SUBJECT: House Passage of Fiscal Year 1989 Intelligence
Authorization Bill
On 26 May 1988, the House of Representatives passed and sent
to the Senate H.R. 4387, the Fiscal Year 1989 Intelligence
Authorization bill. Attached for your information is a copy of
the floor debate on the bill (Congressional Record, 26 May 1988,
pp. H3652-89). Also attached is a chart depicting the status of
the bill as a result of the floor action.
The following are some of the highlights of the House debate:
? Panetta Suspends Action On GAO Oversight Bill.
You will note the colloquy on pp. H3656-57 between
Representatives Stokes, Chairman of the House
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI)
and Representative Panetta, sponsor of H.R. 3603,
a bill providing for access to Agency records by the
General Accounting Office (GAO). They agree, for the
record, that Panetta will not push his bill at this time,
given the work of HPSCI on H.R. 3822, (its version of the
new oversight bill) and the expected increase in the HPSCI
staff's auditing capabilities.
? Swindall Amendment Withdrawn. On pp. H3657-62 you will
note that Representative Swindall speaks on behalf of his
amendment which would have tightened restrictions on the
diplomatic personnel travel and mission sitings of Bloc,
terrorist and other hostile countries. Although he
withdrew the amendment "because of a conflict with the
Parlimentarian," he promises to add it to next year's
Department of State authorization bill.
? "Drug-Free Workplace" Amendment Not Offered. The so-
called "Drug-Free Workplace" amendment of Representative
Walker, which it had appeared would be offered to the
bill during floor consideration, was not put forward.

? EEO Report Provision & Former Spouses Technical
Amendments. Both were adopted - pp. H3663-65.
? Surprise Effort To Aid Contras Defeated. Otherwise
routine consideration of the bill was interrupted when
Representative Hyde offered a surprise floor amendment
to strike (effective 1 October 1988) the restrictions that
now exist on the use of the Reserve for Contingencies to
assist the Contras. The House, after a lengthy debate,
rejected the amendment by a surprisingly close vote of
214-190 (pp. H3665-86). You will note Representative
Cheney's vigorous denial of charges made by Representative
Frank that Agency employees were convicted of crimes in
the Iran/Contra affair (pp. H3673-74).
? Miscellaneous Amendments. The House then adopted several
miscellaneous amendments. These included an amendment to
conform the provision in the bill creating an Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence to a similar
provision in the DoD FY-89 authorization bill (p. H3687),
and an amendment placing caps on the amount of allowances
paid to personnel eligible under the FBI's New York City
Field Office demonstration project (p. H3688).
? POW/MIA Live Sighting Reports. Also adopted was an
amendment previously cleared with the Defense Intelligence
Agency providing for the release of certain POW/MIA live
sighting reports (p. H3687).
The Senate is not expected to take up the House-passed bill
and its Senate counterpart, S. 2366, until mid-June. Please let
this office know if you have an ues i n c mm n
