained involuntari'1y
by foreign governments. It is pointed out in Tab A of
our Final Report that the Department of Defense is spon-
soring a similar bill to meet its needs. It was recom -
mended therein that, in an appropriate manner, CIA support
such bill. That action would eliminate the requirement
of CIA having to introduce in the Congress special legis-
lation in its behalf.
(2) go refers to a more liberal retirement system
and he refers to an appropriate and adequate leave system
for overseas employees. With respect to these items, this
Working Group made no specific recommendations other thin
that set forth in 3.c. above.
4. Paragraph 1 of your memorandum requested that the adjustments
required by the DCI should be incorporated in an appropriate redraft
of our Final Report. In vier of the above statements with respect to
appropriate deletions, it is believed that this memorandum will ade-
quate3y respond to your request.
