MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director
VIA: Deputy Director for Administration
FROM: Robert W. Magee
Director of Personnel
SUBJECT: Retirement Legislation
1. This is to provide you with an update regarding our
recent meeting with Mike O'Neil of HPSCI on the retirement
issue. Basically Mike wanted to outline where the HPSCI
conferees were going on their deliberations on supplemental
retirement. We went to the meeting prepared for the worst; the
news was very positive. Their position centers around six
basic points:
a. New CIARDS-type employees should get the same
benefits as special categories. This effectively
elevates us to the special category level as compared
to existing systems where we receive less than law
enforcement officers, firefighters and air traffic
controllers.
b. Non CIARDS-type employees should be the same as
other Civil Service employees. This is okay because we
understand that the supplemental annuity between age 55
and age 62 will be part of the final legislation.
c. Non-CIARDS Agency employees and DIA/NSA employees
should get same rate as CIARDS while serving overseas.
This was a complete surprise, albeit pleasant. We had
proposed this benefit initially for the Agency and it
was not received very positively. As you know, their
position, as well as OMB's, was that this would not fly
because the benefit was not there for other Agencies
serving overseas. IX

d. Should establish CIA internal administration for
all employees. This obviously coincides with our
desires.
e. Current former spouse entitlements should continue
into new program. There is no objection from our
standpoint to this provision.
f. Regulations on retirement should continue to be
submitted to committee for approval. This maintains
the status quo.
2. The above, combined with what we are hearing on
Senate/House activity in their conference sessions, bodes well
3. There are still a number of issues to work out,
particularly on self-administration and our funding the system
for non-CIARDS types, vis-a-vis the Office of Personnel
Management, and my staff is worrying the details on these
issues. But the general sunnort indicated at this mpptinn w?o
most encouraging.
4. It appears things will begin to move rapidly from this
point with 30 April as the deadline for final legislation. Our
consultants advise that by early March the conferees will have
pretty well wrapped up the Civil Service at large. The
remaining time will be to deal with special categories and work

out the detailed wording of the final legislation. I assume
the staff position reflects the position of the committee, but
this should be nailed down. I suggest we orally confirm this
with Chairman Hamilton in whatever way you and the office of
Congressional Affairs think most appropriate. I recommend we
move ahead quickly.
