MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
VIA: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
Executive Director
FROM: Director, Office of Legislative Liaison
SUBJECT: FY85 Intelligence Authorization Bill
1. OMB informed us this morning that they will not
clear the provision in our FY85 Authorization Bill which
would have eliminated a disadvantage suffered by retiring
employees under CIARDS. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1982 provided that the cost-of-living increases
(COLA) for all Federal retirees for FY 83, 84 and 85 be
cut by one half for employees who retire before age 62.
Since CIARDS employees must retire at age 60, this
provision penalizes our CIARDS people for something over
which they have no control, and it was for that reason
that we sought relief from this provision. OMB tells us
that, for policy reasons, the Administration will grant no
exception for any retirement system including some which
have mandatory retirement requirements at age 50.
2. You could appeal OMB's decision to Mr. Stockman
or the President, but I recommend against it. The
likelihood of gaining CIARDS exemption is minimal in the
face of the strong Administration view on this subject and
the actual monetary loss to be incurred by our retirees
under this provision is minimal. OMB tells us that CIARDS
employees caught under this law would lose an average of
$100 a year.
