SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS
TITLE I-INTELLIGENCE AND INTELLIGENCE-RELATED ACTIVITIES
Section 101 lists the departments and agencies for whose intelli-
gence and intelligence-related activities the bill authorizes appro-
priations for fiscal year 1986.
Section 102 makes clear that, with the exception of sections 103
and 105, details of the committee's recommendations with respect
to the amounts authorized to be appropriated for intelligence and
intelligence-related activities and personnel ceilings covered under
this title for fiscal year 1986 are contained in a classified schedule
of authorizations to the bill and the classified annex to this report.
The schedule of authorizations is incorporated into H.R. 2419 by
this section.
Section 103 authorizes appropriations of $15,200,000 for the coun-
terterrorism program of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Section 104 permits the Director of Central Intelligence to au-
thorize the personnel strength of any intelligence element to
exceed the fiscal year 1986 authorized personnel levels by no more
than 2 percent if he determines that doing so is necessary for the
performance of important intelligence functions. The Director must
notify the two intelligence committees promptly of any exercise of
authority under the section.
It is to be emphasized that the authority conveyed, by this section
is not intended to permit the wholesale raisin of
strength in each or any intelligence com g personnel
provides the Director of Central Intelligencenwithaflexibilit to ad
just personnel end strength temporarily for contingencies and for
overages caused by an inbalance between hiring of new employees
and attrition of current emloyees for retirement, resignation, etc.
The committee does not expect the Director of Central Intelligence
to allow heads of intelligence components to plan to exceed person-
nel levels set in the schedule of authorizations except for the satis-
faction of clearly identified hiring needs which are consistent with
the authorization of personnel strengths in this bill. In no case is
this authority to be used to provide for positions denied by this bill.
As introduced,' Ofttion 106 'would have prohibited any funds
available to any agency involved in intelligence activities being
used to sup support, directly or indirectly, military or paramilitary op-
erations The section also had the effect of denying
any funds requested for such a purpose in fiscal year 1986. It would

extend the current statutory prohibition for support to the Nicara-
guan "contras" through the end of FY 1986.
An amendment was adopted by the committee to strike the origi-
nal language of Section 105 so as to make clear that the prohibi-
tion that applies to supporting Nicaraguan insurgents or "contras"
applies only to the provision of funds, goods, equipment, civilian or
military supplies, or any other materiel, but does not include the
provision of intelligence information or advice to the contras.
TITLE II-INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY STAFF (ICS)
Section 201 authorizes the appropriation of $21,900,000 for the
Intelligence Community Staff [ICS], which provides the Director of
Central Intelligence [DCI] with staff assistance to carry out his in-
telligence community responsibilities. The Staff supports the DCI
in the execution of his responsibilities to develop, review, and ap-
prove the National Foreign Intelligence Program budget, to evalu-
ate the performance of foreign intelligence activities, and to devel-
op issues, goals, and other required guidance for the intelligence
community.
Sections 202 and 203 provide certain administrative authorities
for the Intelligence Community Staff. Section 202(a) authorizes 233
full-time personnel for the staff as of September 30, 1986. The In-
telligence Community Staff is composed of a permanent cadre, de-
tailed community personnel, and contract hirees.
The Intelligence Community Staff is now made up of personnel
who are permanent employees of the Staff and other who are de-
tailed for several years from various intelligence elements. The
purpose of section 202(b) is to authorize this staff approach and to
require that detailed employees represent all appropriate elements
of the Government, including those engaged in intelligence-related
activities.
Section 202(c) requires that personnel be detailed on a reimbursa-
ble basis except for temporary situations. The Staff's authorized
size, in the opinion of the committee, is sufficient for the duties
which the Staff performs. This provision is intended to insure that
its ranks are not swelled by detailees, the personnel costs for whom
are not reimbursed to their parent agency.
Section 203 provides the Director of Central Intelligence with au-
thority to manage the activities and to pay the personnel of the In-
telligence Community Staff because the Staff is not otherwise au-
thorized by law. However, it is the committee's intent that in the
case of detailed personnel, the DCI's authority to discharge person-
nel shall only extend to discharging detailed personnel from service
at the Intelligence Community Staff and not from Federal em-
ployent or militarty service.
TITLE III-CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY RETIREMENT AND
DISABILITY SYSTEM
Section 301 authorizes appropriations for the Central Intelligence
Agency Retirement and Disability System (CIARDS) in the amount
of $101,400,000 for fiscal year 1986. The Central Intelligence
Agency Retirement Act of 1964 for Certain Employees (Public law
88-643) authorized the establishment of CIARDS for a limited

