MEMORANDUM-FOR: ADRS
SUBJECT : Authority for Wage Schedule Increases
REFERENCE : Memo from o Chief, PMCD, dated 9 August5l9J5GINTL
Subject; ega u ority for Wage Board Schedule
Increases for CIA Employees
1. In response to referent memorandum, this will advise that the
authority for adjustment of wage grade increases or adjustments in pay
and benefits is based on administrative agreement.
2. Under the Coordinated Federal Wage System (CFWS) implemented by
Executive Order in 1968, CIA was not exempt. Mr. Robert Wattles, the
then Director of Personnel, requested and received authority for excep-
tion from inspection and review from the Civil Service Commission. Sub-
sequently, Public Law 92-392 established the Federal Wage System (FWS)
to replace the CFWS and specified CIA as an exempt Agency from its cover-
age. Please note that the WP system is a special schedule under the FWS.
The DOD Wage Fixing Authority is the source of wage information for the
FWS (including the WP system).
3. Attached are documents which reflect the origin and continuing
basis for the GP system. These documents continue in effect. The Gov-
ernment Printing Office (GPO) provides the majority of the wage informa-
tion from which the GP and GA wage schedules are adjusted. Other rates
in the GP and GA systems are constructed internally on the basis of
classification actions, or on the basis of wage notifications received
from the Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
4. Therefore, in answer to your specific question, all wage sched-
ule adjustments are implemented under the administrative authorities of
the DCI as specified in 50 USC 403J.

ministrative oversight, error, or delay, the

the date it was properly due.
(2) When an improper personnel action is
corrected in accordance with a mandatory stat-
utory or regulatory requirement, the waiting
period is not extended and begins on the date
it would have, begun had the improper action
not occurred.
S8-6. APPLICATION OF WAGE
SCHEDULES
a. General. An employee occupying a wage
job must be paid at an appropriate rate estab-
lished for the grade of his job on a wage schedule
which. is autllorized for application within the
local wage area,. unless excepted under other
provisions of this subchapter.
b. Effecting new or revised wage schedules.
The head of each activity in the wage area
places new or revised wage schedules into effect
on the date specified on the schedule by the
lead agency for all covered employees of the
activity within the local wage area.
-(1) New or revised wage schedules are effec-
tive-simultaneously'for all covered employees
in an activity at: the beginning of the first full
shift on the effective ..date specified.
(2) Thus the new or revised wage schedules
are effected on the same date for all covered
wage employees of an activity even though
staggered pay periods are used.
c. Application of revised wage schedules to
employees. In applying a revised schedule, the
scheduled rate of pay of an employee' who is
paid at one of 'the step rates of his grade on
the old schedule is adjusted to the scheduled
rate of pay established ,for the same step of his
grade on.the'revised wage schedule.
(1) Except as provided in (2) below, and in
subchapter S9, if the employee has been re-
ceiving a rate above the maximum scheduled
rate on the old schedule, his pay will be ad-
jostecl as follows:
If an. eniployi~e"s existing rate of pay
re i'eived under the old schedule exceeds
the maximum scheduled rate on the
revised schedule, he continues to receive
the higher rate.
-If the rate received under the old
schedule is identical with or below the
maximum stop rate on the revised wage
schedule, the employee's rate of pay
will be fixed at the maximum step rate
of his grade on the revised schedule.
(2) If the employee has been receiving a
retained rate under subchapter S10 which is
above the maximum scheduled rate on the old
schedule, his pay will be adjusted as follows:
-If the existing rate of pay received under
the old schedule exceeds the maximum
scheduled rate on the revised schedule,
the employee.'s retained rate of pay is
increased by an amount equalling one-
half of the amount of the pay increase
applicable to the maximum scheduled
rate of his grade. (In computing the
amount of the increase, fractions of a
cent under one-half are dropped and
fractions of one-half or more are rounded
to the next whole cent.)
-If the rate of pay received under the old
schedule is identical with or below the
maximum step rate on the revised wage
schedule, the employee's rate of pay is
fixed at the maximum scheduled rate of
his grade on the revised schedule.
(3) No employee shall be required to suffer
a hardship because of the delayed application
of a pay schedule. Accordingly, no retroactive
change will be made if the actions taken and
payments made during the period of retro-
activity are more advantageous to the em-
Fyloyee than the rate of pay resulting from a
new schedule.

