Following action by the Intelligence Committee, the bill will be considered by the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC). The minority staff indicated that Chairman Dante Fascell remains upset that no HFAC Members were selected to fill recent vacancies on the Intelligence Committee. Accordingly, the staff speculates that Fascell may show his displeasure with Chairman Stokes by not moving quickly on the Oversight bill. As Senator Kerry continues his hearings on international narcotics trafficking, Senator Nunn's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has begun a similar inquiry, focusing on the involvement of foreign leaders. In addition, Senator Chiles reportedly will be pressing for additional legislation related to narcotics between now and the election.

The Agency is taking the same stance it took during the Iran/Contra hearings - i.e., that we will not respond piecemeal to allegations against us. The Public Affairs Office (PAO) is stating, however, that CIA has consistently denied any involvement in drug smuggling. PAO arranged unclassified background briefings for Cord Meyer (syndicated columnist and former DO official) and Fred Kempe (Wall Street Journal) on Afghanistan and for Robert Toth (Los Angeles Times) on the Soviet leadership and the nationalities problem.

We are still working with the Committee staff to iron out our last few problems with the language of the bill (apart from the "48-hour" provisions). Following action by the Intelligence Committee, the bill will be considered by the Foreign Affairs Committee. The minority staff has indicated that the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Dante Fascell, remains upset that no Foreign Affairs Committee Members were selected to fill the recent vacancies on the Intelligence Committee. However, when the Foreign Affairs Committee does act, it is certain that a majority will support the bill. New Membership on House Intelligence Committee: The staff of the House Intelligence Committee informs us that Dan Lungren, a Minority Member of the Committee, still intends to resign from the Congress even though he did not get appointed to the position he was seeking with the state government in California. Representative William Dickinson (R-AL), the Ranking Minority Member on the Armed Services Committee, has expressed strong interest in filling the next vacancy. In the past, he has shown himself to be inquisitive and aggressive on intelligence matters. 25X1 25X1 25X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/08: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100030012-7 25X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/08: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100030012-7 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/08: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100030012-7 25 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/08 : CIA-RDP90G01353R002100030012-7 25X1 25X1 WEEKLY REPORT FOR THE DCI OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER WEEK ENDING 8 APRIL 1988 1989 The Congressional Budget Justification Book detailing the Agency's 1989 program was delivered on 1 April to the staffs of the appropriate congressional committees.
