MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Meeting with the DDCI
At my request, I met with the DDCI to get some guidance on
questions which are perking in our area:
a. It is the DDCI's strong view that the
provision of the country papers will fulfill our
requirement from the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence for an evaluation of the Agency's
HUMINT collection capability. He urged that the
DDO act as swiftly as possible to get these
papers up to the Committee. Don Gregg informed.
b. The DDCI realizes that any amendment
of the FOTA will be difficult to achieve legislatively
and politically. Nonetheless, he feels it excellent
strategy to condition any prospect of a two percent
across-the-board personnel cut upon the relief of

tactical reasons with OMB more than for a
reason of optimism on the legislative front.n formed.
d. If we receive additional requests to
brief on Kampiles this week, there is no problem
with going forward in response. It does not matter
how conclusive our briefing is on the questions
involved. It is important that we do it.

if there is any interest. If Bill Miller, Staff Director,
Senate Select' Committee on Intelligence, and Tom
Latimer, Staff Director, House Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence, don't want to handle it
that way then we will go back to direct letters.
e. On the question of indirect distribution
of unclassified publications to the Congress, the
DDCI agreed with our recommendation that we try

will handle this.
g. The DDCI forgot to mention the Intelligence
Authorization bill veto recommendation to David Aaron,
Deputy Assistant to the President for National Security
Affairs, on Saturday. Nonetheless, he is not concerned
that this recommendation will be acted upon. We shall
follow it through Sam Hoskinson, NSC staff. I Informed.
