MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Legislation Division,
Office of Legislative Liaison
SUBJECT: HR 5399 Title IV, FY 85 Intelligence
Authorization Bill
1. I have reviewed Title IV of the House Bill with the
Office of Security. Overall, we believe that a direct grant of
authority, vice a delegation from GSA, is preferable. The
independent authority, may give rise to some minor problems
with maintaining "cover" of buildings like which
while not covert, are not widely acknowledged as CIA
facilities. Security does not consider this a serious problem
and believes that the benefits of an independent authority
outweigh these concerns.
2. I suggest one change to section 401 at page 8:
"except that such personnel shall perform such functions
and exercise such powers only within facilities owned or
leased by, or on behalf of, CIA" ...
This language would clearly extend the DCI's authority to all
classes of Agency facilities.
