INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION ACT
FISCAL YEAR 2001
SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS
AND EXPLANATION
TITLE I
INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES
Section 101 lists departments, agencies, and other
elements of the United States Government for whose
intelligence and intelligence-related activities the Act
authorizes appropriations for fiscal year 2001.
Section 102 makes clear that the details of the amounts
authorized to be appropriated for intelligence and
intelligence-related activities and personnel ceilings for
the entities listed in section 101 for fiscal year 2001 are
contained in a classified Schedule of Authorizations. The
Schedule of Authorizations is incorporated as to section 101
by section 102.
section 103 authorizes the Director of Central
Intelligence, with the approval of the Director of the
Office of Management and Budget, in fiscal year 2001 to
exceed the personnel ceilings applicable to the components
of the Intelligence Community under section 102 by an amount
not to exceed 2 percent of the total of the ceilings
applicable under section 102. The Director may exercise
this authority only when necessary to the performance of
important intelligence functions or to the maintenance of a
stable personnel force, and any exercise of this authority
must be reported to the two intelligence committees of the
Congress.
Section 104 provides certain details concerning the
amount and composition of the Community Management Account
(MA) of the Director of Central Intelligence.
Subsection (a) authorizes appropriations in the amount
of $ for fiscal year 2001 for the staffing and
administration of various components under the CMA.
Subsection (a) also authorizes funds identified for the
Advanced Research and Development Committee to remain
available for two years.
Subsection (b) authorizes a total of full-
time personnel for elements within the CMA for fiscal year
2001 and provides that such personnel may be permanent

employees of the CMA element or detailed from other elements
of the United States Government.
Subsection (c) explicitly authorizes the classified
portion of the CMA.
Subsection (d) requires that personnel be detailed on a
reimbursable basis, with certain exceptions.
Subsection (e) authorizes $ of the amount
authorized for the CMA under subsection (a) to be made
available for the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC)
in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Subsection (e) requires the
Director of Central Intelligence to transfer $ to
the Department of Justice to be used for NDIC activities
under the authority of the Attorney General, and subject to
section 103(d)(1) of the National Security Act.
TITLE II
CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY SYSTEM
Authorization .of Appropriations
Section 201 authorizes appropriations in the amount of
$216,000,000 for fiscal year 2001 for the Central
Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability Fund.
- TITLE III
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 301 provides that appropriations authorized by .
the conference report for salary, pay, retirement and other
benefits for federal employees may be increased by such
additional or supplemental amounts as may be necessary for
increases in such compensation or benefits authorized by
law.
Section 302 provides that the authorization of
appropriations by the conference report shall not be deemed
to constitute authority for the conduct of any intelligence
activity which is not otherwise authorized by the
Constitution or laws of the United States.
Section 303 Placeholder
Section 304 allows the Federal Bureau of Investigation
to credit to its appropriate appropriation contributions
received from a friendly foreign country under cost-sharing

cooperative projects. This authority would support joint
research and development and other cooperative efforts with
foreign law enforcement partners.
Section 305 extends until January 6, 2003 the authority
first granted by section 303 of the Intelligence
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 for the President to
delay the imposition of an economic, cultural, diplomatic,
or other sanction upon his determination that proceeding
with the sanction could compromise an ongoing criminal
investigation or an intelligence source or method. This
authority expired on January 6, 2000. There is a present
need for this authority in the event that immediately
imposing sanctions, without some delay, would seriously
jeopardize a criminal investigation or sources and methods
of intelligence collection.
Section 306 modifies the Fiscal Year 1997 Intelligence
Authorization Act requirement for a semiannual unclassified
Director of Central Intelligence report to Congress on
foreign countries' acquisition of dual-use and other
technology useful for developing or producing weapons of
mass destruction and advanced conventional munitions, and
trends in the acquisition of such technology by such
countries. This section provides that the DCI must provide
an unclassified report on these matters annually. Given the
necessary and understandable limitations on what may be
included in unclassified reports on this subject, and after
having had the opportunity to review several of the
semiannual unclassified reports that have been submitted to
date, it is believed that annual unclassified reports would
be more robust, substantive, and informative to the public.
This change from a semiannual to an annual requirement is
made on the clear understanding and condition that the
appropriate Committees and Members of Congress will continue
to receive all appropriate intelligence briefings and other
intelligence information or materials regarding technology
acquisition related to the development, production, and/or

