1. Per your request, we have compared reference a with
our comments submitted to the DDA in reference c and have con-
firmed that Office of General Counsel (OCC) has noted all of
our concerns.
2. The following is a comparison of these two papers:
a. OL Comments:
Section 421: The provision for rental of real
property within and outside the United States has been
eliminated.
OCC Comment:
Section 421(a)(5): It was intended that Section
422(a) would provide overall, broad procurement authority.
This has satisfied no one, and we are requesting the
restoration of 421(a)(5).
b. OL Comment:
(1) Section 422: There are no specific pro-
visions for

SUBJECT: Proposed Intelligence Charter Legislation, Title IV,

(2) There are no specific provisions for the
transfer or assignment of Government property to
foreign governments.
0CC Comment:
Section 422: The whole area of STAT
and how best to explain it to the Congress
is under discussion in OCC.
Section 422: The paragraph does not specifi-
cally provide for the procurement, storage, and mainte-
nance of ammunition and ordnance material.
0CC comment:
Section 422(a): With a sufficiently broad
procurement authority, there would appear to be no real
need to mention ordnance specifically.
Section 422: The provisions for DCI waiver
should also extend to Federal Property Management
Regulations (FPMRs) when deemed necessary by the Di-
rector.
CCC Comment:
Section 422(b): This suggestion seems appro-
priate and will be proposed to the SSCI staff.
e. CL Convent:
There appears to be no provision in the legis-
lation for the Agency to provide logistics support to
other Government agencies not specifically identified
with intelligence activities. Mutual aid and support
between Government agencies is common practice in
government when it is deemed to be in the best interest
of the government. We presume that participation by
the Agency will not be limited or excluded under Title IV.

0CC Comment:
We are proposing an addition to Section 424(2)
to make clear the authority to continue to maintain
relations with nonintelligence agencies.
3. Reference b notes that the area in the legislation
dealing with proprietaries is still a matter of concern.
who is assigned. by OGC to work on the proposed
i , staren that OGC believes the subject is of sufficient
importance to warrant a section of its own.
4. We reviewed the proposed draft of Section 423, Pro-
prietaries, which now pulls together under this section all
references to proprietaries. There are no substantive changes
in the legislation resulting from this separate section.
S. We solicited comments from Procurement Management
Staff and Procurement Division (PD). PD agrees with 0GC that
the threshold of $50,000 for reporting the liquidation of
proprietaries be raised. PD recommends at least $100,000;
according to OGC may be going for $300,000.
