By way of background, the
Deputy Director of
Age Discrimination Act prohibited
Central Intelligenc
e
employment discrimination against
6;
persons age 40 to 70. At the
request of the Agency, the CIA
Act of 1949, as amended, has
7,
been further amended to authorize
Director of Central
the Director to specify an
Intelligence
upper age limit for Career Trainee
and to set additional age criteria
for original appointments to
other positions concerned with
p,
operational activities. After
careful consideration, we believe
D/OP
age 32 should be the upper limit
10.
for Career Trainees. We will, of
course, ensure that age criteria
established by the Director

of Personnel for operational

positions will be authorized
only when fully justified.
