MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: SA/DCI/IA
SUBJECT: Your Meeting with Judge Clark, 22 June 1983
1. The following topics are on the agenda:
-- NSDD-97 Steering Group. This directive set national security
telecommunications policy. It did not include CIA as a member
of the steering group (OSTP, NSC, OMB, and Clark or his
representative constitute the
The DDA has prepared a background note
to this effect. A copy of NSDD-97 is included.

Chad. The DDI I prepared talking points summarizing its
assessment on 4he Chadian dissidents' advance, the role of Libya,
Nigeria, and France., and the signficance of a possible Chadian
defeat at Faya Largeau.
-- NSSD-13, National Space Strategy. Judge Clark's memo of 20 June
ac ow le ges receipt of inputs to the study on space strategy.
In addition to its call for continued support in this study
which sould lead to a Presidential decision in early September,
the memo indicates the Judge finds the notion of a unified
space command attractive. You may find this an appropriate time
to restate your concern to keep the NRO/NRP intact. This
could, I believe, be done even with the creation of a unified
space command. The intelligence community has,'however, large
stakes involved in the present structure and operating style;
let's not change a good thing without guarantees that it would
be better. The IC Staff has prepared talking points.
2. The following topics are not on the formal agenda but you may wish
to raise them with the Judge;
-- Counterintelligence. You (DCI) may wish to recount
developments at the counterintelligen
last week.

-- FOIA. You (DDCI) may wish to tell of your FOIA testimony
and its basic thrust: protection of sources and methods.
As you know, some NSC'ers have expressed concern that an
FOIA bill provide relief for the community and not just CIA.
Ken DeGraffenreid in particular took some relief that your
statement to the SSCI noted the possibility of other agencies
weighing in.
-- NSPG on the Middle East.
-- LSG on Central America. This group will meet at 3:30 p.m.
tomorrow. You -may have some issues to follow-up with the
Judge.

Topic for DCI/DDCI Meeting with Judge Clark
1. National Security Decision Directive-97 (NSDD-97), National
Security Telecommunications Policy, was approved and signed by the President
on 13 June. NSDD-97 not only replaces Presidential Directive 53, but it
also deals with the totality of telecommunications as it affects national
security.
2. In April we submitted a number of modifications to the NSDD-97
draft. Some of the modifications were incorporated in the final document.
However, the most critical recommendation submitted is not contained in the
final document--in view of the pervasive effect which NSDD-97 has on the
Intelligence Community in general
