issue and draft language or asking for further clarification or draft
language from CIA, and in a few instances disagreeing altogether with
our point of view.

Page 3, section 103(1): why is the phrase "national defense"
used instead- o national security"?
Elliot Maxwell explained that the phrase "national
security is a hollow and infinitely expandable phrase, one that
has no meaning anymore.
Bill Funk agreed with the Agency and IC Staff viewpoint
that the phrase national defense has a distinctly narrow military
implication which tends to totally ignore such concerns as economic
intelligence.
Pat Norton expressed surprise that we would have problems
with the phrase defense. "
Elliot Maxwell ended the discussion by stating that he would
like from us specifics as to what we consider encompassed in the
phrase "national security. "
Synopsis:
1. No split on SSCI side visible on this issue.
2. HPSCI (Bill Funk) sides with CIA on this issue.
3. Maxwell willing to leave this issue open to further
discussion.

Page 3, sectio : why is t e phrase execu ive, egis a ive,
and judicial branchesT1 used in the context of this subparagraph?
OLC, OGC/CIA. stated that as written the phrase makes the legislative
and judicial branches foreign intelligence consumers, viz. , statutory
clients of the Intelligence Community. Such statutory language extends
the Agency's responsibilities to the Executive Branch to the Legislative
and Judicial Branches as well. Agency participants stressed that the
codification of the Legislative and Judicial Branches as statutory foreign
intelligence consumers and the DNI's duty to supply each Branch with
national intelligence information was particularly evident on page 16,
sub-paragraph (f)(1).
Elliot Maxwell stated that it was not the intent of the drafters to
make the Legislative and Judicial Branches co-equal with the Executive
Branch in terms of being statutory foreign intelligence consumers but
to give the Legislative and Judicial Branches access to "accurate, relevant,
timely information and analysis as may be necessar to enable those
branches to make sound and informed decisions" (page 3), or as expressed
on page 16, to make available to those Branches "national intelligence
information and analyses needed by such branches to fulfill their responsi-
bilities under the Constitution and laws of the U. S. . .. "
CIA representatives stressed that notwithstanding the intent of
the drafters, such language could be misconstrued to mean that Congress
and the Judiciary are in fact and by statute foreign intelligence consumers
co-equal with the Executive Branch in this regard. The point was also raised
that this provision could be construed as extending to the judiciary a
"sword" to require that the Executive provide intelligence information,
arguably, perhaps, in open session.
Pat Norton tried to compromise first by sayin~ that we could
replace ''executive, legislative and judicial branches with the word
"Government. " He then suggested that section 4 might be rewritten
in pertinent part to read:
"(4) to ensure that the executive branch and as
necessary and in accordance with the Constitution
and laws of the U. S. the legislative and judicial
branches are provided ... '
Synopsis:
1. SSCI may be split on this issue.
2. Pat Norton of the SSCI may provide a moderating, pro-
Agency influence vis-a-vis Elliot Maxwell on this point.

Page 10, section 105: why is "counterterrorism considered
an intelligence activity ?
CIA/IC Staff stated that as a general proposition the Agency
and particularly DDO does not consider counterterrorism as an
intelligence activity. DDO does not want counterterrorism to be
considered as a national intelligence activity. CIA may collect
counterterrorism intelligence which supports counterterrorism
activities conducted by other elements within the U. S. Government
but CIA does not engage in counterterrorism activity. Mention
was made of the fact that a similar problem as raised here exists
elsewhere in the draft.
Bill Funk cautioned that even though DDO does not want
to be charged with counterterrorism activity responsibility,
maybe at sometime in the future DDO would want this responsibility.
Elliot Maxwell indicated that he would like to hear more
from the DD on this topic, especially the reasons why the DDO
opposes getting involved in or being associated with counter-
terrorism activities.
Synopsis:
1. There is confusion as to what is meant by counterterrorism.
2. Elliot Maxwell may be able to be "educaa.:'" to our point
of view.
3. HPSCI seems to be saying, "Beware CIA, don't sew
yourself into a statutory box on this issue. "

