State and Local participants who will be attending the two
days of hearings before Senator Jeremiah Denton's Senate
Judiciary Security and Terrorism Subcommittee on 13 and
14 September. The FBI is currently completing the clearance

3. In order to be fully prepared for the session, we
have set up a prebrief to be held on Monday 12 September at
11:00 a.m. in Room 6E 60 Headquarters. Office of General
Counsel will send a representative to brief on the parameters
of CIA's role domestically especially as it relates to the
subject matter of this hearing. Office of General Counsel
will provide CIA's witness with a one page talking points
paper should the issue be raised.
4. Subcommittee staff advises that FBI/CIA/NSA panel may
be testifying longer than most of the other witnesses simply
because the Senators consider the Federal link in the Olympic
Security chain to be particularly important. According to
the staff, the line of questioning may be as follows:
-What is CIA's specific role in the area
of Olympic Security?
-Are the normal collection criteria
sufficient to satisfy this special need?
-Is there a need to increase collection
coverage for the Olympics?
-What is the intelligence apparatus that
is (will be) set up to cover this issue
(describe)?
-Is there a mechanism established to get
the intelligence to the State and Local
authorities should that be necessary for
them to act on it?
-What problems might arise/recommendations
we might make to insure the best security
possible?
4. The CIA witness may wish to address some of these
issues in his opening statement. This office recommends that
the CIA witness deliver a brief opening statement touching on
these areas and leave specific details to be covered during
the question and answer session. While we do not have to
submit an opening statement, we should be prepared to make
one as a member of the panel.

o Staff will be present; in addition to
Messrs. Lisker and Milling, Mr. John
Podesta, Minority Chief Counsel, will
also be present;
o CIA witness should be a "working level"
individual who can speak authoritatively
on terrorism reporting. The witness
should be prepared to speak--at the
Secret level--as to the mechanism that
exists for reporting possible terrorist
attempts to the FBI and explain the
Executive Order limitations that restrict
Agency action within the U.S.;
o it will not be necessary for the CIA
witness to submit a written statement;
o Subcommittee staff will make efforts to
group all Administration witnesses (FBI,
NSA, CIA, DOD, Secret Service) on'the
same day and possibly as a panel; and,
o Efforts are being made by the Sub-
committee staff to,identify clearances of
those outside the Administration who may
be present during the testimony,. viz.,
other witnesses. Staff was informed that
access will clearly be dictated by
verified security clearances.
3. It was clear from Mr. Lisker's statements that the
purposes-for the hearing are as follows:
o To provide a forum whereby all the
players having a role in Olympic Security
might gather to express what they foresee
to be potential problem areas in coor-
dinating the best possible security for
the Olympic games;
o To provide the Subcommittee Chairman
with a forum whereby he might press-for
legislation to get the Federal author-
ities, particularly the FBI, more
involved in such matters; and,

o To allow the Subcommittee to.act as a
catalyst for further coordinated action.
4. Follow-up Action Items:
participation as Agency representatives
a. DDO/PCS: Please firm up
b. OGC: We will need a brief statement
for the CIA witness to have on hand--concerning
the parameters of CIA's role domestically--es
pecially with regard to the subject matter of.
the hearing.
5. As 'to the question of Member participation at the
hearing, Mr. Lisker noted that in addition to Senator Denton
(R., AL), Senator Metzenbaum (D., OH) (because of the PLO
aspect) would surely be present. He did not think Senator
Leahy (D., VT) would attend

Security and Terrorism Subcommittee will begin at 10:00 a.m.
and last until 4:00 p.m. It will begin promptly at 10:00
a.m.-with a fifteen minute overview to be provided by a
representative from the Los . Angeles Police Department.
Following the introduction, the White House representative
will testify and thereafter seriatim the other witnesses
listed in reference c.
2. Senator Denton has specifically requested that all
witnesses plan to be present for the entire session both
days. This, according to staffer Bert Milling, will provide
for the desired interaction of federal and local authorities,
who, perforce, may have to work together throughout the time
prior to the opening of the Olympics in 1984. Accordingly,
the CIA witness or his representatives should block out the
appropriate time. Additionally, Senator Denton intends to
have a wrap-up session at the end of the second day for
witnesses who have already testified to add whatever they
thirik may be appropriate, having had the benefit of hearing
other witnesses'. testimony during the two-day session.
3. Pending Bureau clearance, the following individuals
outside the Executive Branch will be in attendance throughout
the hearings:
