THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20301

Honorable David L. Aaron
Deputy Assistant, National Security
Affairs
The White House
Washington, D. C. 20500
Dear Dave:
As I indicated to you on the telephone this afternoon,
Stan Turner and I are in substantial agreement with
respect to the outstanding issues on the proposed intelligence
charter legislation.
I attach hereto the proposed language on the issue of the
proposed Administration position involving reporting to
Congress. While Stan indicated he did acquiesce-to DoD on
this issue, I don't believe he has seen the attached language
which is forwarded to him by copy of this letter. We both
believe that the language in the bill is unacceptable and
that the language in the Executive Order is not a viable
alternative. The attached simple language should be a
realistic base from which to negotiate this important issue,
with the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Sincerely,
Attachment
Copya
A'dm Stan Turner, DCI
