SUBJECT; FBI Proposal for Inclusion in the
Intelligence Authorization Bill
1. On 18 January. 1980 Chris Mazzella of the FBI's
legislative affairs office visited Agency Headquarters to
discuss the attached legislative proposal related to
moving expense benefits. Mazzella said that the Bureau wa:~
attempting to convince the Justice Department to ask th`.-
Office of Management and F3izdget to' include the proposal in
both the Justice Department Authorization Bill and the
Intelligence Authorization Bi11.
2. Without commenting on the merits of the proposal, I
noted that its broad applir.ability (it would apply to any
employee of the Department. of Justice, i.e., to all FBI
agents) seemed to make it unsuitable for the Intelligence
Authorization Bill. I told Mazzella that I thought bate the
SSCI and HPSCI would probably consider the proposal to be
beyond their jurisdiction. I noted that SSCI and HPSCI
reluctance to become involved might be lessened if the
proposal were worded so as to apply only to members of the
FBI's Intelligence Division. I also noted, however, that
inclusion of the proposal by the SSCI and HPSCI could
conceivably lead to a Judiciary Committee claim of juri~tiictiar
over the Intelligence Authorization Bill, which we-would no~:
want to see.
3. In any event, I told: Mazzella that I would take a
lao.k at the substance of tYie proposal in order to see ho,~ it
compared with Agency benefits. Your comments on that po!nt STATINTL
would be most appreciated.
