31. (Internal Use Only - RLB) LEGISLATION Spoke with
Ms. Tracey Cole, OMB, concerning certain provisions in the House and
Senate versions of the State Department Authorization bill. Ms. Cole
said OMB was working on the various provisions in this legislation and
had received indications of opposition from other departments and agencies
in addition to our own concern. The addition to the bills of a provision
concerning "high-one retirement" for State Department employees could
result in a veto threat by the President.
32. (Unclassified - RLB) LEGISLATION Spoke with
Mr. Robert Angarola, on the White House Domestic Policy Staff, regarding
a proposed amendment to the International Security Assistance bill in the
Senate concerning narcotics activities abroad by U. S. officers and employees.
Mr. Angarola said the amendment apparently was in reaction to an impression
by certain Senate staffers that the Drug Enforcement Administration was
concentrating ; too much on enforcement activities abroad rather than intelligence
gathering activities, but that, as the proposed amendment had been drafted, it
would have a serious negative impact on the ability of all U. S. Government
agencies to collect narcotics intelligence abroad. Mr. Angarola indicated
that it appeared the proposed amendment in its present form had been
killed. We agreed to keep in touch on this.
33. (Unclassified - RLB) LEGISLATION Had several discussions
with Mr. Forrest Frank, on the staff of the House International Relations
Committee, concerning the Science and Technology amendment, Title V
of the State Department Authorization bill, H. R. 12598. We discussed
various means of addressing--through bill and/or report language--our
concern that, left. in its present form, the language could be construed
to improperly impact on certain intelligence activities that might involve
science or technology matters.
