SUBJECT: Review of Intelligence Charter Legislation -
SSCI Revision of Titles I and II and
Title III r ft and Revised Draft of
Title IV u
1. Overall, the Office of Communications finds no
significant problems with Titles I, II, III, and IV insofar
as our mission and functions are concerned.
25X1
2. Of minor concern is an apparent conflict between
sections 414 (b) (13) and 115 (c). The conflict concerns
the support to, and the duties of, the DNI and the DCI.
OC is tasked with providing communications support to both
the DNI and the DCI; however, should the DNI be someone
other than the DCI, some jurisdictional issues could arise.
It appears this problem stems from a change in Title I
which is not carried throughout the remaining titles.

3. Other of our observations which may be of interest
are as follows:
a. Title I. Section 133 (a) requires Presidential
authorization of all Special Activities; however, the
final sentence of"t at section implies that Special
Activities may be conducted without Presidential
approval if no NSC member or committee believes the
activity involves substantial risk. It appears this
inconsistency ought to be remedied.

b. It appears that in Title I, Section 112 (a)
there should be a definitive statement of NSC respon-
sibilities with respect to Special Activities. The
NSC is elsewhere in the Act given a significant role
in Special Activities. u
4. We appreciate having the opportunity to comment
remain up-to-date with developments on this legislation.
