in a regular parent-child relationship, under the age of eighteen years, 
or such unmarried child regardless of age w^ho because of physical or 
mental disability incurred before age eighteen is incapable of self-
support, or such unmarried child between eighteen and twenty-two 
years of age who is a student regularly pursuing a full-time course of 
study or training in residence in a high school, trade school, technical 
or vocational institute, junior college, college, university, or comparable 
recognized educational institution. A child whose twenty-second birth-
day occurs prior to July 1 or after August 31 of any calendar year, 
and while he is regularly pursuing such a course of study or training, 
shall be deemed for the purposes of this paragraph and section 221 (e) 
of this Act to have attained the age of twenty-two on the first day of 
July following such birthday. A child who is a student shall not be 
deemed to have ceased to be a student during any interim between 
school years if the interim does not exceed five months and if he shows 
to the satisfaction of the Director that he has a bona fide intention of 
continuing to pursue a course of study or training in the same or 
different school during the school semester (or other period into which 
the school year is divided) immediately following the interim. The 
term 'child', for purposes of section 241, shall include an adopted 
child and a natural child, but shall not include a stepchild,". 
SEC. 2. Section 221(e) of the Central Intelligence Agency Retire-
ment Act (50 U.S.C. 403 note) is amended to read as follows: 
"(e) The commencing date of an annuity payable to a child under 
paragraph (c) or (d) of this section, or (c) or (d) of section 232, 
shall be deemed to be the day after the annuitant or participant dies, 
with payment beginning on that day or beginning or resuming on 
the first day of the month in which the child later becomes or again 
becomes a student as described in section 204(b)(3), provided the 
lump-sum credit, if paid, is returned to the fund. Such annuity shall 
terminate on the last day of the month before (1) the child's attaining 
age eighteen unless he is then a student as described or incapable of 
self-support, (2) his becoming capable of self-support after attaining 
age eighteen unless he is then such a student, (3) his attaining age 
twenty-two if he is then such a student and not incapable of self-
support, (4) his ceasing to be such a student after attaining age 
eighteen unless he is then incapable of self-support, (5) his marriage, 
or (6) his death, whichever first occurs.".

payable from the fund allowed on or after date of enactment of this 
provision shall commence on the day after the occurrence of the event 
on which payment thereof is based. 
"(j) An annuity payable from the fund on or after date of enact-
ment of this provision shall terminate (1) in the case of a retired 
participant, on the day death or any other terminating event occurs, 
or (2) in the case of a survivor, on the last day of the month before 
death or any other terminating event occurs. 
"(k) The annuity computed under this section is reduced by 10 per 
centum of a special contribution described by section 252 (b) remaining 
unpaid for civilian service for which retirement deductions have not 
been made, unless the participant elects to eliminate the service involved 
for the purpose of annuity computation.".

annually) under such retirement system on behalf of the officer or 
employee shall be transferred to the fund and such officer or employee's 
total contributions and deposits (including interest accrued thereon), 
except voluntary contributions, shall be transferred to his credit in 
the fund effective as of the date such officer or employee becomes a 
participant in the system. Each such officer or employee shall be 
deemed to consent to the transfer of such funds and such transfer shall 
be a complete discharge and acquittance of all claims and demands 
against the other Government retirement fund on account of service 
rendered prior to becoming a participant in the system. 
"(c)(2) If a participant in the system becomes an employee under 
another Government retirement system by direct transfer to employ-
ment covered by such system, the Government's contributions (includ-
ing interest accrued thereon computed at the rate of 3 per centum a 
year compounded annually) to the fund on his behalf shall be trans-
ferred to the fund of the other system and his total contributions and 
deposits, including interest accrued thereon, except voluntary con-
tributions, shall be transferred to his credit in the fund of such other 
retirement system effective as of the date he becomes eligible to par-
ticipate in such other retirement system. Each such officer or employee 
shall be deemed to consent to the transfer of such funds and such 
transfer shall be a complete discharge and acquittance of all claims 
and demands against the fund on account of service rendered prior to 
his becoming eligible for participation in such other system.".
