TALKING POINTS FOR MEETING WITH
CONGRESSMAN HAMILTON
28 JANUARY 1985
THERE ARE TWO BASIC PERSONNEL ISSUES WHICH I RECOMMEND
YOU COVER WITH CONGRESSMAN HAMILTON:
UNIQUENESS AND RETIREMENT
UNIQUENESS
IT WILL BE A VERY SUCCESSFUL VISIT IF CONGRESSMAN HAMILTON
LEAVES WITH AT LEAST A SENSE THAT WE MAY NOT BE SIMPLY ANOTHER
ELEMENT IN THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY, OBVIOUSLY, IT WILL NOT
BE POSSIBLE TO CONVERT HIM IN THE FOUR OR FIVE MINUTES YOU WILL
HAVE AVAILABLE FOR PERSONNEL ITEMS. HOWEVER, IF IN THAT TIME,
THE UNIQUENESS SEED CAN BE PLANTED THEN WE CAN HAVE BASIS ON WHICH
TO FERTILIZE THAT PLANT OVER THE MONTHS AHEAD, POINTS TO INCLUDE:
-THE MOST RIGOROUS PRE-EMPI0YMFNT CCPPPMTrJ oonrcee
THE IINTTFn iTATCQ

AS I SAID AT THE BEGINNING, THE STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE HERE IS
SIMPLY TO GET CONGRESS HAMILTON TO AGREE THAT HIS COMMITTEE WILL
EXERCISE OVERSIGHT OVER OUR RETIREMENT PROGRAM, RECOMMEND THAT
YOU REVIEW BRIEFLY WITH HIM THE HISTORIC NEED FOR AN EARLY RETIRE-
MENT PLAN FOR BURNED OUT OLD CASE OFFICERS (AND SECRETARIES).
STRESS THE ANXIETY LEVEL IN THIS PLACE DUE TO THE THREATS TO THAT
RETIREMENT PROGRAM AND THAT WHILE WE UNDERSTAND THE BUDGET DEFJECIT
QUESTIONS, ETC. WE HOPE THAT THE COMMITTEE WILL ENSURE OUR UNIQUE
REQUIREMENTS ARE REVIEWED BY THE COMMITTEE BEFORE ANY RETIREMENT
PACKAGE IS PASSED ON THE HILL,
