NOTE FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Daniel A. Childs
Comptroller
SUBJECT: Addendum to OCA Memorandum (OCA 87-5738)--Your Meeting with
Representatives Stokes/Hyde
Dave Gries asked me to prepare an addendum to his memorandum on your
meeting with Represenatives Stokes and Hyde tomorrow--on the issue of GAO
audit of CIA activities.
As you know, Senator Glenn and Representative Panetta have introduced
similar Bills in their respective bodies authorizing GAO to audit CIA
activities. Senator Glenn testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee
last week on his Bill, and is apparently pressing Representative Stokes to
support the Panetta Bill in the House.
This issue has ben raised with Representative Stokes on a number of
occasions in the past, but not recently. I gather `:ze is generally sympathetic
to our position, but might need some reinforcing in light of the Glenn
pressure and the recent introduction of the Panetta Bill. I suggest you take
the opportunity tomorrow to reinforce our opposition to GAO audit of CIA
activities, along the following lines:
-- Security: Raises serious concerns about security and the protection
of sources and methods.
-- Oversight: gould undermine douse Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence oversight responsibilities; and duplicate a capability
the Committee is already taking steps to establish.
-- Authority: Gives the Comptroller General excessively broad authority
to undertake unrestricted self-initiated investigations/audits, and
unrestricted access to all documents and records.
If you need anything else on this issue, please let ,me know.
Daniel A. Childs, Jr.

MEMORANDUM FOR: The Director
FROM: David P. Grie.~.
Dir4gtbr-of'Congressional Affairs
SUBJECT: Your Monthly Meeting on 17 November with
Representatives Stokes and Hyde
Your regular monthly meeting with Representatives
Louis Stokes (D., OH) and Henry Hyde (R., IL), the Chairman
and Ranking Minority Member of the House Intelligence
Committee respectively, is scheduled for 17 November at
2 p.m. in Room H-405 at the Capitol. Also attending are
Bob Gates and I and Tom Latimer and Tom Smeeton from the
Committee Staff.
A summary of the last meeting with Mr. Stokes and Mr. Hyde
is attached at Tab A.
Suggested talking points follow:
-- A earances before the Committee: I suggest that you
open the meeting by expressing your appreciation for these
periodic meetings with Mr. Stokes and Mr. Hyde. Referring
to your telephone conversation with Mr. Stokes on
10 November 1987, you can reassure him that you would
welcome the opportunity to appear before the whole
Committee at any time and hope that this can be arranged
in the near future.
-- Committee call for a comprehensive examination of cur
counterintelligence organization, management and
techniques: On 4 November Mr. Stokes sent you a letter,
signed by all Members of the House Intelligence Committee,
calling for a comprehensive, critical examination
throughout the intelligence Community of our counter-
intelligence organization, management and techniques.

service. You can state that you share e i r concern wi
this-serious problem, and assure Mr. Stokes and Mr. Hyde
that every effort will be made to conduct a thorouch
review so that we can remedy this situation.
-- Congressional Oversicht: There are three issues
involving proposals for further controls of the Agency
with which you are already very familiar and which you
will want to discuss with Mr. Stokes and Mr. Hyde. These
issues will be particularly pertinent given the fact that
the Iran/Contra report will be released on the day of your
meeting. The proposals include a statutory Inspector
General and Senate confirmation of the General Counsel,
both of which are recommendations contained in the Iran/
Contra report. Furthermore, also on the horizon is the
Panetta rill which calls for the General Accounting office
to conduct audits of the Agency. We are against these
proposals and you may wish to use this opportunity to
express your opposition to them. Mr. Hyde at least has
already expressed his opposition to the Panetta Bill, and
we believe Mir. Stokes may share that opinion because the
Bill would infringe on the responsibilities of our
oversight Committees.
-- Disciplinary action against Mr. Brown and Mr. Wilson:
If the opportunity presents itself, you may wish to raise
the issue of whether Mr. Stokes has taken any action to
discirline House Intelligence Committee !'embers
George Brown (D., CA) and Charlie Wilson (D., TX) for
their advertent or inadvertent leaks this past year.
Mr. Stokes shared our consternation regarding these leaks
and had said he was considerinc the best way to handle
this problem... r
