On behalf of the Director of Central Intelligence, I would
like to express support for the comments of the Department of
Defense (DOD) on H.R. 4836, the "Land Remote-Sensing
Commercialization Act of 1984." We support those DOD comments
that propose changes to this bill to ensure that the DOD and
the Department of State retain the authority to establish
conditions concerning national security and international legal
obligations, respectively. A list of the pertinent DOD
suggested changes is enclosed.
The Office of Management and Budget advises that there is
no objection to the submission of this report from the
standpoint of the Administration's program.
I appreciate the opportunity to comment on this matter.
Sincerely,
Clair E. George

Dear Mr. Chairman:
On behalf of the Director of Central Intelligence, I would
like to provide you with our comments on S. 2292, the "Land
Remote Sensing Satellite Communications Act of 1984."
As you know, hearings have been held on a companion to
S. 2292 in the House, B.R. 4836. In the course of these
hearings, the Department of Defense (DOD) proposed important
changes to H.R. 4836 that would ensure that DOD and the
Department of State retain the authority to establish
conditions concerning national security and international legal
obligations, respectively.
I believe that amendments similar to those DOD changes to
H.R. 4836 should be made to S. 2292. Consequently, I recommend
that the enclosed list of amendments be made to S. 2292.
The Office of Management and Budget advises that there is
no objection to the submission of this report from the
standpoint of the Administration's program.
I appreciate the opportunity to comment on this bill.
Sincerely,
Clair E. George
Director, Office of Legislative Liaison
