This memorandum initiates the process of formulating the Intelligence Community Legislative Program for the First Session of the One Hundredth Congress (i.e., this year's program) by soliciting your comments on items to be included therein. The Program, when finally prepared, will be submitted to the office of Management and Budget (OMB) by the Director of Central Intelligence. 2. 0MB requires the head of every Federal agency to submit each Fall for Administration clearance a proposed legislative program for the session of Congress which begins the following January. This program is submitted to OMB along with an agency's proposed budget for the next fiscal year. 3. The Gramm-Rudman-Hollings budget law amendments moved up various budgetary milestones. As a result, OMB is calling for receipt of this year's program by September 1st, instead of November 15th as in previous years. Accordingly, we are using a somewhat different process to formulate this year's program. Attached is a copy of a draft program. It includes some new items. It also includes, in the event no positive action occurs this Congress, those items from last year's program and/or the intelligence authorization bills currently before Congress (H.R. 4759 and S. 2477) in which there appears to be a continuing interest. We ask for your comments on these items as well as your suggestions for new proposals. 4. With respect to new proposals, it is not necessary to submit specific statutory language, or to specify a statute to be amended. A description of each problem or goal, accompanied by an explanation of why it is thought that legislation is necessary to solve or achieve it, is sufficient. All suggestions should also be accompanied by your component's views as to whether or not the proposal has Intelligence Community applicability. We ask for your comments by July 11, 1986. 5. A memorandum similar to this one is being sent to appropriate offices throughout the Intelligence Community.
