              <Paragraph>The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board was established as an independent agency by the Federal Employees' Retirement System Act of 1986 (5 U.S.C. 8351 and 8401-79). The act vests responsibility for the agency in six named fiduciaries: the five Board members and the Executive Director. The President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoints the five members of the Board, one of whom is designated as Chairman. The members serve on a part-time basis, and they appoint the Executive Director, who is responsible for the management of the agency and the Plan.</Paragraph>

              <Paragraph>The Thrift Savings Plan is a tax-deferred, defined contribution plan that was established as one of the three parts of the Federal Employees' Retirement System. For employees covered under the System, savings accumulated through the Plan make an important addition to Social Security retirement benefits and the System's Basic Annuity. Civil Service Retirement System employees and members of the Uniformed Services may also take advantage of the Plan to supplement their annuities.</Paragraph>
