MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Legislative Counsel
Deputy to the DCI for Resource Management
SUBJECT: OLC Support for Resource Management Staff
1e, S7qs'-
1. I think we have all agreed that some more formal arrangement-
than that which we have at present is desirable in your support of our
legislative activities. The following points outline my understanding
of how your office could fulfill its function of being the focal point
for the DCI's liaison with Congress while providing us with the particular
kinds of support which our Community and budgetary responsibilities require.
a. A member of the OLC staff will be detailed to RMS. This
person's responsibilities will include advising us on the presenta-
tion of the national foreign intelligence budget to Congress,
advising us of the more general matters of DCI relations with
Congress which OLC performs, and keeping your office informed of
our work and communications with Congress.
b. This individual will be jointly selected by the Legislative
Counsel and the Deputy to the DCI for Resource Management. Candidates
will include both members of your present staff and persons who you
and I might agree were attractive prospects to join your staff for the
purpose of filling this position. The length of tour will also be
a point of mutual agreement--and either of us should be free to remove
the individual if we find his performance unsatisfactory from either
of our perspectives.
c. Once selection of the candidate and other arrangements have
been completed, you will designate this person to be detailed from
OLC to the Resource Management Staff, and I will approve the release
of funds to reimburse you for his salary.

d. The fitness report will have entries from both of our
offices. Since this liaison officer will spend most of his
time working on my staff, one entry in his fitness report will
be written by me or a supervisor designated by me. Because
he remains under your general supervision, the report will then
be sent to you to make whatever entries you find appropriate.
We have used this procedure of double entries and signatures
by both offices for reimbursable employees detailed from CIA
and other agencies. It seems to be the most satisfactory way
to assess performance of someone who is in effect working for
two offices.
2. Under this arrangement, the RMS would be responsible for the
liaison officer's daily supervision, office space, clerical support, and
salary. OLC would be responsible for providing him with long-range
supervision and the support of your general resources for legislative
liaison. I hope that this officer will be able to keep both staffs
informed of each other's activities and thereby make our relations
more amenable and productive.
