§3323 — Title 50 War and National Defense | U.S. Code

Summary

The Director of Central Intelligence can use the award power in section 4503 of title 5 to give incentive awards to federal employees and members of the Armed Forces who are detailed or assigned to the Central Intelligence Agency or to the Intelligence Community Staff. That authority works the same way it does for regular CIA and Intelligence Community Staff personnel, and it can apply to people who were assigned on or after a date five years before December 9, 1983. During fiscal year 1987, the Director may use section 4503(2) to give awards to service members who were performing foreign intelligence duties when the conduct that led to the award happened. An award made under section 4503 of title 5 or under this authority may be paid and kept even if section 5536 of title 5 would otherwise block it. The award may still be paid and accepted even if the person dies, separates, retires, or is reassigned away from foreign intelligence duties after the conduct.
