Honorable William J. Casey
Director of Central Intelligence
Washington, D.C. 20505
Dear Mr. Casey:
L
With over a year now having passed since enactment of the CIA Spouses
Retirement Equity Act, it is an appropriate time to inquire into the operation
of the Act to determine if it is being implemented as intended by Congress and
if it has had any ill effects on the Agency's mission.
Therefore, it is requested that you submit to the Committee a written
report which, in addition to any matter you wish to discuss, contains:
(1) A description of what steps were taken by the CIA to
publicize the Act's provisions to current and former
employees and their current and/or former spouses;
(2) A description of what, if any, steps were taken to
insure notice to those former spouses divorced before
15 November 1982 whose rights to seek a survivor annuity
expired on 15 November 1983;
(3) The number of former spouses referred to in item 2
above who sought the annuity before 15 November 1983;
(4) Your opinion as to whether it would be appropriate to
retroactively extend the 15 November 1982 deadline;
(5) A description of the process established to inform
spouses on how to apply for benefits under the Act and how
to obtain information concerning the salary and pension of
the employee spouse; and
(6) A description of the steps taken since the
Intelligence Committee hearings of March and April, 1982,
to improve communications between the CIA and the spouses
of its employees. 12
In addition, it is requested that you review the personal history
"vignettes" submitted to the Committee by several former spouses prior to the
March, 1982, hearings to determine if they can be declassified and made public.
