Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/30: CIA-RDP88GO1116R001001680007-9 11 September 1986 FROM: Dave Gries SUBJECT: Legislation to move DCI up to Executive Level I and DDCI up to Executive Level II 1. Since 1980 we have attempted to introduce legislation providing for Executive Level I compensation for the DCI and Executive Level II compensation for the DDCI. On each occasion HPSCI has informally put us on notice that it will not accept such an amendment. We have had limited success with SSCI. Accordingly, all of our efforts have been through the Senate. 2. Our most recent attempt has been via the Intelligence Authorization bill for FY 86. Executive Level compensation is a matter within the jurisdiction of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee and Sen. Durenberger referred the matter to that Committee, which is chaired by Sen. Roth. Governmental Affairs voting was as follows: Against: Roth, Durenberger, Nunn, Glenn, Gore, Cochran, Levin, Chiles, Mathias and Rudman For: Eagleton, Stevens and Cohen Our reading of the vote is that those voting "against" were strongly against, while those voting "for" were only mildly supportive. 3. Talking points used to gain support for the amendment are as follows: -- The responsibility of the DCI and DDCI have increased dramatically in the last ten years. For example a world wide mandate for Anti-terrorism and Anti-Narcotics; Arms Control verification and monitoring requirements and responsibility for major expansion of technical systems -- DCI/DDCI need authority to match their responsibility -- DCI oversees intelligence community which includes DOD, DEA, NSA, and Intelligence components of Army, Navy, Air Force, Treasury, Energy, and FBI as well as Intelligence Community Staff 4. As an additional option to be used in a subsequent appeal to SSCI we can ask that the effective date of the amendment be set for FY 1989. This suggests that the DCI and DDCI are seeking the amendment to match the necessary authority with gain. the responsibilities of the Amendments are attached. offce rather than personal !
