Dear Judge Webster:
IN RESPONSE
REFER TO: 88-3323
September 19, 190 to
As you are aware, the Soviet Union and the United States are
engaged in negotiations to estaolish new verification protocols to
the Threshold Test Ban Treaty (TTBT) and the Peaceful Nuclear
Explosions Treaty (PNET). The administration hopes to complete
these negotiations by the end of its term and to ask the Senate
for its advice and consent to ratification of the Treaties.
While the intelligence community has produced several studies
over the years on the monitoring of nuclear explosions, the
Committee understands that there exists no formal intelligence
community document, approved by the National Foreign Intelligence
Board (NFIB), that describes U.S. monitoring capabilities and
presents the coordinated monitoring judgments of the various
intelligence agencies. Our experience in the Senate's'review of
the INF Treaty amply demonstrated how important such a document
can be in promoting understanding of those monitoring capabilities
and their relationship to treaty and protocol provisions.
We therefore request that such a document, approved by the
NFIB and based on all-source information, including cooperative
measures agreed to in the new TTBT and PNET protocols, be
undertaken and submitted to this Committee upon completion of
nariaccifipn in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/07/22 : CIA-RDP90M00551R001600870050-4

the new protocols or shortly thereafter. Such a document will
make a significant contribution to informed discussion prior to a
Senate decision on ratification of the Treaties.
As always, we remain
cerely,
