I VIORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Section lU(a)(2) - Public Law 110
1. The meaning of Section 10(a)(2) of Public Iaw 11U was dis-
cussed today with two General Accounting Office attorneys, Itr. Wil-
liam L. Idorrow, Associate General Counsel, and Lr. Carl P. Friend,
Office of the General Counsel.
2. Mr. Morrow, who specializes in the handling of appropriation
matters, said very frankly that he did not know the meaning of this
section. It was his impression, however, that it would be a rather
strained construction to hold that CIA could do something another
Agency had been specifically authorized to do, simply because of the
language contained in Section 10(a)(2). M . Friend agreed.
3. Both attorneys agreed, however, that the broad powers enu-
merated in Section 10 (as a whole) would be sufficient to authorize
a wide and varied group of expenditures. ;specifically, they indi-
cated Section lU should be an adequate basis to support expenditures
14.. They expressed the belief, however, that the Director of
Central Intelligence should predicate any such decision on the necess-
ity to carry out Agency functions, and couple it with the "not with-
standing any other provisions cf law" language of Section 1C(a).
