The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations is
examining Federal narcotics efforts, with particular emphasis
on the Drug Enforcement Administration.
It would be most beneficial to our efforts, and a
valuable contribution to our hearing record, to have a
statement from you on behalf of the Central Intelligence
Agency addressed to your interpretation of the CIA's narcotics
intelligence gathering functions under Executive Order 11905,
released February 18, 1976. We are interested in how the CIA
collects foreign narcotics intelligence, and how and by whom
that intelligence is evaluated and disseminated to other agencies,
such as Customs, the State Department and the Drug Enforcement
Administration. Additionally, we are interested in any overlaps
that exist between your narcotics intelligence gathering activities
and those of DEA, as well as any problems which may be a result of
any such overlaps.
We are tentatively scheduling our next set of hearings
for the week of August 23. We would like to have you available
for an appearance during that week, if convenient. In any event,
we would like your statement for inclusion in the record and for
dissemination at that time. We will notify you of a specific
date of your appearance as soon as possible.
