OK. So it's bullshit then.
A little inside baseball for you. That email hit and everyone in management panicked. The FIRST commo we all got from our agencies (DOD in my case) was "We are evaluating who is and is not National Security for the purposes of this program, Expect if your job touches readiness that you are ineligible. " On our side, those GS-14s very quickly got their peepee slapped and told that *everyone* is eligible unless their position is individually justified to OPM as national security.
Sounds like CIA just denied reality a little longer, because it's the same program the rest of us got.
Which also makes the framing"CIA offered entire workforce a buyout" complete crap. The EXECUTIVE offered the entire workforce, including CIA and buyout, and their middle management tried to undermine that for a week before caving.
