TrrLE V--GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 501 (a) amends the provision of the National Security Act
of 1947 (Sec. 303(a)) limiting to $50 the daily compensation paid
members or advisory committees appointed by the National Security
compensation ceiling at the rate of the daily equivalent of the pay of
a GS-18 government employee. " - _ -
Section 501 (b) makes technical corrections to reflect the renumber-
ing of those sections of Title 18. U.S. Code cited in Section 303(b) of
the National Security Act of 1947.
to permit the Director of Central Intelligence to pay benefits and
allowances to CIA officers, employees, detailees and assignees com-
parable to those paid members of the Foreign Service. The effect of
this provision is to permit the Director to provide similar allowances
and benefits to CIA personnel abroad as those given to Foreign
Service officers and to subsequently modify those provisions consistent.
with changes to the Foreign Service Act any other statute granting
benefits and allowances to the Foreign Service.
The subsection also permits the Director to pay other allowances
and benefits to CIA personnel in conection with certain specific aspects
of authorized intelligence activities-i.e., travel, personnel and physi-
cal security, operations and cover. However, this relatively broad
grant of authority may be used only where the need for the allowances
or benefits arises from special aspects of one or more of the enumerated
intelligence activities. The benefit in question must be related directly
to one of these intelligence activities and must be required to perform
effectively that intelligence activity. The committee does not. intend
that the special requirements of intelligence activities required by the
provision be so unique to those activities that no other government
employees can have been similarly affected, but conversely, the Direc-
tor's authority cannot be used to provide payments under this provi-
sion when the benefit is such that it meets a problem faced by signifi-
cant numbers of government employees outside intelligence work. The
committee will scrutinize this aspect of the provision to insure that
any imbalance of benefits that may develop among government per-
sonnel is the direct result of intelligence needs and does not stem
from similarly experienced problems among other groups of govern-
ment personnel.
The provision also makes clear that, when benefits related to the re-
location of CIA personnel are provided for moves within the United
States or moves which, in whole or in part, are treated as moves within
the United States, reimbursement of such moves may not. exceed rates
established by statute for all government employees.
Lastly, the subsection permits the Director to establish travel revu-
lations for CIA officers, employees, detailees and assignees which
would permit payment of travel expenses inconsistent with govern-
mentwide travel procedures where the Director found that an-excep-
tion to those general procedures was import.Ant. to the performance
of intelligence functions. Thus, for instance, if the use of government,
travel vouchers identifying the users as CIA personnel would be incon-

sistent with the cover of a CIA officer or the conduct of an intelligence
mission, the Director could use this authority to provide appropriate
travel arrangements that do not have this effect. The committee at-
taches great importance to the finding that must be made by the
Director, because, as with all the provisions of this subsection, its con-
cern is to avoid authorizing special benefits for certain government
personnel for which there is not an important intelligence rationale.
All these new provisions of the subsection are subject to the condi-
tions that members of the Armed Services assigned To duty with the
CIA may not receive benefits under this subsection and those provided
to military personnel under Title 37. United States Code. Absent this
reservation, members of the Armed Services could well receive two
kinds of travel benefits that could aggregate to more than those avail-
able to any other government employees. The committee wishes to
avoid this result and has provided that the Director and the Secretary
of Defense shall adopt joint regulations to receive this end. These
regulations should make a judicious choice between benefits so as to
provide the recipient"-, with those benefits which best parallel those
received by other government employees-especially CIA personnel-
working under similar circumstances. This may result in some differ-
ences in benefits available in different geographic locations, but. the
mmittee expects that these will be minimal.
In addition, all the authorities provided by the subsection must be
implemented by regulations. These regulations must he provided to
the committee and to its Senate counterpart for a reasonable period
prior to their going into force. A reasonable period in this context
I would be 30 days except in those circumstances where the committees
and the Agency agree that a shorter period is appropriate in light of
the circumstances. Regulations are called for in order that such bene-
fits and allowances as are authorized by regulation be scrutinized to
determine the ways in which the broad authority recommended by the
mmittee will he employed.
Subsection 502 amends tby National Sec rity Agency Act of
1959 to permit Director of a National S urity Agency adopt.