Dear Mr. Dulles:
Thank you for your letter of July 4 concerning the construction
of a new headquarters building for the Central Intelligence Agency
and the consolidation of all printing and reproduction facilities
which are now serving the agency with classified printing.
We shall be very glad to enter into discussions in order
to develop a plan which can be implemented at the appropriate time
in the future. I have designated Mr. Harry D. Merold, Production
Manager, to represent me in this matter. Mr. Merold is currently
on leave through July 16, but he will contact Colonel White, your
representative, shortly after his return.
I appreciate very much the friendly tone of your letter,
and I am sure that we shall be able to work this matter out to the
entire satisfaction of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Blattenberger:
As you probably know, the Central Intelligence Agency has been
authorized to construct a new headquarters building and our plans
are proceeding for this facility to be located on the Bureau of
Public Roads Research property in the vicinity of Langley, Virginia.
In line with our over-all objective to consolidate all of our
headquarters personnel and activities in one building, we antici-
pate consolidating all of the printing and reproduction facilities
which now service the Agency with classified printing. While it
will probably be about three years before we actually move to our
headquarters, the architect is now in the process of drawing
detailed plans and specifications. Plans for our classified
printing facility must, therefore, be completed in the very near
future.
In asmuch as the GPO-State Service Printing Plant located in
the basement of this Agency's Administration Building at 2430 "E"
Street, N. W., is now doing a substantial part of our classified
printing, I believe that it would be mutually advantageous for our
representatives to meet at an early date to discuss this matter and
to work out a plan which can be implemented at the appropriate time
with a minimum of inconvenience to both agencies. If this is agree-
able to you, Colonel L. K. White, one of my Deputy Directors, will
be glad to represent me in this matter. Colonel White may be reached

Hon. Allen W. Dulles

Dear Mr. Dulles:
Your letter of November 19, 1956, proposes the transfer to the Central
Intelligence Agency of the Government Printing Office printing plant located in
your administrative building.
The language of the proposed transfer is satisfactory to me and I hereby
concur in and recommend approval by the joint Committee on Printing of the
proposal contained in your letter of November 19, 1956, supported by Annexes
A, B, and C. Please note that I have added approximately 357 items of machinery
and equipment to Annexes A and C. All of these items have been fully depreciated
except item K6480 in Annex C, which is for a rack that was manufactured in 1955
with $154.09 still remaining to be depreciated.
Subject to approval of the joint Committee on Printing, and immediately
thereafter, I suggest that representatives of the Central Intelligence Agency and
the Government Printing Office apprise all employees of the subject printing
plant of the plan to transfer control of the plant to the Central Intelligence Agency,
at which time all employees might be urged to accept transfer to the Central
Intelligence Agency to provide uninterrupted service by that plant. The approxi-
mately 70 employees who accepted assignment from the Government Printing
Office since February 1, 1947, when the plant was placed under Government
Printing Office management, should be advised of their prerogative to transfer
to the Central Intelligence Agency rolls or return to the Government Printing
Office. This would be in keeping with the policy of the Government Printing Office
to insure that employees who were requested to accept assignment to the subject
printing plant have their interests fully protected by the Government Printing
Office.

The lists of supplies, etc., which would be transferred to the Central
Intelligence Agency will be prepared by the Government Printing Office at the
time of transfer of the plant.
It is my opinion that the interests of the Government will be served
best by transferring the operations of this plant to the Central Intelligence
Agency in view of the impending relocation and your plan to consolidate this
plant with other printing units now operated by your Agency.

STATINTL
1. Background: By Agreement between the DCI and The Public Printer, approved
~y the joint Congressional Committee on Printing, the State Serv-
ice-GPO Plant located in the Administration Building is to be
transferred to CIA. Personnel in the plant have the option of
transferring to CIA or returning to-FPO if they had been assigned
to this plant from the Central GPO Office. This group comprises
roughly 60 personnel. Other GPO personnel which include per-
sonnel who were employed in or who. had.been employed for duty
in the plant have no choice but to accept transfer to CIA, roughly ...
60 personnel. The approximate 120 personnel all have a number
of clearances including the AEC "Q" clearance, and represent a
team of highly skilled and hard to recruit craftsman. Director
of Logistics considers it important that the maximum number of
personnel possible be transferred to CIA.
2. Action Taken: In view of the necessity to determine the number of personnel
who would agree to transfer to CIA so that our recruiting could
be started to make up the difference, the Chief, Printing Services
Division, OL, arranged for a series of discussions with groups'
of approximately 12 personnel each from this plant to explain what
was happening to them, dispell rumors, and present the pros and
cons of their entering on duty with CIA. At each such meeting the
following were present in addition to the GPO personnel concerned:

