MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Acting Director of Congressional Affairs
SUBJECT: Weekly Report
1. Anti-Drug Legislation: Both the House Democratic
leadership and the Administration continue to work on their
respective versions of comprehensive anti-drug legislation.
The House is expected to have a product ready within the next
two weeks; the Administration is not. The House effort stems
from the direction given by the leadership to all committee
chairmen to produce anti-drug legislation within their
jurisdictions and submit it for leadership review by
mid-August. HPSCI did not submit anything; other responses
were mixed. The leadership is now working behind closed
doors to assemble an omnibus package to be brought to the
floor on September 10 for what is likely to be an up or down
vote. The Administration position is being coordinated by
the White House Drug Abuse Policy office. It hopes to
complete action on its package in time to offer it as an
alternative to the House effort but this does not appear
likely at present. The Senate is not as far along as the
House, although several Democratic Senators have co-sponsored
a "drug czar" bill. We will continue to monitor the
situation with a view towards protecting traditional Agency
concerns in this area: opposition to "drug czar" legislation
or other major governmental organizational changes;
unnecessary dissemination of intelligence information;
significant changes in funding patterns; and/or personnel
proposals adversely impacting on Agency personnel.
2. Senate Governmental Affairs Committee and Defectors:
Several months ago we heard rumors that the Senate
Governmental Affairs Committee would be looking into the
subject of defectors. It now appears these rumors are true.
With the approval of Roth and Nunn, Chairman and Ranking
Minority member, respectively, of Governmental Affairs'
Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), SSCI and PSI
have reached a jurisdictional agreement whereby PSI would
look into the subject of defectors.

We are told that the focus of the PSI effort is not
intelligence defectors per se nor the Agency's involvement
with defectors. Instead, it is "billed" as a broader look at
the non-intelligence, ideological defector from the Bloc:
how is he treated by the USG and is the USG taking complete,
overt advantage of his defection. PSI staff state that they
plan hearings on the subject perhaps as early as next month,
and that the Agency may be invited to testify. The Jamestown
Foundation is cooperating with the PSI, although at this
stage it's not clear which is setting the agenda. Through
our continuing contact with PSI, we are monitoring the
situation and attempting to keep the Agency's profile as low
as possible.