Page 10a, section 106(a): what is the purpose or legislative intent
behind this whole section?
Elliot Maxwell stated that the intent in this section is to
give the President authority to place activities carried on by
Government agencies/ departments outside of the IC within the
DNI's authority as a national intelligence activity. The example
given by Maxwell was the case of the Department of Agriculture
engaging in crop analyses which arguably are of national intel-
ligence value.
CIA. indicated that in its view the same thing could be done
by definition.
Synopsis:
1. No decision arrived at re subsection (a).
2. The operative effect of subsection (a) is to force
the DNI to address the "intelligence vs. intelligence-related
activities" issue.

Page 10a, section 1.06(b): what is the purpose of having this
subsection since the same information is presented in the annual
budget report?
IC Staff stated that as written this subsection is unacceptable
since the requirement of reporting both to the President and the
Congress could cause friction if, for example, the President
does not accept the report or portions of the required report and,
notwithstanding the Presidential disapproval, the DCI must present
the report to Congress.
Elliot Maxwell agreed to drop the congressional review
in subsection
Synopsis
1. Subsection (b) will be modified to reflect
comments.

CIA pointed out ambiguity of the language as written, i. e. ,
that the qualifying language 'whenever there is no Deputy Director"
applies to all three specified instances in which the designated
ADNI would act in place of the Director.
Elliot Maxwell agreed to address it in terms of remedying
the ambiguity.

Page 14, section 108(b): the same counterterrorism comment was
raised here as raised under section 105 at page 10.
Bill Funk pointed to the definition of counterterrorism, as
it appeared in t Re 18 October 1977 draft Title I, to argue that since
this definition of "counterter.rorism activity" includes the collec-
tion, retention, processing, analysis and dissemination of counter-
terrorism as well as any activity to prevent or counter an
international terrorist activity perhaps CIA might want to look
more closely at its position.
CIA pointed out that it is not certain that the definitions
section in the latest SSCI draft will be the same as the definitions
section found in the 18 October draft.
Elliot Maxwell agreed to consider all counterterrorism
comments when he has an opportunity to discuss the issue with DDO.
Synopsis:
1. HPSCI again cautions CIA not to be premature in its position
on this point (see comments herein on section 105 at page 10 of the
draft).
2. Point still open for discussion with SSCI.

Page 14, section 108(c): what is the meaning and operative effect
o the term ensure ?
CIA raises the question of the meaning and operative effect
of the term "ensure. " It was argued by CIA representatives that
it creates an impossible task.
Elliot Maxwell agreed that this subsection is not couched in
terms of an obligation. It merely says that the topics raised in
subsection (c) shoulJ if concern to the DNI, that the DNI should
be monitoring the various areas mentioned to make sure problems
do not occur.
Bill Funk sided with CIA stating that such statutory language
could have an operative effect of creating whole bureaucratic offices
just to monitor and "ensure" each topic mentioned.
Elliot Maxwell agreed to consider alternate language from
CIA to take the place of "ensure. "
Synopsis: 1. the issue is not settled; Elliot Maxwell willing to read
and consider our language.
2. HPSCI sides with CIA on this issue.

