Dear Lenny:
On behalf of the Select Committee on Intelligence,
we wish to invite you to appear before a hearing the
Committee will hold on March 20th at 4:00 P.M. The purpose
of this hearing is to address issues relating to planning of
intelligence on potentially critical situations in the Third
World. This hearing is being held'-as part of the Select
Committee's review of the Fiscal Year 1987 National Intelli-
gence Strategy and the Committee's consideration of guidelines
for the FY 1988 National Intelligence Strategy.
The hearing will be held before the full Committee and,
of course, will be closed. Security considerations require
you to furnish a list of all witnesses and staff who will
accompany you to the Committee Clerk at least 24 hours in
advance of the hearing. We ask that your presentation be
as informal as possible and that any prepared statements be
submitted for the record. Your presentation should not
exceed 10-15 minutes so as to allow ample time for questions
by the Committee Members.
In our hearings, we are examining the entire intelligence
process; the levying of requirements; the collection,
analysis, and dissemination of intelligence information; and
the use of this information by the intelligence consumer.
As a key producer of intelligence on the Third World, the
Committee would like you briefly to outline your near-term
priorities for intelligence collection and analysis on
potentially critical situations that could affect important
U.S. interests there.
