This is in further response to your legislative referral
memorandum of 21 August 1985 asking for our views on a draft
report by the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA) on
The CIA had no objection to the ACDA report and we
communicated our views in that connection to you earlier so
that the report would not be held up. However, there were
other concerns in H.R. 1415 not addressed in the ACDA report
that may have a substantive impact on CIA activities.
Accordingly, we feel compelled to address these issues
independently to the extent they potentially affect CIA
While we believe that certain terms in the proposed Act,
such as "selective" or "qualitative" as used in Section 3 of
H.R. 1415, require clarification if they are to have any
effect, our main concern is focused on Section 5. Section 5,
in part, amends the provision on arms transfer estimates and
justifications of the AECA, 22 U.S.C. S2765(a) (5). In
pertinent part, the amended provision would read:
(a) no later than February 1 of each year, the
President shall transmit to the Congress, as part of
the annual presentation materials for security
assistance programs proposed for the next fiscal
year, a report which sets forth...
(b) the aggregate dollar value and quantity of
defense articles, defense services, and design and

construction services furnished by the United States
to each foreign country and international organization,
by category, for the preceding fiscal year, specifying
whether such articles and services were furnished--
CIA does not participate in transfers made pursuant to
security assistance programs, and the bill basically would be
unobjectionable were it so limited. Under the proposed
language of Section 5, however, the scope of the annual
reporting provision is unclear largely because of the inclusion
(i) by sale under chapter 2 of this Act,
(ii) by sale under chapter 2A of this Act,
(iii) by commercial sale licensed for permanent
export under section 38 of this Act. . .
(iv) by other authority . . . (emphasis added).
of the sweeping phrase "by other authority."
To the extent that the phrase "by other authority" in
Section 5 could be interpreted to require reports of activities
undertaken pursuant to S403(d)(3) of the National Security Act
of 1947, 50 U.S.C. S5402 et seq., and to the extent that such
reports would duplicate the reports provided to the
Intelligence Oversight Committees pursuant to S413 of the
National Security Act, we believe that Section 5 would be: (1)
objectionable as an unnecessary proliferation of sensitive
intelligence reporting to Congress; (2) contrary to the intent
and spirit of the oversight provisions of the National Security
Act which expressly limited intelligence reportin b the CIA
to two oversight committees; and (3) redundant.
Should the bill be actively considered, we would ask the
Administration's assistance in seeking further clarification
from the Committee of the term "other authority" found in

upon the request of either the chair-
man of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee or the chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
the President shall submit to that
committee copies of security assistance
surveys conducted by U.S. Govern-
ment personnel. This amendment also
clarifies the definition of security as-
sistance surveys for purposes of this
requirement. The rationale for this
amendment is that security assistance
surveys have proved to be the basis for
many of the arms sales proposed for
various nations by the executive
branch. Through periodic review of
these surveys, Congress Will be able to
better perform its oversight functions
related to arms sales and transfers.

Section 36(b) of the Arms Export
Control Act is amended to require a
notification to Congress of any change
in arms sale, already considered by
Congress, which provides a greater ca-
pability or which contains more sensi-
tive technology than the defense arti-
cles or defense services described in
the original certification submitted to
Congress for review.
This amendment is intended to deal
with situations such as the 1982 sale of
F-16 s to Pakistan. After that pro-
posed sale cleared the required con-
gressional review, the executive
branch decided to upgrade the avion-
ics of the Pakistani F-16 Without noti-
fication to the Congress for review of
that proposed upgrade of the aircraft.
The avionics upgrade proposed for
this F-16 sale involved more sensitive
technology than was originally justi-
fied to Congress when the sales case
was formally submitted. Because sensi-
tivity of technology is often a key
factor in a proposed arms sale, this
section of the Arms Export Control
Act merits revision to ensure that Con-
gress will in the future be able to
review, any prospective major revisions
in arms sales that have previously

course, there is never a good time to
raise the conventional arms limitation
issue with the Russians. There are
always tensions between our countries
and confrontations in the rest of the
world between Our systems of govern-
ment and our ideologies. However, the
fact that nuclear arms control talks
appear to be on track in Geneva could
provide an opening for preliminary
discussions about resumptions of the
talks.
In addition, we need to talk to the
non-Communist nations which cur-
rently are ahead of both the United
States and the Soviet Union in terms
of conventional arms transfer agree-
ments with developing nations. With
global conventional arms sales down
for 1983, now is the time to develop
agreements with the other major arms
suppliers to limit the quantity and
quality of conventional arms trans-
ferred to developing nations-especial-
ly those developing nations in regions
where a vigorous arms race has yet to
begin.
Conventional arms transfer limita.
tions will require a multilateral, mul-
tiyear effort. Nevertheless, it is my
hope that the Conventional Arms
Transfer Control Act will help to set
in motion the processes through
which conventional arms transfers to
the developing world can be re-
strained.
For the benefit of my colleagues, the
full text of the Conventional Arms
Transfer Control Act follows:

(9) the use of sophisticated weapons to
settle disputes by force increases the possi
billty that nuclear weapons might be used,
(10) conventional arms Sales have become
an arena for competition in the developing
world between non-Communist and Commu-
nist nations, and
(11) expenditures for conventional arms
by the developing world should be redirect-

economic development and the fulfillment
of human needs.
