During the Senate floor debate on S. 3076, the Department of
State Authorization Legislation, on 28 June 1978, there was extended
discussion of a "Treaty Powers Resolution. " . Senator Clark, the sponsor,
inserted in the Congressional Record a Fall 1977 Foreign Policy article
on Executive Agreements by Loch Johnson and James McCormick.
The article co-authored by Loch Johnson in general takes a very
broad view of Executive Agreements -- i. e. , that many more than at
present should be sent to the Congress for prior approval as treaties --
and specifically mentions intelligence agreements as one category of
"agreements" in which Congress does not -- but should -- have a voice.
This is, in my view, an interesting viewpoint that we should keep~in mind.
