SUBJECT: Intelligence Community Legislative Program
for 101st Congress, 1st Session.
1. Lieutenant General Perroots, Director, Defense Intelligence
Agency, has approved the following initiatives for inclusion
within the Intelligence Community Legislative program for the
101st Congress:
2. Foreign Language Proficiency Pay. This proposal would auth-
;orize the Secretary to provide language proficiency incentive pay
to DoD civilian employees, including DIA, the INF inspection
compliance agency, and the Military Services.
3. Death Gratuity for DIA Personnel Assigned to Defense Attache
Offices Abroad. This proposal would correct an anomaly in exist-
ing law by allowing surviving dependents of DAS personnel killed
while:-serving in embassies abroad to receive the DoD death gra-
tuity currently authorized for surviving dependents of uniformed
and civilian personnel killed while assigned to clandestine
Intelligence duties abroad.
4. DIA Overseas Personnel Benefits Comparability. This proposal
would give the Secretary discretionary authority to ensure that
DIA personnel serving overseas receive the same degree of support
received by State Department personnel serving under the same
conditions.
5. Defense Intelligence College Gift Acceptance Authority. This
proposal would authorize the Director of DIA to accept gifts to
be used by and for the D1C.
6. Coast Guard Inclusion within the GDIP. This proposal would
authorize dollars and billets to be appropriated within the
General Defense Intelligence Program for use by U.S. Coast Guard
intelligence.
7. DOD Nonofficial Cover Authority. This yet-to-be-defined
proposal will grow out of the recommendations of the DIA/CIA
nonofficial cover study currently being done at the request of
the SSCI. It responds to the need previously addressed by the
proprietaries legislative proposal. The "old" proprietaries
legislation will not be put forward this year. However, nonof-
ficial cover remains an agenda item and we will seek to retain an

issue wedge to advance any legislative fixes that spin off during
the coming year from the DIA/CIA nonofficial cover study.
8. Tax Exemption for Allowances Paid to Certain NSA and DIA
Employees. This proposal would amend the Internal Revenue Code
to exempt from taxation allowances paid to certain NSA and DiA
employees. Such allowances paid to Foreign Service and CIA
employees currently are tax exempt.
9. Exclusion of DIA and NSA Director and Deputy Director Billets
from Service Flag Rank Quotas. This proposal would exclude the
DIA and NSA Director and DIA Deputy Director billets from being
counted against the MI,Iitary Services' flag officer ceilings,
thereby encouraging Service competition for these positions.
10. Exclusion of NFIP military personnel from end-strength car.
This proposal would authorize NFIP personnel growth notwithstand-
ing current Service end-strength caps. Without this authority,
presently mandated NFIP growth would have to be taken out of
current Service end-strength. The proposal, in effect, would
Increase Service end-strength to allow for NFIP growth.
11. Extension of DIA 'and Military Department employee termina-
tion authority. This proposal would extend existing employee
termination authority, granted by the Intelligence Authorization
Act for FY '88, which will expire at the end of FY '89.
12. We have no comments on the legislative items attached to
your 26 August memorandum.
