Title II: Intelligence Community Staff - Authorizes appropriations for the Intelligence Community Staff for FY 1992.

Establishes an end strength ceiling of 218 full-time Intelligence Community Staff employees, including 50 full-time personnel who are authorized to serve in the Security Evaluation Office and three full-time personnel who are authorized to serve on the DCI's foreign language committee. Provides that such staff shall be administered in the same manner as the CIA.

Title III: Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System Provisions - Authorizes appropriations for the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability Fund for FY 1992. Amends the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement Act of 1964 for Certain Employees (CIARA) to provide that, with respect to provisions relating to the computation of survivor benefits for the children of a deceased participant or annuitant in the CIA Retirement and Disability System (CIARDS), the existence of the child's other parent, whether that parent is the spouse or former spouse of the employee or annuitant, shall be recognized and the child paid at the rate applicable to a single orphan. Grants CIARDS retirees an additional 18-month period from the date of retirement during which they may change the survivor benefit election made at the time of retirement (if they were married at that time and elected a reduced base for the survivor annuity or did not elect a survivor annuity) and provide for or increase a current spouse survivor annuity, subject to specified conditions. Makes such changes effective on the first day of the fourth month beginning after the enactment date of this Act.

Precludes Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) participation by CIA foreign national employees who serve overseas and are subject to the Civil Service Retirement System.

Entitles certain former spouses of CIA employees to CIARDS survivor and retirement benefits, even if the employee elected to participate in the Federal Employees' Retirement System.

Sets forth the benefits as follows: (1) the retirement benefits shall be equal to 50 percent of the employee's annuity, multiplied by the proportion that the number of days of marriage during the period of the employee's creditable service before the effective date of the election to transfer bears to the employee's total creditable service before such effective date; and (2) the survivor benefits shall be equal to 55 percent of the full amount of the employee's annuity computed in accordance with the Federal Employees' Retirement Service Act of 1986 or the CIARA. Makes such entitlement effective as of December 2, 1987.

Eliminates the requirement that the former husband or wife may qualify as a "former spouse" for purposes of CIARA only if such spouse (together with the participant) has spent five years outside the United States.

Title IV: General Provisions - Permits appropriations authorized by this Act for benefits for Federal employees to be increased as may be necessary for increases in compensation or benefits authorized by law.