The following question-answer period covered a number of
questions. in the personnel field which the undersigned attempted
to supply the answers. Many questions were answered only t, ?nta-
tively pending final determination. The questions presented.:,re
listed in the order of recurrence among the nine groups of person-
nel; and in the order of estimated importance to the GPO personnel
concerned:
Pay, Hours of Work, Leave.
1. CIA Pay Policy - how will pay rates be set?
Answer: CIA will establish pay rates for printing jobs at the
identical rates paid by GPO. This means that when
the GPO employees negotiate a rate for a specialty
with the Public Printer, this -rate will be adini.nnis -
tratively adopted by CIA for the trade. For pay
rates for the few (one or two) trades which are pe-
culiar to the plant, the employee groups will be al-..
lowed to negotiate with CIA Personnel Office. This
is in keeping with long established practice for this
type of activity,
2. Night Differential and Overtime? The higher differentials now
approved by GPO for overtime, night differential, holiday
work, etc. will be continued by CIA.
STATINTL
3. Payment in Cash be continued? An unusually strong feeling
for the continued payment of wages in cash, a GPO practice,
was evidenced. explained that this had been
requested but had met with a cool reception by CIA payroll.
However, he pledged that the employees would be given
time-off to cash their checks in the CIA Credit Union.
4. Will CIA adopt the 37 1/2 hour week expected to be standard
in GPO soon? Probably CIA will do so,- but if it is necessary to
continue a 40 hour week, the pay rate will be adjusted to

be counted is overtime, as requests by sever.-al employe.
was not settled. (Letter to General Counsel ii th,2
of the 37 1/2 hour week was forwarded on january)
5. Will GPO practice of crediting all Annual Leave for a calern a-c
year at the beginning of the year be continued? CIA practice
is to credit leave as earned; however, all leave which w i l
be earned during a year can be advanced if approved by
supervisors and Personnel.
6. Will GPO practice of advancing 30 days sick leave be continued?
Tentative answer was that CIA practice was to advance ric;c
leave when necessary. -
STATINTL
C
7. Will Apprenticeship program and rates be continued? In keeping
with the progressive training program outlined by
the apprenticeship program and rates would be continued on
the same basis as GPO. The policy of advancement from
within was stressed.
8. Why can't CIA Printing employees participate on wage negotiations
with t e Public Printer along with the GPO employee groups?
GPO quickly answered "no" to this question on the basis of GPO
policy and the fact that Bureau of Engraving employees are
paid GPO rates without having a part in the negotiation.
Specifically the Kiess Act confines negotiating privileges to
employees of the GPO.

The lists of supplies, etc., which would be transferred to' the Central
Intelligence Agency will be prepared by the Government Printing Office at th e
time of transfer of the plant.
It is my opinion that the interests of the Government will be served
best by transferring the operations of this plant to the Central Intelligence
Agency in view'of the impending relocation and your plan to consolidate this
plant with other printing units now operated by your Agency.
Sincerely,
RAYMOND BLATTENBERGER

MEMORANDUM FOR: DeWty DhvcW for Sugmt
SUBJECT : Asses Regarding Rights and Privileges et mil Servies
to Certain Personnel Ia the Printing Services Division,
Office of Logiaes
1. TbIs mem m Is for your Information only,
2. In Jury 1957, the Swe Service - Goy zt Pr ing Plate. located
in the Administration BuJding (now South Building), rnaa transferred to this Agency.
In an effort to maiigtain continuity at the plant. this Agency persuaded 101 Govern-
meat Printing Mee en .ployees to accept Agency employment. At that time, assur-
ances were made to each employee by senior personnel of this Agency that the
rights and privileges enjoyed with the Government Printing Office would be retained.
Enclosed at Attachment I is a Memorandum for the Record and a letter from the
Public Printer outlining these assurances.
3.- The major difference today between the rights enjoyed under the Govern,-
ment Printing Office and the Agency concerns the Agency's policy regarding retire-
ment age. Of the 101 p el ginally !transferred to the Agency, 57 remain
on duty. The three employees of this 57 normally expected to retire is 1968 have
requested extensions. Similarly, the majority of personnel in this group expected
to retire In 1969 have Indicated a desire to remain to duty. Based on the older-
standing they received when entering on day, they expect to work past 60 years of
age as long as they perform sadefactory service and remain in good health.. Resent-
raent has already resulted because these pers e1 must request extensions for the
rights and privileges already assured them by the Agency. As you are aware, this
group is unionized and, on appeal, would probably find support with both the Civil
Service Commission and the Public Printer.
4. Enclosed at Attachment 21e a listing of the 57 individuals ref ing an
duty and pertinent facts concerning due of birth, service date, end date of pected
retire under Agency policy. In the future. particularly in regard to requests
for extensions of these personnel, this matter will be brought to your attention apft.
