The Honorable William J. Casey
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, DC 20505
Last week Senator Roth offered an amendment to the Defense
Authorization Bill amending the Foreign Missions Act. (A copy is
enclosed.) This amendment would require the Secretary of State
to impose on the personnel of communist embassies in the
United States the same restriction that applies to personnel of
the Soviet Embassy here. I believe that such a measure, if
enacted, could have adverse consequences for U.S. intelligence.
Such arguments were inappropriate for the floor of the
Senate. Therefore, the Armed Services Committee accepted the
amendment, but also agreed to name Senator Pell and me as
conferees on this issue. As we prepare for the Conference, it
would be helpful to have your views before the end of August. I
have also written to George Shultz asking for his opinion on how
this amendment affects foreign policy.
Sincerely,
Richard G. Lugar
Chairman
