Dear Mr. Casey:
Recent public reports indicate that high level government officials have
allegedly listened in on or recorded telephone conversations without the knowl-
edge or consent of all parties involved. Besides being improper and highly
unethical, such activities may also be in violation of various Federal or State
laws, regulations or existing tariffs, which were designed specifically to pre-
vent such abuses from occurring. Notwithstanding the strong actions taken by
the Congress over the last decade, it now appears there may be a reduced aware-
ness by government officials as to their ethical and legal responsibilities in
this area.
As you know, the General Services Administration (GSA) has promulgated
regulations to ensure that these improper or illegal activities do not occur.
To assist the Committee in its investigation of this matter, I request that you
forward to this Committee, within 15 days, the agency instructions for implement-
ing GSA regulation 101-37.311, including the supervisory controls required under
101-37.311-3(f). Further, I request that you provide the following documentation
which is required to be maintained by your agency under 101-37.311-4. This
includes: (1) all written determinations approved in 1983 by the agency head
in accordance with 101-37.311-4(a); (2) all service personnel who were designated
in writing during 1983 in accordance with 101-37.311-4(b); (3) all written agency
policies containing the minimum instructions set forth in 101-37.311-4(b); (4) all
requests to GSA for approval and installation of listening devices during 1983,
and (5) a copy of the agency program required by GSA to reevaluate at least every
two years the need for each determination authorizing the listening in on or
recording of telephone conversations.
Your full cooperation in the Committee's investigation of this matter is
greatly appreciated. With best wishes, I am
Sincerely,
6w*-(~
