MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Legislative Counsel
SUBJECT: Two Deputies Legislation
1. In response to your desire for legislation creating two Deputy
Directors, I am attaching a simple and direct legislative proposal which
would necessitate a minimal change in existing law.
2. This proposal would amend the National Security Act of 1947
to create a Deputy Director for CIA and a Deputy Director for IC. It would
give broad delegation powers to the DCI. It would remain silent on the
order of succession and division of responsibilities in your absence.
Executive Order 11905 would have to be changed to reflect these new
statutory positions and appropriate delegations thereunder. Suggested
language for both the statutory and Executive Order amendments is
attached.
3. As you are aware, I do have some concern as to how such
legislation will fare in Congress. However, I understand your desire
to expedite this matter.
