MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Plans and Programs Staff, OL
FROM:
Chief, Supply Division, OL
SUBJECT: Review of Intelligence Charter Legislation
Issues Paper
We have reviewed the "Issues Paper" and the following
represents our response to those areas in which the Supply
Division is involved. No reference is made to subjects
not applicable to our function.
Issue 10 - The reference to Section 413(a)(2)
should read 413(g)(2). In this regard, as we have
stated previously, we feel that the word "service"
should be defined. It could pertain to an intelli-
gence or operational need or to an administrative
or logistical function.
Issue 16 - We concur that the paragraph
contained in 1-812 should be included at the end
of Section 413.
Issue 19 - We recommend that the following be
a
added to Section 421(a)( and manage
supply system to support
operations. Implicit In this au orization
is the authority to acquire materiel through other
U.S. Government agencies and commercial sources;
maintain domestic supply depots; maintain, test,
and store ordnance materiel; establish property
accountability systems; and to transport materiel
through its own and other U.S. Government and
commercial resources."

Issues Paper
Issue 21 - We agree that a new subsection is
needed but suggest the following wording: "Dispose
of property and use the proceeds therefrom to
purchase new property notwithstanding the provisions
of [cite relevant law] and to release excess
property on a nonreimbursable basis to a foreign
government when the Director deems such actions
necessary to the successful performance of the
functions of the Agency or to protect the security
of Agency activities."
Issue 24 - We agree with the rewording of 24b
but suggest it should be extended to include the
transportation and utilization of firearms for
authorized training. In addition, we are unaware
of the firearms proposal submitted to the Office
of Management and Budget as cited in 24e.
Issue 26 - The procurement authority provided
in Section 422 is sufficient to cover our
procurement activities. Under Section 422(a),
we recommend that the wording of the first sentence,
lines 19 - 22, be reworded to state: "The Agency
is authorized to procure such property, supplies,
services, equipment, and facilities from commercial
sources and other Governmental agencies as may be
necessary to carry out its functions under this
act."
Issue 27 - It is felt that the provisions of
Section 139 will hamper our procurement activities
if ad hoc approvals must be obtained in each
instance when it is decided that the Agency interest
will not be disclosed. However, until specific
procedures are approved by the Attorney General, we
cannot determine the impact of this issue.
