MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Dave Gries
SUBJECT: Weekly Report
Covert Action Notification' Procedures: Negotiations
regarding proposed revisions to the SSCI Covert Action
Procedures were held with the Chief and Minority Counsel to
the SSCI, representatives from this office and Ken
deGraffenreid. The negotiation session was very productive
and all the controversial items were resolved, with only
minor changes. The SSCI staff will now present the agreement
to their members. We hope to have a final version ready for
your signature soon. The staff informs us that reaching
agreement on this issue will improve the atmosphere with
respect to negotiations on Reserve release restrictions.
Resolution of Inquiry: Congressman Panetta has filed a
Resolution of Inquiry in the House regarding the possible
diversion of humanitarian assistance funds to provide lethal
aid to the Contras. HPSCI staff had previously examined all
the relevant DO reporting, but refused to brief Panetta,
despite the staff's belief that there is nothing
incriminating in the documents. We then took the documents
to Panetta to review, but they appeared to confuse him. We
will take Alan Fiers to see Panetta next Tuesday to explain
the meaning of the documents in greater detail. Panetta, of
course, is looking for a political issue.
Invitation from Senate Armed Services: Barry Goldwater
will be writing to you to seek a briefing on Soviet SDI
capabilities for the Committee's Strategic Defense Initiative
Advisory Panel. The panel consists of Harold Brown, Zbignew
Brzezinski, Bobby Inman, Hans Mark, Mike May, William Perry,
James Schlesinger, Brent Scowcroft and Edward Teller. Larry
Gershwin is preparing to give the briefing.
OCA Now Playing with Full Deck: formerly
