The Honorable Frank Carlson
Chairman
Committee on Post Office h Civil Service
United States Senate
Washington Z5, D. G.
During our luncheon meeting this Spring, you will recall that I
mentioned the fact that if the Congress were to pass legislation grant-
ing a pay increase to Government employees, we would like to utilize
that vehicle to repeal Section 9 of the Central Intelligence Agency Act
of 1949 (Public Law 110, 81st Congress), as amended by the sect of lf:
August 1950 (Public Law 697, 81st Congress). Legislation which the
Congress has enacted since the passage of the Central Intelligence
Agency Let of 1949 has removed the necessity for ecti 9. and each
subsequent revision of the pay scale makes it necessary for us to seek
an amen ent to the section to keep pace with Government-wide legis-
lation. In order to meet this problem the House i o mitteee on Post
Office & Civil Service has included a repeal of Section 9 of the Central
Intelligence Agency Lct of 1949, as Section 602(b) of 3. 2665 as re-
ported by the House on 22 July 1954.
In addition, the House has included an exemption for CIS from
the Performance Rating i ct of 1950, as Section 6
reported. The reasons for requesting this exemption are set forth in
my letter to you of 5 June 1954, and it would be. appreciated final
action on this legislation, if such action would include the provisions
of Section 602, as indicated above.
of = itle III (Federal Employees Incentive =,wards) of
S. 2665, as reported by the House Committee, indicates that the ;civil
Service Commission "`shall inspect and review" the operations of the
Incentive Awards Plans established under the provisions of that Title.

td review will raise CZ the identical problems
he protection of intelligence sources and methods as were
the Commission's authority to inspect Perforn ancc Rating
Plans. Therefore, it would be appreciated if Title Ul could carry a
proviso substantially as follows:
"Provided, That the Director of Central intelligence is
re4 to establish an incentive awards plan under
this Title without inspection and review of its operation
by the Commission.'
The assistance which has been rendered to us in this matter
by Chairman Rees and yourself is greatly appreciated.
deest regards.
