VIA: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Director, Office of External Affairs
SUBJECT: SSCI Request for Full Committee Nearing on El Salvador on
25 February 1982
1. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) requests that you
appear for a hearing on Thursday, 25 February 1982 at 10:00 a.m. in Room S-407,
The Capitol. SSCI will divide the hearing into two parts:
- An update on the El Salvador situation.
- A critical assessment of the intelligence coverage
on that situation.
SSCI believes the first (update) portion might be covered by a DDI analyst,
but they request that the DCI or DDCI present the second (assessment) portion
of the briefing. I recommend that you or the DDCI present both portions of
the briefing.
2. Please indicate if you can attend so that we may let the Committee
know as soon as possible.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director
FROM: ? Director, Office of External Affairs
SUBJECT: SSC' Request for Full Committee Nearing on El Salvador for
11 February 1982
?
1. Tom Connolly, Senator Joseph Biden's (D., DE) SSCI designee, telephoned
yesterday requesting CIA send briefers to a Full Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence (SSCI) hearing on 11 February 1982 at 10:00 a.m. in room S-407, .
The Capitol. The topic of the hearing is El Salvador. Rob Simmons, SSCI Staff
Director, confirms this hearing is scheduled and briefers from State/INR will
also be invited to attend.
2. Mr. Connolly said the hearing will consist of two parts:
- an update on the situation in El Salvador;
- a critical assessment of the coverage of that situation.
Mr. Connolly further suggested the first portion of the briefing might be
accomplished by a DDI analyst while the latter portion might be accomplished
by the DDCI or DCI.
3. The request for this briefing comes on the heels of the full Senate
Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC) hearing on the Presidential Certification
to the Congress regarding an improvement in human rights conditions in.
El Salvador on 8 February 1982. In addition, Mr. Connolly and five other
SSCI staff persons were briefed on El Salvador by DDI/OALA, on
Friday, 5 February. During the briefing, lindicated the coverage
of what is occurring outside the major urban areas in El Salvador is less
than ?adequate.
? 4. Attached is a New York Times article on El Salvador. The underlined
portion on the second page regarding "proof" of reduced levels of political
violence and "how the U.S. Embassy" collected evidence will undoubtedly come
up during this SSCI hearing.
5. If I can be of assistance in your preparation for this hearing,
please contact me or my staff.
