MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
Frederick P. Hitz
Legislative Counsel
Meeting with Senator Bayh, SSCI Chairman,
Regarding Department of State Authorization
Act, FY 79
1. Action Requested: None; for information only for your meeting
with Senator Biyh on Tuesday, 1-1 July.
2. Background: On 28 June 1978, the'Senate passed H. R. 12598
(formerly ' designated S. 3076), the Foreign Relations Authorization Act,
FY 79, which primarily authorizes appropriations for the Department
of State and related agencies for FY 1979. Two provisions in the bill..
have been and continue to be of particular concern to us; both were
adopted without amendment on the Senate floor:
a. Section 119: Amending the Role of the Ambassador
Legislation (22 U.S.C. 2680a); and
b. Section 501: Amending the so-called "Case-
Zablocki Act" (1 U.S.C. 112b).
Also of concern is an unprinted floor amendment introduced on
28 June, the day of the Senate floor action on S. 3076, by Senator
McGovern. This amendment, subsequently adopted by the Senate, would
amend Subsection 15(b) of the basic Department of State enabling legis-
lation (Pub. L. No. 84-885 Subsection 15(b), 70 Stat 890, as amended
(1956)), to require, Federal agencies and departments with information
within the jurisdiction of the Foreign Relations and International
Relations Committees to provide that information regardless of. the
"third agency rule."
Note:- There are other provisions in the legislation that are problematic,
but these are the three most important problematic provisions.
