In accordance with your request, subject Bill has been

Your opinion as to how the passage of FUG 3332 will affect members of
the Armed Forces who`are assigned to CIA, especiallk,, with respect to
members of the Armed Forces stationed outside- of th~o United States, will
be greatly appreciated.
Extending such benefits to members of the Armed Forces who are attached
to CIA and stationed overseas may be detrimental to operations in view of
the limited number of personnel assigned over?eas.
It is srgpested that consideration be given to including somethir_2 of
this nature in connection with the Agency Career Service Legislative rrogram.