Page 14, section 108(b): with .regard to the issue of the responsi-
bilities of the DNI, 5{9CI attendees agreed to look at the Executive
Order to consider how to handle this issue.
Page 15, section 108(d): CIA indicated that this subsection causes
confusion as to who heads the CIA. SSCI attendees agreed to
clarify the language here.
Page 15, section 108(e): CIA expressed its displeasure with the use
of the phrase -responsible for. " It was stressed that instead of making
the Director "responsible for" collection he should be given "authority
to collect. " If this was the Committee's intention, the language as
written does not reflect that intention. SSCI attendees agreed to
clarify this issue.
Page 16, section 108(e)(3): CIA argued that this subsection is too
restrictive and that the phrase "utilizing human sources" may be
construed as limiting the Director to coordinating only foreign
intelligence gathered by human sources. What about collection
by technical means? SSCI attendees agreed to consider striking
the phrase "utilizing human sources. " In the alternative they
will consider chaning "utilizing" to "including the utilization of
human resources. '
Page 16, section 108(f)(2): CIA questioned the use of the qualifiers
"fully" ''carefully'' in statutory language. SSCI attendees
agreed to consider changing this subsection.
Page 17, section 108(g)(2): CIA questioned the meaning and the value
of te phraseology "increase the usefulness" in statute. Bill Funk
agreed with CIA stating this was an example of legislating "micro-
management. " He argued that such things should be considered
in the section 108(c) subsection. SSCI attendees will consider our
revision of 108(c) as previously mentioned herein.
Page 17, section 108(g)(3): CIA raised the issue of whether this
subsection requires access. SSCI did not address this issue
but argued that the safeguard herein is the phrase "is relevant
to. " CIA countered by questioning who is to make such a deter-
mination. CIA expressed the opinion that this subsection, along
with the preceding subsection, serve no purpose.

Page 18, section 108(j)(1)(c): whether international agreements
referred to therein must be sent to Congress 30 days before entered
into and whether such should be transmitted under an injunction of
secrecy?
CIA argued that the "30 days before" should be replaced
by "60 days after"to make this provision comparable with the
reporting requirement in the Case Act.
Bill Miller supported a compromise position that would
have the Director advising the appropriate committees of Congress
of proposed intelligence liaison agreements that are "international
agreements, " in addition to passing the written text of such agreements
within 60 days of implementation.
Synopsis :
1. SSCI split on this issue. Influence of Bill Miller resulted
in the compromise.
2. Others on SSCI staff seemed to go along with the compromise.
With regard to the "injunction of secrecy" issue, Elliot Maxwell
argued that it need not be mentioned since S. Res. 400 covers this.
CIA argued that even if it does, S. Res. 400 still must be incor-
porated into the legislation to be effective therein. No agreement
was reached on this issue.

Page 18, section 108(1). Sources and Methods issue.
CIA argued that as written, and since this is the only reference
to such authority, this language re sources and methods is unacceptable
and that as a minimum we would accept nothing less than the statutory
authority presently in existence. As written the SSCI language grants
sources and methods authority only insofar as the Director is given authority
to develop "common security standards. "
Elliot Maxwell took note of our position on this issue
but did not indicate which way he would come out on this point
in the new draft.
Synopsis:
1. CIA made its position unequivocably clear on this point.
2. Elliot Maxwell did not indicate one way or another
whether our comments would be reflected in his next draft.

Page 20, section 108(n) : issue regarding termination authority.
CIA stated that the draft language limits the Director's
termination authority to "national security" situations and
questioned why the draft departs from current statutory
language. Moreover, CIA argued that the language as written
would require each case of authority exercised thereunder to
be reported.
Elliot Maxwell agreed to receive our redraft of this
section and take our language into consideration. He indicated that the
Committee is concerned that the termination authority be available only
for what in effect would be cases concerning security problems (not
e. g. , for "RIP~s "). Mr. Maxwell indicated some additional background
information would be welcome.
Synopsis:
1. Issue still open for discussion.
2. CIA to provide redraft.
3. Maybe some confusion within SSCI staff as to the appropriate
scope of the termination authority.

