The Honorable Bob Graham
Chairman
Select Committee on Intelligence
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Mr. Chairman:
(U//FOU0) I want to thank you and the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence for your staunch support to the
Agency during this time of national crisis. I read the
FY 2002 authorization marks with great interest and appreciate
the Committee's perspective on the Central Intelligence Agency's
program, particularly as we continue the war on terrorism.
Although we may differ on the importance of specific programs,
I am confident we share the goal of helping to defeat the
terrorist threat. I look forward to working with you and the
Committee to meet this challenge.
(U//FOU0) As you prepare to conference on the FY 2002
Intelligence Authorization Act, I would like to endorse DCI
Tenet's views and provide my own thoughts on proposed
Congressional actions affecting this Agency, particularly
regarding our ability to eradicate terrorism on a global basis.

virtually eliminate OIG's ability to monitor activities
of the Directorate of Operations; and render OIG
incapable of conducting investigations of employee
misconduct that require access to people and documents
outside of Headquarters.
(S) The proposed cut to the Office of
Congressional Affairs would force us to cut approximately
staff positions--seriously restricting support we
provide to Congress--as both consumer and overseer of
intelligence. We also would have to reduce our level
of service and responsiveness to the National Security
Council, the Office of Management and Budget, and other
Executive Branch agencies on legislative requirements and
other Congressional matters involving the IC.

SSCI Actions:
� (C) I want to reinforce the DCI's concerns that the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's recommended
cuts to our Performance-Based Compensation program would
eliminate the funds we are requesting to better recognize
superior performance and motivate our work force.
� Moreover, this cut also eliminates funds we need to cover
awards and within-grade increases.
� (C) The proposed reduction to Agency.
Management/Leadership would severely undercut a range of
responsibilities critical to the day-to-day management
and coordination of the Agency's corporate concerns--
especially during a time of stepped up activities during
the war on terrorism. The proposed cut also will negate
our efforts in the FY 2002 Congressional Budget
Justification to address chronic shortfalls in salaries
and benefits associated with these positions that drive
the need for reprogramming of funds during the fiscal
year.
� (S) The proposed cut to independent
contractors would complicate our ability to fully
participate in the war on terrorism. Independent
contractors, many with previous Agency experience, are
critical to our ability to sustain activities on other
priority issues as we focus resources on the terrorist
threat.

Conclusion:
(S) In closing, I would like to reiterate my appreciation
for the support the SSCI has shown for CIA's response to the
11 September terrorist attack. This response, and our continuing
support to the war on terrorism, entail a dramatic shift in our
focus and require a major augmentation of resources that we must
sustain in the future. We all know that intelligence will be the
first line of defense in this war, and I look forward to working
with you to strengthen that line.
