i iiORANDUM FOR: General Counsel
Legislative Counsel
FROM : Cord Meyer, Jr., SA/DDCI
SUBJECT : Senator Ribicoff's Omnibus Anti-Terrorism Act
of 1977
As I mentioned to you on the phone, at a meeting of the
Executive Committee on Terrorism at the State Department yesterday,
we were given the attached bill proposed by Senator Ribicoff and
there was a preliminary discussion of it. Ambassador Isham,
State-Department Director for Combatting Terrorism, will have to
appear at a preliminary hearing on the bill before the Senate
Government Affairs Committee on 11 November. He has requested
informal comment from the agencies and departments affected by
9 November. A quick review would indicate to me that the CIA is
not directly affected by the language in this bill and Ambassador
Isham understands that if we are not affected we need submit no
comment. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you would review the
bill and let me know by 9 November what comment, if any, we should
forward to Isham.
