statement should include reference to any opinion of the State Attorney General or other legal authority relative to the establishment and operation of the retirement system. .......... 4. A State retirement system for teachers has been established in the State of ..... . . . . ., which goes into effect July 1, 1940. Under its terms the teacher-employees of the ... State College for Negroes may at option become members of the State system. May deductions authorized by the Act be legally made from grants of Federal funds for individual teachers where a voluntary retirement system of this character is operated either by a State, Territory or Governing Board of the College? ..... The State retirement system for teachers which becomes operative July 1, 1940, was established by an Act of July 9, 1938 (1938 1st ex. s. c 1) as amended by an Act approved March 19, 1940. Under the Act as amended teachers at the ... ... State College for Negroes are within the system and the provisions for voluntary coverage of the original Act have been removed. However, in our opinion the fact that a retirement system has voluntary coverage provisions would not preclude the use of funds of Federal origin in accordance with Public No. 422. State retire While there appears to be no doubt that the .... ment system for teachers is established pursuant to and under the authority of State law, there is no clear authority under the State law for the use of any part of the fund received by the State under either the 1862 or the 1890 Act for contribution to or deposit in this retirement system. Accordingly, your Office should not approve deductions from these funds under Public No. 422 in the absence of an opinion of the Attorney General of . or other competent legal authority of that State, holding that there is authority under the State law for such use of these funds.-Opinion of the General Counsel of the Federal Security Agency, May 29, 1940. ...........
