Reviving a Presidential Panel
The Reagan Administration is expected to revive a White
House panel called the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory
Board, created by President Eisenhower but disbanded by Jimmy
Carter. The board was usually composed of establishment leaders,
and Carter thought they weren't rigorous enough in reviewing
CIA operations. William Casey, Ronald Reagan's campaign man-
ager, once served on the PFIAB and so did Washington lawyer
Edward Bennett Williams, one of the few Democrats on the
Reagan transition team. Vice President-elect George Bush,
worked closely with the board during his tenure as CIA director
under President Ford.
