Specter's speech was not taped. Transcript will be
available early in the week; we'll get it to you.
Specter stated that he will not add statutory Inspector
General provisions to the Boren/Cohen bill because he didn't
want to "muddy the waters" for the vote on the bill. He cited
Cohen's advice on this point. Specter will continue to push
for the statutory Inspector General.
Specter will also continue to push for mandatory jail
sentences for misleading Congress even though he has received
many comments against this provision. Specter stated that the
provision already has a salutary effect on those who would
consider misleading Congress.
Specter noted that the Iran/Contra Committee had found that
Administration officials had given misleading testimony. He
made a reference to the testimony of the Deputy Director of CIA
that CIA officers sought to avoid hearing Iran-Contra details.
Specter also stated that he will pursue his proposal to
separate the function of the DCI from the D/CIA, but would not
offer this provision as an amendment to the bill.
In closing, Specter engaged Boren in a brief exchange
designed to highlight the fact that the new bill would not
relieve the Agency of its existing obligation to report
"anticipated significant intelligence activities.

NOTE FOR: General Counsel
Chief, Information Management Staff/DO
Director, Office of Congressional
Affairs
I have asked Bill Donnelly to assume my role
as Chairman of the SRG, bringing you together from
time to time to track our relationship with the
Office of Indpendent Counsel investigative
effort. I would like to take this opportunity to
thank each one of you personally for your
cooperation and thoughtful support over the past
14 months. While none of us enjoyed doing this
task, I think we can be proud of the manner in
which we handled the issues and built a spirit of
teamwork which helped us get the job done. I know
that you will give the same support to Bill as
long as it is required.
