Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/10/26: CIA-RDP90B01390R000100050006-8 X4 D frj(j) MEF4JRANDUM FOR: The Director The Deputy Director STAT FROM: Dave Gries r~T4ig . SUBJECT: Impact of '86 Election Results on Key Committees and Issues SENATE The major impact of the Democrats' capture of the Senate will be felt in the numerical shift in the majority/minority ratios of the committees. This will probably result in one more Democrat and one less Republican member on each panel, giving the Democrats a one-vote edge. Following is a run-down of how our key committees stand in the aftermath of the election: SSCI: All of the current members who were up for re-election won (Murkowski, Specter, Leahy and Hollings). The new Democratic majority will mean that Durenberger's vacancy won't be filled. The Democrats will have three spots to fill: one new seat together with those of Eagleton and (in June) Leahy. Since they are now slated to head other committees, Bentsen, Nunn and Hollings may opt to leave SSCI. STAT Appropriations (Defense Subcommittee): With the exception of Mark Andrews, all of the members who were up for re-election won (Garn, D'Amato, Rudman, Kasten, Inouye and Hollings). However, the new Chairman--Stennis--should be at least as supportive as Stevens. The Republicans won't get to fill the Andrews vacancy. Armed Services: Three current Republican members--Goldwater, Denton and Broyhill--won't be back. The Republicans will be able to fill two of the spots. With Goldwater's departure, Thurmond will now be ranking minority member. Of course, we shouldn't be hurt with Nunn as Chairman; moreover, we have worked closely with Arnold Punaro, who will be the new staff director. The two Democratic members who were up for re-election won (Dixon and Glenn). The Democrats will have two new spots---their new seat as well as that vacated by Hart.

HOUSE The House, of course, remains lopsidedly Democratic. Even though the Republicans held their losses to a minimum, the Democrats will retain at least as solid a majority in the membership of the committees as they enjoyed in the 99th Congress (e.g., the Democrats currently hold 10 out of 16 seats on the HPSCI and 25 out of 42 on Foreign Affairs). On the other hand, the ideological balance in the House appears to have shifted slightly to the more conservative side. NBC has classified 237 members of the new House as "conservative", up from 218 in the 99th Congress. STAT Very few members of any of our key committees were defeated. All HPSCI incumbents won comfortably; George Brown was a relatively tight race, but appears to have prevailed. No current member of the HAC/Defense Subcommittee appears to have lost, either. One of the relatively few Republican incumbent casualties is Bill Hendon (North Carolina), who as you recall lobbied you recently on the MIA issue. George Wortley (R-NY) is in a very close contest, but he apparently has survived. cc: EXDIR DDA DDI DDO DDS&T Comptroller Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/10/26: CIA-RDP90B01390R000100050006-8 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/10/26: CIA-RDP90B01390R000100050006-8 Select Committee on Intelligence Kmoffff MEMBERS David Durenberger.

However, the u. r% fact that it took several months afit r the Senate vote for the House of Representatives to agree to consider the Contra aid proposal demonstrates the lack of consensus in the Congress and in the country on aid to the Con- tra:. There are many strong and passion- ate views on both sides of this issue. Bu: in Central America neither side hao a monopoly on truth and there are no easy answers. The real truth is that we neglected Central America for too long. We did not care enough or pay enough attention to the problems theere. Now we and the people of Cen- tral America are paying a price for that past failure. If the United States is to have any success now in confronting the crisis in Central America the American people must see that administration policy is truly one of fostering genuine democracy as well as economic and social growth in the region. With regard to Nicaragua, we must acknowledge the truth about the San- dinista regime. The Sandinistas are Communist revolutionaries. They hi- jacked the Nicaraguan people's revolu- tion and betrayed their sacrifice. The Nicaraugan people fought, sacrificed, and died for democracy-not to have a right wing dictatorship replaced by a Communist one. In just 7 years of rule the Sandinis- tas have aided and abetted Communist revolutionaries in Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Ecuador, and prob- ably Colombia.
