President Carter-has promise4;to
make public this year the total fi;guie_ j
for an "intelligence" budget that?iill 1
run from S7 billion to S8 billion..:...
But you could spend the entire
year sifting through the fine print of
budget documents without finding o?t
how he reaches that figure... . .-
That is because this year, as in
years past, spending figures for vari-
ous elements of the nation's farflung
intelligence operations will be hidden
away under other names in budge-
tary nooks and crannies of other
proograms.
While Carter has said he. would
make ppblic an overall figure and his
director of intelligence. Adm..Stans-
field Turner, has agreed, the admin,
istration remains opposed to break-
ing down the total into any further
:detail.. J.