superseding legislation, conform language and streamline
reporting procedures. In 1997, Public Law 105-107 provided
the CIA Inspector General with authority to issue subpoenas
for information relating to the performance of his duties
and responsibilities. However, that law failed to eliminate
the pre-existing requirement in 50 USC 403q(d)(1)(E) that
the Inspector General report semi-annually through the
Director to Congress all cases in which documentary evidence
could not be obtained by the Inspector General due to his '
lack of subpoena authority. As the Inspector General now
has statutory subpoena authority, this provision is no
longer needed.
Section 402 is similar to a section 8104 of Pub. L.
103-139, Title VII, 107 Stat. 1463, enacted on 11 November
1993. Section 8104 extends the life of appropriated funds
transferred by the Agency to other government agencies for
the purpose of construction projects. Section 8104 converts
funds transferred by the Agency for construction projects
into "no-year" funds, making them available until expended.
The proposed amendment would extend the availability of
funds transferred by the Agency to other government agencies
for the purpose of purchasing land for a three year period.
The proposed amendment is needed to preserve the
availability of funds while often complex negotiations are
being carried out by the receiving agency responsible for
expending the transferred funds. During FY 1999, the Agency
lost the use of some appropriated funds transferred to
another government agency for the purchase of a small amount
of land next to one of the Agency's facilities because the
receiving agency did not obligate those funds within the
fiscal year. The proposed amendment will prevent such
losses in the future.
Section 403 allows the Director of Central Intelligence
to designate categories in addition to those noted in Public
Law 104-208, note preceding 5 U.S.C. 5941, that would be
eligible to receive reimbursement for up to one-half of the
cost of purchasing professional liability insurance. This
section is necessary to allow the expenditure of
appropriated funds to reimburse employees for the purchase
of professional liability insurance who are at greater risk
of incurring costs associated with liability claims due to
their agency-specific functions, but are not covered by the
existing job categories.
Section 404 makes a couple of changes to the Central
Intelligence Agency's Central Services Program. First, it
clarifies that the Central Services Program Working Capital
Fund may retain and use receipts from utility and meal

reimbursements from individuals and cash receipts from the
rental of property and equipment to employees and detailees.
This change would allow the Central Services Program Working
Capital Fund to retain miscellaneous receipts that are paid
directly to an enterprise by an individual, thereby properly
offsetting costs incurred in the operation and maintenance
of enterprise facilities where the Government incurs costs
associated with those individuals. In addition, it fills a
gap in current law that allows retention of rents paid for
government-provided housing when that rent is collected by
payroll deduction to also encompass rents collected from
individuals who are not Agency employees (and therefore not
subject to payroll deduction). (5 U.S.0 5911(c)).
This section also extends the program until March 31,
2005.

TITLE V
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES
Section 501 provides new authority to the Secretary of
Defense, or to Department officials delegated by the
Secretary with this authority, to remedy problems that arise
with respect to the installation of nuclear test explosion
monitoring equipment as part of the International Monitoring
System of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and as
part of the United States Atomic Energy Detection System.
This provision would build upon the existing authority
of the Department of Defense, under 10 U.S.C. �2608, to
accept funds, services and property from the international
organization chartered to implement the International
Monitoring System of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban
Treaty, in conjunction with the development, procurement,
installation, operation and maintenance of nuclear test
explosion monitoring equipment.
This provision would authorize the Department of
Defense, in order to satisfy United States Government
requirements, to convey to a foreign government test
monitoring equipment installed on the territory of that
government. It is in the United States national security
interest to ensure the proper operation and maintenance of
the equipment. Conveyance of the title to the equipment is
sometimes necessary to obtain the full cooperation of the
foreign government in this regard. The Secretary is
required to include in an international agreement that the

Department of Defense have continued access to the data and
equipment.
a
The provision would authorize the use of appropriated
funds to maintain and upgrade the equipment that has been
provided or conveyed to a foreign government. In order to
achieve the highest level of performance with respect to
these instruments, they must be maintained to the highest
standards. Moreover, to keep these instruments at the
highest standards as technology evolves, they must be
upgraded as required by the United States.
Section 502 amends section 431(a) of title 10 to
continue indefinitely current Department of Defense
authority to engage in commercial activities as security for
intelligence collection activities. This authority
currently expires on December 31, 2000.
