MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director-Comptroller
SUBJECT . Implementation of the CIA Retirement and Disability System
1. This memorandum submits five directives for your approval and
signature.
2. In accordance with discussion with we have drafted
a memorandum from you to each of the Deputy Directors urging that they
give priority attention to completing the screening phase of designating
eligible on-duty employees as participants in the CIA Retirement and
Disability System. In addition, we have prepared a directive from you to
the Director of Personnel requiring accelerated scheduling of the screening
process with a target date of 30 April to complete this process.
3. Our best estimate of the number of cases still to be reviewed by
the Career Services is~ neludin a backlog of almost Ocases from
the "call up" lists issues' date. (The last lists were issued in
October and included employees age 40 and over.) To date, about 20 per
cent of the employees screened have been eligible for designation; we
believe the rate will be somewhat higher in the remaining group--at least
25 per cent. If this estimate in correct, we will have aboutiasee
to process through the Board and relatively few of these will require
individual debate.
4. Thus far, our CIA Retirement Staff has been able to keep current
with the workload (either nominations or "red lined", i.e., "not qualified",
cases) received from the Career Services. Anticipating a heavier load
in response to your memorandum, we have detailed two additional people to
the Staff (a Personnel Assistant and a Clerk-Typist). With this staffing,
we believe we can process 100 or more cases per week for Board action and
keep up with the paperwork involved in implementing Board action as well
as processing the "red line" cases which do not require Board review.
At this rate, and assuming full cooperation from the Career Services in
submitting cases prom tly, we should be able to complete the screening
job in four months. (If additional staffing is required temporarily, we
will supply it although it may result in a Blow-down elsewhere in the
Office of Personnel.)
5. We are also suggesting that a weekly report be submitted to you
through the Deputy Director for Support. This report would include the
following data:
a. Employees screened to date;
b. Employees designated to date;
c. Employees "red lined" to date;
d. Cases pending Board review;

e. Cases pending Career Service action;
1'. Retirements to date, by type.
The pending cases reported under e. above would be reported by Career
Service and "aged" to highlight backlogs.
6. A considerable number of the backlog cases have been delayed by
the Career Services for clarification of the types of domestic duty which
constitute "qualifying service." The Clandestine Services Career Service
has developed a series of guidelines for this purpose which will be offered
for approval by the CIA Retirement Board at its next meeting (4 January
1966). Acceptance of these guidelines in their present or a modified form
should help greatly in expediting action on some of the more difficult
cases.
7. It is suggested that you approve and release the attached
directives.
