1. Title V (FBI)
a. Concur with Issue 1 on Section 508(a).
b. In Section 508(b)(1), it might be more effective to place
the requirement for notification of the Secretary of State on the FBI
rather than the foreign requester. In Section 508(c), deleting "as
appropriate" from the proposed language in Issue 2 would ensure that
the DNI is kept fully informed.
2. Title VI (NSA)

b. Section 613(a)(19) should replace "secret writing systems"
with clandestine cryptographic systems and techniques of the CIA."
c. The DNI, as well as the Secretary of Defense, should be
authorized to make certain funds available to NSA under the provisions
of Section 625(b). The DNI should be notified of all funds made available
to NSA by the Secretary of Defense in this manner.
d. The authority of the Director of NSA in Section 632 to grant
access to SIGINT or COMSEC information should be in accordance with the
DNI's guidance per Section 114(1). After "authorize" in the first line cf
Section 632 add: "in accordance with the security standards established
by the DNI." This phrase should also be added to the end of the section
after "(50 USC 831-835)."
e. After "the Director shall" in the third and tenth lines of
Section 662(a), add "in coordination with the DNI." Otherwise, this sel:tion
should remain unchanged as CIA's SIGINT and COMSEC activities are Sufficiently
provided for in the amended Section 662(d).
f. The recommendation concerning termination of NSA employees
in Issue 6 should be added as a new Section 613(a)(26) rather than
Section 662(a) as cited.
