TALKING POINTS FOR YOUR CALL TO MILLER
In passing the Diplomatic Security Act, the Senate went
against assurances CIA had been given on the language of two
key sections.
- Section 103 (b) (2) - Secretary of State't role in
setting overseas staffing levels: Senate-passed version used
"establish" - CIA had pushed for "coordinate".
- Section 106 (b) - "Savings" clause: House-passed
bill said nothing in Act "impairs" intelligence activities -
Senate version watered this down.
? Administration/OMB & State must indicate to conferees
that everything should be done to return to "coordinate"
instead of "establish" and that House language on savings
clause is preferable.
? DCI letter to conferees on these points will be sent to
OMB for clearance next week - OMB must clear expeditiously.

STATEMENT OF
ADMINISTRATION May 29, 1986
POLICY (Senate)
H.R. 4151 - Omnibus Di lomatic Security and Anti-Terrorism
Act of 1986
(Rep. Mica (D) Florida and 33 others)
The Administration supports Senate passage of H.R. 4151,and the
adoption of amendments to:
revise section 103(b)(2) to require the Secretary of State
to coordinate rather than establish overseas staffing levels
because as drafted this section could diminish the .
management prerogatives of other agency heads;
delete section 402 which allows only U.S. persons or U.S.
joint venture persons to bid on diplomatic construction
projects exceeding $5 million in value because such a
limitation is objectionable on trade policy grounds and
could reduce the benefits to open competition, thereby,
increasing costs;
-- modify section 604 to clarify that Fascell Fellows would not
be considered Federal employees for the purposes
retirement, health insurance or life insurance benefits; and
amend the authorizations for appropriations in sections 501
and 502 to clarify that any appropriations would fall under
existing FY 1986 and 1987 authorizations for the
Administration of Foreign Affairs [P.L. 99-93).
This is OMB's policy statement
on Diplomatic Security. It
was sent to Senate Foreign
Relations on 29 May. At our
request, a113 inserted the
yellowed amendment. However,
as we now know, the Senate
disregarded ad's request.
