1}.. LEGISLATION Spoke with Boh C:arlstrczi+,
OMI3, with regarc to tile , u;, ice . Department proposed testirrlony on U. R. f171'
the "Federal Accounting and Auditing Act of 1978. " I. indicated to Mr. Car :stron-i
that we had two problems with the testimony: first, CIA. does not intend ft
present its views to Subcoinmitttee, contrary to the Justice I)cpattrtzent
statement to that effect on page 5 of the proposed testimony; secondly, tl;t
Justice Department approach, linking the audit issue to the approach talc( 1. in
the charter legislation, in our opinion, could prematurely lock the Adtnir i:1: rai ion
position. Mr. Caristrorn agreed to have Justice delete the offending sent ( ice
on page S. With regard to the charter issue it was agreed that a sen?-ence: should
be inserted in the testimony to indicate that with regard to the charter le;:'slation
any views expressed in the testimony should be construed as those of the Jttst:ice
Department alone; adding that the charter legislation is currently un,ter
review within the dni nistration.
.12. LEGISLATION Called
