Section 221(b) of the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement Act of 1964 for Certain Employees, as amended (78 Stat. 1043; 50 U.S.C. 403 note), is amended to read as follows: “(b) (1) If a participant, dies after having retired and is survived by a spouse to whom he or she was married at the time of retirement, or by a widow or widower whom he or she married after retirement, the spouse, widow, or widower is entitled to an annuity equal to 55 per centum of the amount of the participant’s annuity computed as prescribed in paragraph (a) of this section, up to the full amount of such annuity specified by the participant as the base for such Survivor benefits at the time of retirement. The annuity of the participant shall be reduced by 2½ per centum of any amount up to $3,600 specified by the participant as the base for such survivor benefit plus 10 per centum of any amount over $3,600 so specified. If at the time of retirement the participant does not desire any surviving spouse to receive an annuity under this paragraph he shall so state in writing to the Director. 90 STAT. 2469 “(2) If an annuitant dies after having elected a reduced annuity provided in paragraph (2) of section 221(f) the surviving widow or widower is entitled to an annuity computed as prescribed in paragraph (1) of this subsection. “(3) A spouse acquired after retirement is entitled to a survivor annuity under this subsection only upon electing this annuity instead of any other survivor benefit to which lie or she may be entitled under this or another retirement system for Government employees. The annuity of the spouse, willow, or widower under this subsection commences on the day after the annuitant dies. This annuity and the right thereto terminate on the last day of the month before the spouse, widow, or widower— “(A) dies; or “(B) remarries before becoming sixty years of age. “(4) An annuity which is reduced under this subsection shall, for each full month during which an annuitant is not married, be recomputed and paid as if the annuity had not been so reduced. Upon remarriage of the annuitant, the annuity shall be reduced by the same percentage reductions which were in effect at the time of retirement.”.
