240 THE COMMONWEALTH
"President Created Intelligence Oversight Board
In Response to Recent CIA Inquiries," says Bush
FRIDAY FLASHES - JULY 23rd
From Address by
THE HONORABLE GEORGE BUSH,
Director, CIA
"Let me tell you something of the mech-
anism that has been created by the U.S.
government to gather and produce intelli-
gence. As you know, it was World War
II-and specifically Pearl Harbor-which
focused American attention on the need
not just for information, but for a unified,
national intelligence service. Before the
war, we had what could be called depart-
mental intelligence. The War Department
had military intelligence, the Navy De-
partment had naval Intelligence and so on.
Warning for Pearl Haber?
But in today's terminology, no one was
'getting it together.' All of the informa-
tion that might have led an analyst to
conclude that Japan intended to attack
Pearl Harbor was available in Washing-
ton however, it was not in one place for
an analyst to study; It was instead in
separate bits and pieces carefully con-
trolled by each department.
After the war, it was clear that America
required continuing intelligence on devel-
opments and trends abroad and that a cen-
tral organization was needed -to ensure
that we had all our facts together and
would never again be caught by surprise.
In 1047, President Truman signed into
law the National Security Act which
created the Central Intelligence Agency.
The Agency was intended to be-and is--
the central point for producing national
intelligence, that is, Intelligence produced
to serve national policymakers and intelli-
gency of Interest to more than one depart-
ment or agency.
The National Security Act also created
the position of Director of Central Intelli-
gence-the DCI. The DCI Is the nation's
senior foreign intelligence officer and the
President's principal advisor on foreign
intelligence. It was intended that the
DCI wear two hats: one as Director of the
CIA and the other as head of the intelli-
gence community as a whole.
In 1971, the President Instructed the
DCI to take a more active role in coordi-
nating the resources and activities of the
community. In the past five years we have
made major strides in building a true in-
telligence community. The community
now consists of the CIA; the Defense In-
telligency Agency; the National Security
Agency; and the intelligence components
of the military services, the Department
of State, the FBI, the Treasury Depart-
ment, and the Energy Research and De-
velopment Administration.

THE COMMONWEALTH 241
"'Secrecy and Accountability: Essential Components
Of National Security and Foreign Relations in U.S. "
BUSH (Continued from preceding page)
In February, as you probably remember,
President Ford issued an Executive Order
that strengthened the DCI's role as the
leader of the nation's intelligence com-
munity. That order also directed new or-
ganizational arrangements to strengthen
the DCI's management of the community.
These new arrangements have made
some very important changes, and I would
like to take just -a minute to outline some
of them. I think it is very important for
you to understand these relationships in
order to support the mission of your in-
telligence service and to repose trust and
reliance in the manner in which we con-
duct ourselves and our business.
A Committee on Foreign Intelligence,
which I chair, has been created by the
President. It controls budget preparation
and resource application for the entire
national foreign intelligence program. It
manages our intelligence activities and
establishes policy for the collection and
production of national intelligence.
Covert Action Reviewed
An Operational Advisory Group has
been established to make recommenda-
tions to the President concerning special
intelligence activities in support of na-
tional foreign policy objectives-that is,
covert action. The group also reviews and
approves sensitive intelligence collection
operations. The members of this board in-
elude the Assistant to the President for
National Security Affairs, the,Secretaries
of State and Defense, the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Director of
Central Intelligence.
In response to the investigations of U.S.
intelligence activities conducted by the
Rockefeller. Commission and by the Sen-
ate and House Select Committees, the
President has created an Intelligence
Oversight Board of three prominent pri-
vate citizens. This Board receives and con-
siders reports by the inspectors general
and general conusels of the intelligence
community concerning any activities that
raise questions of legality ;or propriety. It
is the Board's responsibility to ensure that
the Attorney General and the President
are properly advised.
In order to enable me to devote more
attention to formulating and carrying out
cspolicies for the community, the President
also has directed that I have two deputies.
)One is responsible to me for the day-to-day
operation of the CIA and the other is re-
sponsible to me for accomplishing my role
as head of the intelligence community.
