SUBJECT: Justice Appropriations Bill Report Language on Entry
and Expulsion of Foreign Intelligence Personnel
1. The Senate Appropriations Committee has ordered reported the
Appropriations bill for the Department of Justice and other agencies.
Attached is a page from the Committee report; I would direct your
attention to the bracketed paragraph concerning a "directive" that
"hostile [foreign] intelligence service personnel" should be denied
entry to the U.S. and, if in the country, expelled.
2. Although this provision is report language only, and is not
reflected in the bill itself, the fact that it is directed to an agency
(INS) for which finds are appropriated under the provisions of the bill,
means that in practice it may have the effect of a binding directive;
at least t h e -may-
r y operate on that basis (this could prove extremel}r
troublesome).
3. Would you please review the referenced paragraph in the report, and
advise as to the problems your office foresees with regard to:
--the provision's effects on our relationship with INS
--the potential "reciprocity effects" if the "directive"
in the provision were carried through
--[for 0GC] whether there is sufficient flexibility in the
language concerning the role of the Attorney General so that the
possible negative effects could be avoided
--the numbers of "hostile intelligence service personnel"
that would presently and could be affected.by the provision
Any other relevant comments would, of course, be welcome.
4. Please advise as to the above matters by Tuesday, 1 August; this
will allow us to begin taking whatever action may be necessary before the
House-Senate conferees meet on the legislation. Thank you.
