I FEB 1982
Honorable George Bush
President of the United
States Senate
Washington., D.C. 20510
Dear Mr. President:
This'letter transmits for the consideration of the
Congress a draft "Intelligence Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1983."
Cooperative efforts by the Executive and Legislative
Branches in the authorization process last year reflected the
consensus which exists with regard to the need to revitalize our
nation's intelligence capabilities. I am confident that for
fiscal year 1983 the Congress will continue to provide the
resources needed to ensure the Intelligence Community's ability
to monitor the military activities of our adversaries and to
provide accurate assessments of the political, economic, and
social forces which will shape world affairs in the 1980's.
The draft Intelligence Authorization Act is accompanied
by a detailed sectional analysis. Early and favorable consid-
eration of the "Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
1983" would be greatly appreciated. The Office of Management
and Budget has advised that enactment of this proposed
legislation would be in accord with the program of the
President.
Sincerely,
William J. Casey
