UNITED STATES ARMS CONTROL AND DISARMAMENT AGENCY
WASHINGTON
OFFICE OF
THE DIRECTOR
July 14, 1977
Dear Admiral Turner:
Thank you for your letter of June 29, 1977,
to Mr. Warnke with regard to including intelligence
programs in the arms control impact analyses under-
taken pursuant to PL 94-141.
Your offer to provide ACDA with information on,
and analyses of changes in intelligence capabilities
which might impact on the arms control negotiating
environment or on monitoring agreed measures is most
welcome. I have asked Brigadier General John Ralph
of my staff to coordinate the establishment of an
appropriate liaison with your staff to facilitate the
transmittal of this information.
In addition, as you may know, both House and
Senate have amended the ACDA FY 1978 authorization
bill to require the Director of ACDA to report to
Congress on the verifiability of arms control pro-
posals and of existing agreements. General Ralph will
explore with your staff what procedures should be
established if such an amendment becomes law.
Sincerely,
Admiral Stansfield Turner
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
