NOTE FOR: Acting DDCI
SUBJECT: Letter to Senator Kennedy on
Electronic Surveillance Activities
of NSA and the FBI
about the apparently inconsistent statements
concerning the roles of NSA and the FBI
as outlined in the subject letter. As a
result, he added clarifying language in the
second, fourth, and fifth paragraphs which
I believe improve the letter and reduce
the risk that the roles of NSA and FBI
will be confused.
I rasied your point with
As you know, the Director will see
Senator Kennedy tomorrow afternoon.
said he had hoped Kennedy would
have the letter by now and suggested that

NOTE FOR: A/DDI
Paul
1. All actions you suggested for my use at the
Interagency Panel Meeting yesterday were approved by the Panel
with one exception.
I made your point that it is probably a marginal
piece of work and that anything that could be determined through
these missions is probably available through collateral sources.
The NSA reaction was that there could be value in this particular
window in watching aspects related to technology transfer, etc.
2. It was agreed that the two agencies would get
together to compare notes. We should cite the nature of collateral
information and NSA will elaborate its view about value. The agreed
or disagreed judgment will then be tabled at the next panel meeting.
Dick Curl at State and on the IC Staff should be kept
informed.
