MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman
Intelligence Definitions Working Group
Assistant Legislative Counsel
SUBJECT: Intelligence Definitions and Charter Legislation
1. Thanks for providing me with copies of your Working Group's
papers on definitions. I note in the most recent minutes for the
21 March 1978 meeting, you anticipated that the material on defini-
tions will be forwarded to the Director for subsequent transmittal
to NFIB members by 31 March 1978.
2. As we have discussed previously, we are involved in a long-
range program to review and develop positions on the Intelligence
Charter Legislation, including those provisions containing defini-
tions of intelligence terms. We will be reviewing the final product
of your Working Group in this context. I think it is appropriate
that the Working Group's definitions be presented to the Director,
NFIB members and others with the understanding that they will be
considered and conceivably may have to be modified during the pro-
cess of developing positions on the Intelligence Charter Legislation.
Perhaps language along the following lines could be included in the
transmittal and cover papers for the Working Group's definitions:
"These definitions will be reviewed in the context of
developing positions on the Intelligence Charter
Legislation and to make them compatible with the
Legislation and Intelligence Committees views thereon,
some modifications may have to be made."
I will be glad to discuss this with you further.
