"(b) At the time of retirement, any married participant may elect to receive a reduced annuity and to provide for an annuity payable to his wife or her husband, commencing on the date following such participant's death and terminating upon the death or upon remarriage prior to attaining age sixty of such surviving wife or husband. The annuity payable to the surviving wife or husband after such participant's death shall be 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 him as the base for the survivor benefits. The annuity of the participant making such election shall be reduced by 21⁄2 per centum of any amount up to $3,600 he specified as the base for the survivor benefit plus 10 per centum of any amount over $3,600 so specified.

"(c)(1). If an annuitant dies and is survived by a wife or husband and by a child or children, in addition to the annuity payable to the surviving wife or husband, there shall be paid to or on behalf of each child an annuity

equal to the smallest of: (1) 60 per centum of the annuitant's average basic salary, as determined under paragraph (a) of this section, divided by the number of children; (ii) $900; or (iii) $2,700 divided by the number of children.

"(2) If an annuitant dies and is not survived by a wife or husband but by a child or children, each surviving child shall be paid an annuity equal to the smallest of: (1) 75 per centum of the annuitant's average basic salary, as determined under paragraph (a) of this section, divided by the number of children; (11) $1,080; or (ii) $3,240 divided by the number of children.

"(d) If a surviving wife or husband dies or the annuity of a child is terminated, the annuities of any remaining children shall be recomputed and paid as though such wife, husband, or child had not survived the participant. "(e) The commencing date of an annuity payable to a child under paragraph (c) or (d) of this section, or (c) or (d) of section 232, shall be deemed to be the day after the annuitant or participant dies, with payment beginning on that day or beginning or resuming on the first day of the month in which the child later becomes or again becomes a student as described in section 204(b) (3), provided the lump-sum credit, if paid, is returned to the fund. Such annuity shall terminate on the last day of the month before (1) the child's attaining age eighteen unless he is then a student as described or incapable of self-support, (2) his becoming capable of self-support after attaining age eighteen unless he is then such a student, (3) his attaining age twenty-two if he is then such a student and not incapable of self-support, (4) his ceasing to be such a student after attaining age eighteen unless he is then incapable of self-support, (5) his marriage, or (6) his death, whichever first occurs.

"(f) Any unmarried participant retiring under the provisions of this Act and found by the Director to be in good health may at the time of retirement elect a reduced annuity, in lieu of the annuity as hereinbefore provided, and designate in writing a person having an insurable interest (as that term is used in section 9(h) of the Civil Service Retirement Act (5 U.S.C. 2259 (h))) in the participant to receive an annuity after the participant's death. The annuity payable to the participant making such election shall be reduced by 10 per centum of an annuity computed as provided in paragraph (a) of this section, and by 5 per centum of an annuity so computed for each full five years the person designated is younger than the participant, but such total reduction shall not exceed 40 per centum. The annuity of a survivor designated under this paragraph shall be 55 per centum of the reduced annuity computed as prescribed above.

"(g) In the case of remarriage on or after age sixty an annuity shall be payable if remarriage has occurred on or after July 18, 1966, and if the surviving wife or husband, immediately before such remarriage, was receiving an annuity from the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability Fund. The annuity of a surviving spouse terminated as a result of remarriage which occurred prior to age sixty and on or after July 18, 1966, shall be restored at the same rate commencing on the day the remarriage is dissolved by death, annulment, or divorce, if

"(1) the surviving spouse elects to receive this annuity instead of a survivor benefit to which he may be entitled, under this or another retirement system for Government employees, by reason of the remarriage:

and

"(2) any lump sum paid on termination of the annuity is returned to the fund.

No annuity shall be paid by reason of this paragraph for any period prior to October 20, 1969. No annuity shall be terminated solely by reason of the enactment of this paragraph.

"(h) In computing an annuity under this section the service credit of a participant who retires, except under section 231, on an immediate annuity or dies leaving a survivor or survivors entitled to annuity includes, without regard to the limitations imposed by paragraph (a), the days of unused sick leave to his credit under a formal leave system, except that these days will not be counted in determining average basic salary or annuity eligibility. The contribution specified in section 252 shall not be required for days of unusued sick leave credited under
