To amend title 5, United States Code, to make creditable for civil service retirement purposes certain periods of service performed with Air America, Incorporated, Air Asia Company Limited, or the Pacific Division of Southern Air Transport, Incorporated, while those entities were owned or controlled by the Government of the United States and operated or managed by the Central Intelligence Agency.

H.R. 1276 would allow former employees of specific private aviation companies—Air America, Air Asia Company Limited, and the Pacific Division of Southern Air Transport—to count their time worked toward federal civil service retirement benefits. This applies to U.S. citizens who served in these organizations prior to 1977, during the period when the companies were secretly owned or controlled by the U.S. government and operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). If passed, the bill would enable these individuals to receive the same pension and retirement credit as other federal employees for their years of service.
