SUBJECT: Weekly OGC Report for the DCI/DDCI
ITEMS OF MAJOR INTEREST - 13 - 19 November 1982
Wilson Case. Edwin Wilson, convicted on 17 November in
the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, for smuggling
weapons to representatives of the Libyan Government, will be
sentenced on 17 December and may receive a maximum sentence
of 39 years and a $240,000 fine. Wilson also faces charges
in Houston on illegal exportation of plastic explosives to
Libya and in Washington, D.C. on attempted murder and
illegal exportation of explosive timers and other ammunition
to Libya. The Houston trial is scheduled to begin on
29 November, but the defense may request a continuance.
The conviction of Edwin Wilson was a signal victory for
CIA and the Intelligence Community in general. The Wilson
case demonstrates that, as a result of close cooperation
between the Department of Justice and CIA and judicious
application of the Classified Information Procedures Act
(Graymail Act), criminals can be brought to justice in the
face of spurious claims of CIA involvement and without
compromising sensitive information.
Former Spouses. On 15 November the provisions of the
CIA Spouses' Retirement Equity Act of 1982, granting
certain rights to qualifying spouses and former spouses,
took effect. The amended regulations, which have been
informally coordinated within the Agency, will be formally
promulgated in the near future. They detail the rights
granted by law to qualifying individuals in retirement and
survivor annuities.

-- FY 1983 Appropriation. The House Appropriations Committee completed
Subcommittee markup of the FY 1983 Defense Appropriations Bill. Details
of their actions are not available, but indications are that recommenda-
tions on the Agency's request may closely parallel Authorization
Conference. Full Committee markup is scheduled for 30 November, with
floor action hopefully during the week of 6 December.
-- Space Requirements. The House Appropriations Committee has advised
informally t o r quest to to lease the
be denied without prejudice. The Chairman was
apparently reluctant to approve a reprogramming before passage of the
1983 Defense Appropriations Bill.