number would be essential. But such
an explanation would be excessively
revealing. Moreover, the committee
recognizes that intelligence is inher-
ently secret, and any disclosure is the
beginning of an erosive process. In
some cases, the mere awareness of an
intelligence activity can easily reduce
or eliminate Its effectiveness, may en-
danger lives, and may lead to the col-
lection of false information contrived
by our adversaries to confuse or mis-
lead us.
Madam Chairman, I would like to
summarize briefly the organization of
this bill.
Title I provides for the bulk of our
intelligence and intelligence-related
activities. As I said earlier, funds and
program details are in the classified
schedule of authorizations and the
annex to the report. One exception is
the authorization for the Domestic
Counterterrorism Program of the FBI,
which Is unclassified. The bill provides
$15.2 million for this function.
Title II provides necessary authori-
ties for the Intelligence community
staff, whose function is to assist the
Director of Central Intelligence with
his responsibilities for overall coordi-
nation of intelligence and preparation
of the budget. The staff is made up of
representatives of all -elements of the
intelligence community. Administra-
tively, it is treated as though it were
part of the CIA. The bill provides
$21.9 million for this purpose. An
amendment will be offered reducing
this amount to $21 million.
Title III provides authorization of
$101.4 million for the Central Intelli-
gence Agency Retirement and Disabil-
ity System. This Is a program estab-
lished by Congress in 1964 to provide
for those CIA personnel who perform
hazardous duties or are in special situ-
ations. usually abroad, which may
limit the length of their careers. The
bill incorrectly states that the amount
authorized Is for fiscal year 1985. A
technical amendment will correct this
to read fiscal year 1986.
As Chairman HAMILTON has stated,
title IV provides in section 401 that
the Congress must be notified before
intelligence funds are obligated or ex-
pended for a purpose other than that
originally authorized. Section 401 also
requires notification if defense activi-
ties or services exceeding $1 million in
value are to be transferred in conjunc-
tion with an intelligence activity. Sec-
tion 402 requires a report from the Di-
rector of Central Intelligence of the
vulnerability of our confidential activi-
ties abroad.
Title V provides that this bill does
not authorize intelligence activities
not otherwise authorized by the laws
and Constitution of the United States.
It also provides authorization for ap-
propriations to pay for Increased pay
or benefits to Federal employees if
they are enacted in other legislation.
Madam Chairman, as in the last
fiscal year, this bill authorizes less
than the administration requested.
Some specific proposals have been rec-
ommended for deferral, others for ter-
mination, while a few have been in-
creased. I believe that the authoriza-
tion provided is adequate to meet the
country's needs.
Madam Chairman let me close by
stating that, as In year's past, the com-
mittee has made, and continues to
make, the classified annex to It's
report available to all Members of the
House during business hours in the
committee's rooms. I would invite
Members who have not yet had an op-
portunity to do so to read this annex.
01130
Mr. STUMP. Madam Chairman, I
yield myself such time as I may con-
sume.
(Mr. STUMP asked and was given
permission to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. STUMP. Madam Chairman, I
rise in support of H.R. 2419, the Intel-
ligence Authorization Act, with the
committee amendments printed in the
bill and the committee freeze-type
amendment printed In the CONGRxs-
sloNAL Rscoan of Tuesday. July 16.
The funding authorizations con-
tained in this bill for intelligence and
intelligence-related activities ensure
that U.S. policymakers will continue
to have the capability to collect
needed intelligence on foreign powers,
to detect and counter hostile activities
by foreign powers. and to influence
world events.
Because the effectiveness of intelli-
gence programs depends in part upon
their secrecy. the details of intelli-
gence programs and the associated
funding levels must remain concealed.
Consequently, I will not discuss the
details of the committee's recommen-
dations. Those details are in the classi-
fied schedule of authorizations and
classified' annex to the committee's
report, which have been available for
since June 3, 1986.
I believe that H.R. 2419 represen

Mr. CHENEY. I thank the gentle-
man for yielding.
Madam Chairman, I rise in support
of H.R. 2419. This has been my 1st
year to serve on the Intelligence Com-
mittee, and I must say I found it a fas-
cinating experience In part because of
the spirit of bipartisanship that was
mentioned previously by the chair-
man.
It has been a privilege to serve with
the gentleman from Arizona [Mr.
Scum'], the ranking Republican, and
the gentleman from Indiana [Mr.
HAHILTox]. the chairman o2 the full
committee, and the gentleman from
Ohio [Mr. SToxas]. who chaired the
Budget Subcommittee.
I think it is extremely important for
the House and for the committee to
seek bipartisan efforts and conclusions
with respect to the intelligence pro-
gram and I was indeed pleased that we
were able to achieve that this year.

