In short, it may not be only a case of my unwillingness to ask
individuals to accept risks; those individuals simply may not be willing
to take them.
Fourth, closely related to the above is our concern that Section 142
of the bill fails to specifically mention the duty of the DNI to protect
intelligence sources and methods. Our ability to recruit foreign sources
friendly
and to deal with/foreign intelligence services will be significantly impaired
by the signal that the omission of this longstanding provision will give.
This has been a backbone of our assurances to such individuals and organizations
that the DNI can and will provide protection for their legitimate interests.
Accordingly, the Administration favors provisions

Mr. Chairman, I believe that we are in the midst of an important
evolution or experiment. We are attempting to integrate the legislature
of this country more intimately into the intelligence process than has ever
been attempted anywhere before. This new process has been evolving over
a number of years now. I know that we in the Executive Branch are pleased
with the way this new relationship has developed. I hope that the members
of this committee are also. The enactment of this legislation which would
charter our intelligence activities anew would codify the practices we have
most important
developed and ensure their perpetuation. The ,f?y4 remaining differences
between the Administration and this draft bill concern areas where the bill
goes considerably further in regulating matters that are being handled
satisfactorily. In this light, we should recognize that:

While I recognize that there is an argument which sounds most reasonable
that the Congress should be entitled to access to all intelligence
information, I would like to point out that the practical impact of such
a provision in this legislation could be very harmful. To begin with,
the only kinds of information we would ever wish to withhold are the kinds
of information which this Committee has sagaciously and consistently
indicated it would never seek to obtain. The names of human sources of
information is one good example. On the other hand, the inclusion of
a provision that would theoretically require us to provide such a name
could have a very chilling effect upon the confidence we can instill in
such individuals that working with us is a reasonably safe proposition.
We are asking you for relief from the Hughes Ryan Amendment from the
onerous provisions of the Freedom of Information Act and for legislation
to deal with instances of the revelation of the identities of our personnel.
All of these measures will be of great assistance to us in developing
confidence in foreign individuals and intelligence services. The inclusion
of a provision for all-encompassing access to our data would run directly
contrary to these steps and in large measure nullify them.

Certain facets of intelligence collection are by their very
nature risk-taking ventures. By risks I mean that either the lives
and reputations of individuals are at stake and/or that the prestige
and position of the United States with respect to other nations could
be endangered. There are clearly situations in which I personally
would not ask an individual. to accept such risks to his welfare or
place the reputation of the United States on the line. If I were
required to report such intention, to more members of the Congress
and their staffs,then I would permit persons within. the CIA to be
privy to this information. Moreover, we must also recognize
