-r1 . H.R. 6410 has already passed the House with strong
Administration support. It is cur r. ent.l y pending before the
Governmental Affairs Committee of the Senate, which is not exp :tFd
to take any action prior to inid-;4ay. This, in conjunction wi-:l
OMB's willingness to accept "subject natter" exemptions from
intelligence Community entities, gives us some "play time" wi . i
regard to the Bill. In order to exp Jite things, I would ask
that instead of preparing formal written comments you Make
yourself or your designee personally available for a meeting u.ui.i
the subject to take place in Room 5E11 Headquarters at 1:30 p.a.,
Friday, 2 May. Please be prepared at that time to discuss cor,.?.nent
equities which in your opinion may be compromised by the Bill,
Appropriate ameendment wi l l be developed at this meeting for
subsequent forwarding to) OMB.
