yield to my distinguished colleague from
Mississippi, the chairman of the Armed
Services Committee.
Mr. STE,NNIS. Mr. Pr?dent, if-1 may
Make a statement, this nomination here
was originally referred to the Senate
Armed Services Committee. I am going
to ask unanimous consent in a moment
with reference to the committee's dis-
charge, but I want, to refer now, Mr.
President, to a memorandum of under-
standing between the chairman of the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
and the Chairman of the Senate Armed
Services' Committee, dated today, July
1, 1978. It is Concurred in by the Senator
from South Carolina and the Senator
from Tennessee (Mr. Baum).
Now, Mr. President, this is an effort on
the part -of those concerned to work out
a working paper between those two com-
mittees so that with reference to matters
where one needs intelligence from the
other there can be a free exchange as
intelligence matters necessary to the work
of either Committee.
Where there are questions of- joint 'con-
cern between the Senate Select Committee,
on Intelligence and the Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committee, they will be promptly made
a matter of consultation and resolution be-
tween the Chairmen of the two Committees,
the full Committees, and the Chiefs of Staffs
of both Commtitees as may be appropriate.
