(Senate)
S. 1243 - Intelligence Authorization Act,
Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989
(Sen. Boren (D) Oklahoma)
The Administration supports Senate passage of S. 1243 but will
seek to change the bill in conference to:
-- delete section 402 which authorizes the Director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to defray the living
expenses of FBI employees assigned to the New York Field
Division because it would be extremely costly and set a
precedent for other agencies and other locations.
-- delete section 506 which allows the Secretary of Defense to
offer free advanced training in critical skills because
general programs of student aid are the appropriate
mechanism for student assistance.
-- delete section 401 which requires the Attorney General to
report annually to the Intelligence Committees any cases

unnecessary reporting requirement.
In addition, the Administration will seek in conference to
restore certain program reductions to conform to the
Administration's request.
