MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Support
In confirmation of our conversation of 6 Sep-
tember, I do not see the necessity of extending the Director of Per-
sonnel's temporary delegation of authority for short-term extensions
beyond mandatory retirement age for participants in the CIA Retire-
ment and Disability System. Certainly sufficient time has elapsed
for all career services to have processed the kinds of cases envisaged
when this authority was originally delegated on 29 June 1965.
The Director of Personnel is requested to
ensure that all such cases are identified without further delay and
processed on a priority basis. In addition, I should like to request
that he establish a reasonable deadline for the initial screening of
all rosters to establish participants in the System with the under-
standing that any case not processed by the deadline will require a
special explanation to the Director of Central Intelligence.
Closely related to this matter is the re-
examination of our over-all retirement policies which I requested
on 19 July 1966. This examination should include as a minimum a
careful review of our existing regulations for retirement under the
Civil Service System, the recent pay act which provided for optional
retirement at age fifty-five with thirty years of Government service,
and the CIA Retirement and Disability System.

MEMORANDUM FOR Executive Director-Comptroller.;`.
SUBJECT : Temporary Delegation of Authority for Short-Term
Extensions Beyond Mandatory Retirement Age for
Participants in the CIA Retirement and Disability
System
REFERENCE : Memo from D/Pere to Director, dated 12 Jul 66, Same
Subject
1. This memorandum is for information in response to your questions
concerning the referenced memorandum.
First, as to the delay to completing the screening process:
You may recall that in January of this year you released a
A
,
memorandum to each of the Deputy Directors urging that they give
priority attention to completing the screening phase of designating on-
duty employees as participants in the System. The Career Services
responded well and their efforts are reflected in the data set forth in the
attachment, which shows the number of cases pending by individual
Career Services as of 23 February 1966, when the final rosters were
issued, and as of 16 August 1966,
b. The data in the attachment indicate that the major backlog of
pending cases is in the Clandestine Services Career Service. Officials
in that Service had decided earlier not to "red-line" or declare
ineligible during the initial screening any employee with insufficient
overseas service whose domestic service might later be determined to
be qualifying service. It was also desirable not to precipitate
numerous questions about domestic qualifying duty and possibly
generate appeals during this initial processing period. The CS Career
Service is now in the process of releasing all of their cases, and their
backlog is being reduced rapidly.
3. Efforts to complete the screening process:
a. A regular follow up has been conducted with individual Career
Services in an effort to expedite the completion of the initial screening
phase.

b. From the total of 0 employees on the initial call-up rosters,
only ~ases were pending as of 16 August 1966. II of these are

in the Clandestine Service Career Service. Assuming that the screen-
ing efforts of this Career Service continue, it is estimated that the
over-all screening process can be completed by 30 September 1966.
