of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 amended
5 U,SCI,   8332 to allow civil service re-
tirement-credit for employment with Radio

vides that servicb creditable:under section

ment credit for service with Radio Free Europe, such
service is to be credited tinder 5 U.S.C. § 6303 for
the purpose of determining Mr. McCargar'a annual leave
accrual category. His annual leave account is to be
adjusted only for the period subsequent to February 15,
1981.
