e. The Director of Personnel called Ambassador Roy Atherton, Director
General of the Foreign Service at the Department of State, on 21 December to
check on what the Foreign Service is doing officially in the retirement 25X1
arena. It had been suggested that the Foreign Service take the lead for
overseas agencies in seeking exemption from any general federal retirement
change. Ambassador Atherton said that tie Department of State was working
with its committees and recently had a session with house co ee in
whic retirement was a major issue. The chairman and the staffers seemed
sympathetic. Ambassador Atherton was cooperative and very willing to work
closely with the Agency concerning the retirement issues that will face both
agencies in 1985.
UNC~-?
Office of Personnel representatives met with Mr. William Bacchus of
the State Department to inquire as to where the Department is heading on the
"supplemental" retirement issue. In essence, many of their concerns parallel
ours with respect to desires to protect early retirement features and
maintaining adequate annuity levels to sustain such early retirements. Their
dialogue with contacts in the Administration has not produced any information
as to what proposals might be forthcoming from the OPM or CHB. They do intend
to pursue the issues with their oversight committees and see advantages in
basing their requirements on national security issues. Mr. Bacchus expressed
a desire and willingness to work with the Agency on this issue if that were
perceived as an effective mechanism for achieving mutual goals.