Page 20, section 108(o): CIA. pointed out that the language of this sub-
section would arguably allow the DCI to get around the FOIA. It was
agreed that some limitations such as the phrase "in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations" should be added to the end of the
first sentence of this subparagraph.
Page 21, section 108(p): The overlap between this subsection and the
general provisions and intent of subsection 108 (c) were noted. This
overlap should be taken care of in our redrafting of the 108 (c) sub-
section (see appropriate comment herein).
Page 23, section 110 (a): CIA raised two issues in this subsection:
why aren't the Assistant DNI's placed at a level III on the Executive
Schedule, and (2) why are these positions politicized by making them
subject to the advice and consent? The discussion that ensued re the
level of compensation centered on comparable positions in other
Government agencies. No strong argument was leveled against the
level III position. With regard to the "advice and consent" argument,
our position was noted.
Page 24, section 111: CIA questioned the purpose of this whole section
and stressed that as written it reads almost as if to say that nothing
is delegable hereunder unless done pursuant to section 111.
Elliot Maxwell stated that one reason for section III is the concern of
preventing the DNI from ultimately shrugging off his responsibilities to
the Assistant DNI's. Mr. Maxwell also indicated his intent to make the
Presidential transfer authority in section 111 available as an alternative to
one provision of theReorganization Act (a transfer under this Act, e.g.,
would be subject to jurisdiction of the Governmental Affairs Committee).
While it wasn't specifically agreed to drop this subsection altogether,
Elliot Maxwell did indicate that he would consider including language
to the effect that the ADNI's would "assist the DNI in carrying out his
duties, " and possibly that the Director could delegate his duties and
authorities to the DDNI and the ADNIs.
Synopsis
1. CIA position taken into consideration.
2. Duties of the ADNI's to be clarified.

Page 25, section 112(a)
CIA stressed their position to go with the Executive Order language with
regard to this subsection. CIA stated that the Director should have
approval authority.
Elliot Maxwell conceded that the language as written is DOD language from
their draft.
Bill Funk made a strong argument for CIA's position hereunder and suggested
that much of the detail in subsection 112(a) was unnecessary.
Synopsis
1. CIA's postion was agreed to in principle.
2. HPSCI favors CIA position.
Page 27, section 113(a)(1): CIA stated that the Office of Finance wants to
retain an annual budget and may not want to have provision made for
appropriations on a two year basis as section 113(a)(1) seems to provide.
SSCI attendees noted our position, and said they would like to receive
a fuller explanation of our position before they changed their language.
Page 28, section 113(a)(3): CIA pointed out this subsection must be
modified since as is it reads as if the Director can reprogram between
entities. Elliot Maxwell stated that the intent was not to allow
reprogramming between entities. Comments from CIA Finance should
address this issue directly.
Page 28, section 113(b)(1): CIA indicated that as written it is unclear as to
whether the CRF is made up of CIA. funds. Elliot Maxwell stated that
this in fact was the intent of the drafters and agreed to make it explicit.
In that regard the term "Director" at the beginning of the fourth li ne
in the subsection will be changed to read "CIA. " To provide carry-over
authority it was agreed to include words allowing the Director to 'establish
and maintain" a fund (first line of subsection (b)(1)). The word "appropriated"
in the third line is to be changed to "designated" in order to avoid potential
problems relating to lack of a specific appropriation for CIA funds. Mike
O'Neil of HPSCI, however, stated that his preference, which is shared
by others on the HPSCI, is to have such funds lapse.
Page 28, section 113(b)(1)(B): CIA pointed out that this subsection requires
onerous reporting. Specifically, CIA asked what is to be included in the
phrase "facts and circumstances. " What specificity does this require?
Elliot Maxwell responded that this is an open question to be worked out

