    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

            (2) the term ``employee'' means an employee of the Central 
        Intelligence Agency, serving under an appointment without time 
        limitation, who has been currently employed for a continuous 
        period of at least 12 months, except that such term does not 
        include--
                    (A) a reemployed annuitant under subchapter III of 
                chapter 83 or chapter 84 of title 5, United States 
                Code, or another retirement system for employees of the 
                Government; or
                    (B) an employee having a disability on the basis of 
                which such employee is or would be eligible for 
                disability retirement under any of the retirement 
                systems referred to in subparagraph (A).
    (b) Establishment of Program.--In order to avoid or minimize the 
need for involuntary separations due to downsizing, reorganization, 
transfer of function, or other similar action, the Director may 
establish a program under which employees may be offered separation pay 
to separate from service voluntarily (whether by retirement or 
resignation).
    (c) Limitations.--Under this program, separation pay may be offered 
only--
            (1) with the prior approval of the Director; and
            (2) to employees within such occupational groups or 
        geographic locations, or subject to such other similar 
        limitations or conditions, as the Director may require.
    (d) Amount and Treatment for Other Purposes.--Such separation pay--
            (1) shall be paid in a lump sum;
            (2) shall be equal to the lesser of--
                    (A) an amount equal to the amount the employee 
                would be entitled to receive under section 5595(c) of 
                title 5, United States Code, if the employee were 
                entitled to payment under such section; or
                    (B) $25,000;
            (3) shall not be a basis for payment, and shall not be 
        included in the computation, of any other type of Government 
        benefit; and
            (4) shall not be taken into account for the purpose of 
        determining the amount of any severance pay to which an 
        individual may be entitled under section 5595 of title 5, 
        United States Code, based on any other separation.
    (e) Termination.--No amount shall be payable under this section 
based on any separation occurring after September 30, 1997.

may be necessary to carry out this section.
