SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT TO THE SCC
Executive Summary
Rey Lack of Authority for Electronic Surveillance Abroad and
Physical Searches within and without the United States.
The attached report to the SCC is made pursuant to PRRM/NSC-
11 by the Subcommittee acting under the direction of the Attorney
General.
The report addresses the problem caused by the lack of any
Presidential delegation to the intelligence agencies or the
Attorney General to engage in foreign intelligence physical
searches in the United States and foreign intelligence physical
searches and electronic surveillances directed against United
States persons overseas.
The Subcommittee concludes that legislation should be
sought authorizing these activities, but pending the enactment
of such legislation, the President should delegate authority
to the Attorney General to approve electronic surveillance
abroad, directed against United States persons in the same man-
ner as he does for electronic surveillances in the United States.
In addition, the Subcommittee recommends that the President
delegate the authority to the Attorney General to approve and
adopt procedures governing foreign intelligence physical searches
at home and directed against United States persons abroad in
two limited circumstances: (1) where the property to be searched
is in the custody of the United States or its agents; and (2)
where the property is on the premises of a foreign power to which
the United States or its agents have lawful access. No authority
for breaking and entering of any real property is to be delegated.
