Thank you for your interest in the Intelligence Community as
expressed in the Committee's book "Policy Alternatives: Ideas for
Tomorrow, Choices for Today."
Due in large measure to the efforts of the Administration and the
Congress, the past few years have been a period of restoration for the
Community, both in capabilities and spirit.
Because of this support, the Community has made advances on many of
the issues espoused in your report. For example, we continue to enhance
the capabilities of our technical means of acquiring information and have
plans for significant capabilities for the future. Efforts to improve
our access through human sources are equally vigorous. I can also assure
you that gains continue to be made in the coordination of intelligence
community activities.
We appreciate.the opportunity to comment on the book. If you need
further assistance, please feel free to call.

Dear Mr. Casey:
In early January the House Republican Research Committee released a
a book of policy alternatives entitled "Ideas for Tomorrow, Choices for Today."
Many of the book's ideas require legislative action, and the Committee is
tracking their progress through the 99th Congress. In addition, a number of
the proposals entail administrative action. Please review the enclosed
sections, which bear on your agency's work. I would be most grateful if you
could tell me of any recent action embodying proposals listed in these pages.
I shall look forward to hearing from you. If the Research Committee can
be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
