Subject: INTELLIGENCE COM1!UNITY LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM FOR
THE SECOND SESSION OF THE 99TH CONGRESS
85-3906
Reference is made to your memorandum dated
September 13, 1985, in which you requested a listing and brief
description of various legislative initiatives which we antic-
ipate recommending during the next session of the 99th Congress.
AMENDMENTS TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
These amendments would better enable us to protect
sensitive information and the identities of confidential
sources from public disclosure.
EXCLUSIVE TERRORISM JURISDICTION
This proposal would provide discretion to the
Attorney General or his designee to exercise exclusive juris-
diction for terrorist investigations.
EXPEDITIOUS DEPORTATION OF TERRORIST ALIENS
The FBI will continue to work with the Department of
Justice in an effort to streamline the procedures by which aliens
engaged in terrorist activities may be summarily deported.

Director
Central Intelligence Agency
RIGHT TO FINANCIAL PRIVACY ACT AMENDMENTS
To require financial institutions to disclose requested
records in foreign counterintelligence investigations.
PERMANENT UNDERCOVER AUTHORITIES
Current law, expressed in annual authorization bills,
permits the FBI to be exempt from certain statutes if doing so
is necessary to conduct undercover operations. We continue to
advocate permanent exemption authority for undercover operations.
We also recommend clear legislative authority to lease space,
without disclosing the Government's involvement, for
surveillances and monitoring Title III and Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act intercepts in other than undercover operations.
ACCESS TO TAX RETURN INFORMATION IN FOREIGN COUNTER-
INTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATIONS
Provide authority in foreign counterintelligence
cases to receive tax return and taxpayer information regarding
those individuals who are the subjects of those investigations.
ACCESS TO TELEPHONE TOLL RECORDS
Provide authority in foreign counterintelligence
cases to receive telephone toll record information pursuant
to national security letters which are being denied pursuant
to certain state privacy statutes, especially in California.
FOREIGN EXECUTIVE EXCHANGE PROGRAM
This proposal would create statutory authority to
budget funds for a foreign vistor exchange program similar to
that in effect at other U. S. Government agencies.

MEMORANDUM FOR: See Distribution
FROM: STAT
Chief, Legislation Division
Office of Legislative Liaison
SUBJECT: Legislative Program for the Second Session of
the Ninety-Ninth Congress
1. The Office of Management and Budget requires that the
head of each Federal agency submit a proposed legislative program
for Administration clearance each fall for the session of
Congress which begins the following January. This memorandum
initiates the process of formulating the Central Intelligence
Agency legislative program for the Second Session of the Ninety-
Ninth Congress, and the Agency's contribution to the Intelligence
Community program that also will be submitted by the Director of
Central Intelligence.
2. The following guidelines are provided to aid your
component in the preparation of proposals for inclusion in
the legislative program:
-- Items contained in the current legislative program,
a copy of which is attached for your information,
should be repeated to indicate a continued interest
in the passage of these initiatives;
-- It is not necessary to submit specific statutory
language, or to specify a statute to be amended.
A description of each problem or goal, accompanied
by an explanation of why it is thought that
legislation is necessary to solve or achieve it,
is sufficient; and
- All suggestions also should be accompanied by your
component's views as to whether or not the proposal
has Intelligence Community applicability.
3. I would appreciate receiving your proposals by
20 September 1985. Your cooperation in this matter is
much appreciated.
