Honorable David A. Stockman, Director
Office of Management and Budget
Washington, D`. C. 20503
In accordance with Office of Management and Budget
Circular No. A-19, revised, I am submitting proposed legis-
lation.for your advice as to whether it is in accord with
the program of the President. Enclosed are ten copies of a
draft "Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1983_"
Also enclosed are draft letters of transmittal to the
President of the Senate and to the Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
The Fiscal Year 1983 Intelligence Authorization Act
was identified as proposal number 97/2-4 in the proposed
Central Intelligence Agency and Intelligence Community
Legislative Program for the second session of the ninety-
seventh Congress, which was forwarded to your Office
on 15 November 1981 with the consolidated National Foreign
Intelligence Program budget. The basic provisions of the
draft Fiscal Year 1983 Intelligence Authorization Bill are
substantively similar to those in the Fiscal Year 1982 Act

I would be most appreciative of your assistance in
securing prompt clearance of this proposed legislation.

Honorable Thoas P. O'Neill, Jr.
Speaker of the House of
Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Mr. Speaker:
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

INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES
Section 101 lists the departments, agencies, and other
elements of the United States Government for whose intelli-
gence and intelligence-related activities the Act authorizes
;appropriations for fiscal year 1983. - w
Section 102~makes clear that details of the amounts
.'authorized to..be appropriated for intelligence and intelli-
gence-related activities and personnel ceilings covered
under this title for fiscal year 1983 are contained in a
Glassified Schedule of Authorizations. The Schedule of
Authorizations is incorporated into the Act by this section.
Section 103 requires that no funds may be appropriated
or otherwise made available through tran-sfer, reprogramming,
etc., unless specifically authorized or accompanied by notifi-
cation. It is understood that specifically authorized intelli-
gence activities are those activities described in annual budget
justification material as modified by the Congress. The notifi-
cation requirement is not intended to apply to reprogrammings
below agreed-to dollar thresholds, releases from authorized
contingency funds, or to Economy Act transactions for specific
activities otherwise authorized by law. Notification required
under this provision is normally expected to be made at least
fifteen days prior to completion of the funding transaction,
but it is recognized that circumstances may occasionally require
later notification.
Should questions arise as to the relationship between
section 103 and section 501 of the National Security Act
of 1947, it is expected that resolution will be guided by
the principles of comity and mutual understanding set forth
in the legislative history accompanying the statutory intelli-
gence oversight provisions enacted in 1980.
Section 104 makes clear that, with the exception of any
specific legislative authorities which may be contained in
the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1983, the
Act is intended only to authorize appropriations and does
not constitute authority for the conduct of any intelligence
activity prohibited by the Constitution or laws of the.
United States.

INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY STAFF
Section 201 authorizes appropriations for the Intelli-
gence Community Staff, which provides the Director of
Central Intelligence with staff assistance to carry out his
Intelligence Community responsibilities:
Subsection 202(a). authorizes personnel end strength
for the Intelligence Community Staff, and provides that
personnel may be permanent employees of the Staff or detailed
from various elements of the United States Government.
Subsection 202(b) requires that detailed employees be
selected so as to provide appropriate representation from
the various departments and agencies engaged in intelligence
and intelligence-related activities.
Subsection 202(c) requires that personnel be detailed
on a reimbursable basis except for temporary situations.
Section 203 provides that the Director of Central Intelli-
gence shall utilize existing statutory authority to manage the
activities and to pay the personnel of the Intelligence Community
Staff. This language reaffirms the statutory authority of the
Director of Central Intelligence and clarifies the legal status
of the Intelligence Community Staff. In the case of detailed
personnel it is understood that the authority of the Director
of Central Intelligence to discharge personnel extends only to
discharge from service at the Intelligence Community Staff and
not from federal employment or military service.

for the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability
Fund.

TECHNICAL PROVISIONS
Section 401 provides authority for adjustments to
federal employee compensation and benefits during fiscal
year 1983 which are increased by current or subsequently
en.acted law. The section obviates the-rlecessity for
'separate authorizations for such increases during the fiscal
;year .
Section 402 brings the intelligence and intelligence-
related activities authorization of appropriations process
into:technical compliance with section 607 of P.L. 93-344,
'the`Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of
1974, which requires that appropriations be authorized in
the calendar year prior to the year in which the fiscal year
begins.
Section 403 restores Central Intelligence Agency
automatic data processing equipment and services procure-
ment authority which was constrained by enactment of
section 111 of the Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act (FPASA) of 1949, as amended (40 U.S.C. 759),
granting certain government-wide authorities to the
Administrator of General Services and the Secretary of
Commerce. In 1981, Congress enacted in the Fiscal Year
1982 Department of Defense Authorization Act a provision,
similar to this section, which excludes all Department of
Defense automatic data processing equipment and services
procurement for DoD intelligence activities from the scope
of section 111 of the FPASA. This congressional recognition
of the need for automatic data processing flexibility in
support of intelligence activities would properly be
extended to automatic data processing support for the
intelligence activities of the Central Intelligence
Agency by enactment of this section.
