MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr.

Executive Assistant,,
S. 2284 - National Intelligence Act of
Your Memorandum, Same Subject, dated
12 February 1980
1. As explained in a telephone conversation between
Mr. and the undersigned on 21 February 1980,
the Office o Communications (OC) required additional time to
examine the voluminous material covered in the draft National
Intelligence Act of 1980. Following our review of the package,
we have concluded - as mentioned in the conversation referred
to above - that the draft is acceptable except-for certain
language contained in Title VI.
2. We were pleased to see that this latest version of
the Bill remedies many of the problem areas of Title VI which
OC identified in earlier versions; however, not all of the
shortcomings have been corrected. Some wording contained in
Sections 613(a)(14) and 641(d)(1), which had been identified
as problematical nearly two years ago, remains basically
unchanged. Also, if the words "coordinate," "consultation,"
"review," and "guidance" are to be interpreted as elements of
control, then Section 641(d)(1) may be considered to provide
the Director of NSA with such control over certain CIA
functions.
3. OC has particular concern for the wording used in
Section 641(d)(1), which requires that CIA allow the Director
of NSA to review unique COMSEC methods and procedures in
support of clandestine activities. We have-repeatedly

objected to that "prior review" caveat. Accordingly, it is
requested that the Office of General Counsel endeavor to have
the phrase "after review by the Dir " 'cken from the
final clause of Section 641(d)(1).