 Approved For Release 2003/12/19 : CIA-RDP86-00101 R000100030015-5
through subsequent procedures. In the third and sixth line of the sub-
section the words "withdrawal and" should be inserted before the word
"expenditure. "
Page 29, section 113(c): CIA indicated that the quarterly reports called
for herein should be relaxed. Elliot Maxwell said he would consider
semi-annual reporting. CIA also questioned whether the report would
require details of the expenditures or merely reference to the fact of
expenditures. Elliot Maxwell indicated that such details as may be
required remain to be worked out.
Page 30, remaining portion, section 113(d): CIA objected to the phrase
any committee of the Congress having jurisdiction over... as being
too wide a gap which in effect undermines the exclusivity CIA has hoped
to develop vis-a-vis HPSCI and SSCI. Elliot Maxwell stated that by
using the word "committee" he was limiting the impact of this subsection
since no subcommittees could claim jurisdiction without going through
the committee chairman. It was pointed out that many chairmen could
be easily influenced to claim "jurisdiction over such activities. " No
agreement was reached.
Page 31, all of section 114: CIA stated that it found all of section 114 to be
intolerable and indicated that it would like it to be redone, utilizing as a base
the draft E.O. provisions on sensitive collection operations and special
activities. It was noted that as written it goes far beyond the Executive
Order. Bill Funk generally supported CIA in this regard and characterized
section 114 as written as "micromanagement. " Elliot Maxwell indicated
that we should defer discussion of the issues involved until after we
have a chance to review his new draft and specifically the section
therein dealing with sensitive collection and special activities.
Page 49-52, section 122: CIA indicated that this section as written raises
problems as to who--as between the DNI and the Attorney General--is to
have reporting responsibilities in the areas of domestic and foreign
counterintelligence. Elliot Maxwell took note of our problems hereunder
and agreed to look at this with a view to making reporting requirements
coexistent with responsibilities.
Page 53, section 123(a): CIA stated that as written, subsection (a) could be
construed to require Cabinet level persons to be directly involved
in working level discussions re communications security. It was agreed
to change this subsection to allow for the appointment of "designees"
to handle such matters.

TITLE I
STAT
Convents on Revised Draft of the Senate's Proposed Bill, National
Intelligence Reorganization and Reformat of 1977
Page 3, Section 103, paragraph 1:
Revised paragraph 1 specifies the authority for the conduct of
intelligence activities necessary for the "national defense into the
foreign relations of the United States." In lieu of the original,
more inclusive wording covering "the protection of the national
security of the United States," this narrower definition is repeated in
several other sections of the Bill. This appears too restrictive in
that certain intelligence activities (economic intelligence, counter-
terrorism, etc.) appear to be better covered under national security
terminology rather than national defense.
Page 13, section 107, paragraph g:
The DNI must provide by regulation which Assistant DNI shall
act in the place of the DNI, when there is no DDNI, etc. This is quite
restrictive in terms of the DNI's option to select the officer best
suited for the current situation at any given point in time.
ILLEG.IB -P ge-14, section 10&:
1--responsibilities do not include "special activities.",
Page 15, section 108, paragraph d:
"The DNI will act as the DCI." Title IV of the proposed Bill
indicates that the President may appoint different persons as DNI and

Page 2U, section 108, paragraph m:
This provides for more restrictive termination authority from
"in the interest of the United States" to "in the interest of the
national security of the United States." This wording would limit the
present termination authorities under current law by requiring a relation-
ship of terminations to only national security grounds.
Page 20, section 108:
The new draft has deleted paragraph 31, referring to providing
administrative, technical and support activities in the United States
and abroad.. This section must be reinstated or provided elsewhere in
the Bill.
Page 23, section 110, paragraph a:
This establishes the Assistant DNI positions at Executive
Schedule Level IV.
Page 24, section-111, paragraph a:
This section needs to be looked at closely in terms of the
transfer of DNI authorities and duties by the President, subject to
his notification of proposed transfer of such duties. The question
is whether this is intended to cover temporary absences of the DNI
as well. The current wording appears to be quite restrictive.
Page 31, section 114, paragraph a:
Restriction to national defense and foreign relations of
the United States appears more restrictive than the original wording
of national security. As elsewhere in the Bill, national security
appears more appropriate to cover the broader areas of coverage required.

General Comment:
Nowhere in this draft Bill is it stated whether the DNI group
are hired, promoted, etc., within the competitive service or, as is
the case with CIA in proposed Title IV, outside the competitive service.
We have trouble with the termination authority and the availability of
such authority only to the DNI and not to the Head of CIA. No provision
is made for establishing grade levels of supergrades, unlike the limita-
tion found in Title IV.
