MEMORANDUM FOR: See Distribution
STATINTL
Chief, Legislation Division/OLC
SUBJECT Legislative Programs. for the Second Session of
the Ninety-Sixth Congress
1. The Office of Management and Budget requires that the
head of each Federal agency submit a proposed legislative
program for Administration clearance each fall for the session
of Congress which begins the following January. This memorandum
initiates the process of formulating the Central Intelligence
Agency legislative program for the Second Session of the
Ninety-Sixth Congress and the Agency's contribution to the
Intelligence Community program that will also be submitted by
the DCI.
2. The following guidelines are provided to aid your
component in the preparation of proposals for inclusion in
these legislative programs:
--It is not necessary to repeat items in the
current legislative programs; i.e., Protection of
Intelligence Identities, Relief from the Freedom
of Information Act, Changes in the Hughes-Ryan
Amendment, Revised CIA Firearms Authority, Educa-
tional Travel Benefits, and Death Gratuities.
Items not accomplished this year will be carried
over.
--While the passage of Intelligence Charter
Legislation this year remains possible, the likelihood
is not great, and legislative proposals should be
premised on the proposition that Charter will still
be an issue in 1980.

--It is not necessary to submit specific. statutory
language, or to specify a statute to be amended. A
description of each problem or goal, accompanied by an
explanation of why it is thought that legislation is
necessary to solve or achieve it will be sufficient.
It would also be helpful to have an outline of testimony
to be presented in support of each proposal, and an
indication of any potential problems (e.g., security,
cover, etc.) in pursuing a suggestion through the
legislative process.
-?-All suggestions should also be accompanied by
your component's views as to whether or not the
proposal has Intelligence Community applicability,
i.e., whether the proposal should be included in the
Intelligence Community rather than the CIA legislative
program.
3. The Senat`e's inclusion of our Educational Travel Benefit
in the FY 1980 Intelligence Authorization Bill (and its expected
retention in Conference) sets an important positive precedent for
use of the FY 1981 Authorization Bill for similar purposes next
year.
. 4. Failure to include a proposal in the legislative programs
submitted to 0MB in the fall can considerably reduce chances of
obtaining Administration support for the proposal later on.
5. I realize that it seems rather early to be thinking
about legislative programs for next year, but I believe that
sufficient lead time is necessary to insure that the CIA and
Intelligence Community proposals are sufficiently
thought out and presented in as specific a form as possible.
6. I woul d appreci ate having your proposals by 3 Au_g~_s,t. 1_.979
so that we can proceed to discuss and evaluate them. Your
cooperation in this endeavor is much appreciated. A memorandum
similar to this one will be sent to appropriate offices throughout
the Intelligence Community.
