DC 20510 September 18, 1986 fmcat;re Reg'-,}r/ $6- 4267x/2 Dr. Robert Gates Deputy Director of Central Intelligence Central Intelligence Agency Washington, D.C. 20505 As you are aware, we held a meeting on August 13 with Executive branch legal counsels concerning Congressional notification and reporting requirements related to potential counter-terrorist operations. We were pleased by the willingness of Administration officials to discuss the difficult issues in this area on an informal basis. In view of our belief that confidence between the Legislative and Executive branches of government can best be reached in this area through informal consultations, we ask that you and a staff assistant participate in another informal session on this subject with members of the Committee. We have scheduled this session for October 1, 1986, at 4:00 p.m. in room SH-219 of the Hart Senate Office Building. Another opportunity to discuss these matters prior to the Fall recess would leave us in good position to keep abreast of activities through the remainder of the year as well as provide a foundation for further consideration of counter-terrorist issues during the next Congress. We understand that interagency coordination is currently underway on finalizing written responses to issues raised in a staff memorandum we circulated at the previous meeting, and have asked Judge Sofaer's office to provide the written materials to us by close of business Thursday, September 25.