Mr. STUMP. Madam Chairman, I
yield such time as he may consume to
the gentleman from Illinois [Mr.
HYDE].
(Mr. HYDE asked and was given per-
mission to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. HYDE. I wonder if I might ask
the chairman, the gentleman from In-
diana [Mr. HAMILTON], one question.
First of all. I want to identify with ev-
erything that the gentleman from Ari-
zona [Mr. Sruwi ] has said and what
the gentleman from Wyoming (Mr.
CIIENXY] has said, complimenting the
committee on its excellent leadership
and the effort to attain bipartisan con-
sensus, which most often we do.
With reference to section 105, is it
the gentleman's understanding that
that section does not conflict in any
way with the McCurdy-Michel-
McDade amendment which we adopt-
ed in this Chamber on previous legisla-
tion?
Mr. HAMILTON. Yes. basically that
is my understanding., that there Is no
conflict.
But let me respond in more detail.
The Michel amendment appropriates
$27 million in 2 fiscal years

the use of the State Department in
distributing aid to the Contras. Sec-
tion 105 does prohibit the State De-
partment from being the agency for
that purpose.
Other than that, there is no conflict
or difference between the two provi-
sions, and I think that difference is a

July 18, 1985 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE
lions were fair and have not done seri-
ous harm to any important intelli-
gence programs, or to the national se-
curity interests of the United States.
The committee's reductions and the
reasons for them are fully explained
in the classified annex to the commit-
tee's report. That classified annex is
available In the offices of the commit-
tee for review by any Member of the
House.
In structuring the amendment
before us, the committee wished to es-
tablish the principle that spending for
intelligence programs should be frozen
at the fiscal year 1985 appropriation
level, or the authorization level for
fiscal year 1986 for the departments or
agencies within whose budgets intelli-
gence funds are located.
Ninety-eight percent of the moneys
authorized by this intelligence bill are
ponta,ined within the Department of
Defense authorization. Nearly all of
them are hidden to various authoriza-
tion categories for security purposes.
They are, in effect, subelements of the
Defense budget, even though they are
separately authorized by the intelli-
gence bill and reviewed by the Intedii-
gence Committee.
Therefore, these Intelligence pro-
grams were among those which were
affected by the Aspin freeze amend-
ment adopted by the House to the De-
fense authorisation bill Now, somne tn-
telligence programs-like some De-
fense programs within those large au-
thorization categories-will experience
real growth In fiscal year 1986. An ex-
ample would be the stratesk defrme
initiative which. despite significant
cuts by both House and Senate, still
exceeds the fiscal year 1985 approprta
Lion level by 80 percent.
First, this amendment says that no
intelligence program may exceed a
level which would have the effect of
making the oomblnation of Intelii-
gence and na^.nehrigenoe programs
exceed the level set by the Aspin
amendment. This approach Is, the es-
sence, I believe, of the Aspire amend-
ment, which was to Ymit the total
amount of Defense expenditures to
fiscal year 1985. My amendment will
ensure the intelligence authorization
figures will not result In esoeedIng
that fiscal year 1g85 .spending cap.
Second. this amendment provides
that In the case of cuts to the Defense
budget that are, in NLect, unalioc0ed,
such as those affecting operations and
maintenance, whatever allocable share
is eventually determined to apply to
intelligence programs will be auto-
matically taken from those programs.
The amendment ensures, in effect, an
automatic adjustment of the relevant
spending accounts to take account for
those across-the4xm" unallocated
cuts that were made to the Defense
bill
This amendment will not require re-
ductions In all intelligence program &
It will only require reductions where
without them defense categories
'would exceed the Aspin freeze levels
or where the intelligence budget's
share of defense cuts can be allocated.
There will be some real growth In
many intelligence programs. That,
however, is a function of both the
committee's and the administration's
belief that these subelemeats of the
Defense budget are important and de-
serve priority. The committee has not
given the administration all that it
sought.
As I indicated earlier, we have made
some significant cuts in many intelli-
gence programs, but we believe that
the total package of intelligence rec-
ommendations, combined with the
effect of this amendment, results in an
intelligence budget that support essen-
tial InteHfgenoe functions at defensible
spending levels. I urge the adoption of
the amendment.
Madam Chairman. I yield to the
gentleman from Arisona [Mr. 8rvmhrl.
Mr. STUMP. I thank the gentleman
for yiekInc
Madam Chairman, I rise in support
of the committee amendment offered
by the gentleman from Indiana.
The amendment will make absolute-
ly dear on the taco of. the bill that the
bill will not break any overall budget
ceIIhags ,which may be established by
the DOD Authorization Act, in which
96 peroemt of intelligence funds are
contained.
I emphasize to my colleagues on
both aides of the aisle that this
amendment does not preempt or over-
ride any autherbat ion decisions which
have been---or will be-made on other
awrthorhetion bIQs.
The amendment simply er cures that
authorization decisions made in ttdB
bill for intelligence prvgramn of the
variom Government department and
agencies will be fully consistent with
decisions on the - overdi budget of
these departments and agencies made
In other suthorfzation bIBS, such as
