SUBJECT: Helping the SSCI
This note presents you an Qpportunity. Attached
is a copy of a letter sent co ACDA Director
Adelman, requesting that he 4ttend a hearing on

In my view, the issue is first~whether you want

The second issue is who gets the 'honor. I think
you should do it because you are oVr only Senate
confirmed officer. But if you cant, or won't

What more may we do for you here?

SELECT COMMITTEE ON WTELLGiNCE

Mr. Kenneth Adelman
Director
U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency

Dear Mr. Adelman:

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is planning
to oversee the Intelligence Community's support for U.S.
nuclear arms reduction policy during the current Congress.
Its first hearing will focus on the Administration's
requirements for monitoring Soviet-compliance with proposed
nuclear arms reduction agreements. We have scheduled it at
10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 7, in the Committee Hearing
Room,.SH-219.
We accordingly request your participation in this
hearing as the Administration's leading official responsible
for arms control and disarmament. We would particularly like
you to present and discuss the Administration's position on
issues that are most pertinent to the SSCI's ongoing review
of national intelligence programs and budget requests,
including:
? Will proposed intelligence programs suffice to
monitor the major cuts in strategic and inter-
mediate ballistic missile forces proposed by
the U.S.?
? What are the most critical gaps in projected
U.S. monitoring capabilities?
? What specific recommendations has the Arms
Control and Disarmament Agency made to close
these gaps?
? How would these recommendations reduce the
risk that the Soviets could gain significant
strategic advantages over U.S. and Allied
forces?