Legislation to establish these positions
will be introduced in the near future.
Role of CIA
Having given you the outline of the in-
telligence community and of its control
mechanism, let me speak very briefly
about the specific role of the Central In-
telligency Agency. The CIA is the nation's
resource for producing national intelli-
gence.
Science and technology provide us to-
day with means of collecting information
that is beyond the wildest imaginings of
even a few years ago. Yet despite the
mind-boggling advances made in this area,
there is still an_essential need for infor-
mation from people. Trained and experi-
enced people are necessary to acquire in-
formation that is only available through
'access to knowledgeable foreign officials
and to the intentions of foreign govern-
ments that may be adverse to U.S. inter-
ests.
National Security Essential
I -am a comparative newcomer to the
intelligence business, but I have been im-
mersed long enough to have no hesitancy
in saying that the Central Intelligence
Agency is an organization of which the
entire nation can be proud.
The world is not yet such as we would
want it to be. Maybe it never will be. It
certainly is not likely. to become a utopian
world within our lifetime or even in the
foreseeable future. And while we are striv-
ing to make our contribution to a world of
peace and security and trust, we find that
we still need-quite consistent with this
striving-to have national security second
to none in the world.
The one element of the profession of
intelligence, that essential component of
national security and foreign relations,
that has trobuled us as citizens of a free

242 THE COMMONWEALTH
"Democratic Institutions May Sow Seeds of Weakness
But They Exist to Make Us Strong and Self-Reliant"
BUSH (Continued from preceding page)
nation is the necessary element of secrecy
that is Inherent in our profession. It is no
wonder that even the very fact of secrecy
tends to stimulate suspicion and give an
aura of sensationalism, and therefore of-
ten an entirely erroneous perspective to
various disclosures and findings, occasion-
ally, If I may say so, without due regard
for the amount and quality of evidence.
Recklessness Threatens Security
If secrecy is essential, so too is account-
ability. No activity of our government may
be conducted without being subjected to
a reliable and responsible system of
checks and balances. But, accountability
is one thing; recklessness is another. It is
not those who disclose the names of our
intelligence officer serving abroad that
add to the security of a free society. It is
not those who believe they can on their
own judgment disclose Information which
has been classified in the interests of our
security that contribute to the responsive-
ness of government to the people. And It
is not those who determinedly deny the
good will and responsibility of people In
and out of government by dwelling on
abuses of the past that enhance the mech-
anism of accountability which this free
society has created for the control of
legitimately secret government responsi-
bilities.
Seeds of Strength
The great majority of us have faith in
the strength and effectiveness of our dem-
ocratic institutions, for while democratic
institutions may be used to sow seeds of
weakness and distrust, they exist in order
to make us strong and self-reliant.
You all know some of the problems I
face in this job. I wish you could also
share in the pride I feel for our intelli-
gence community and the comfort I get,
as an American, in seeing the tremendous
talent we have in the CIA and across the
whole community.
I wish you could talk to some of our
employees whose heads are high after a
couple of years of vicious battering. They
are as vigorously opposed to the mistakes
of the past as our strongest critics, but
they have retained a perspective. They
know the need for a strong intelligence
community, and they are prepared to
withstand the battering, if that is neces-
sary, to work for a cause they believe in.
Reassurance and Pride
I wish you could have met the son of
Richard Welch, who was gunned down fol-
lowing disclosure of his name by people
bent on destroying the CIA. This young
man knew well that his father had died
for a cause in which he deeply believed.
And I hope that increasingly also you
will draw reassurance and pride from the
manner in which the intelUgeney commu-
nity not only responds to the direction of
the elected chief executive but also Is ac-
countable to the elected representatives
in Congress.
I believe that America's intelligence
service is a great national asset. We are
working hard to make it even better. Your
understanding, support and trust are es-
sential for our success." (JMR)
Answers to Written Questions from Floor:
Q: Why aren't recent Congressional dis-
closures and leaks treated as violations of
the Federal Espionage Statutes? A: Federal
Espionage Statutes don't cover them. New
legislation is required to tighten up on this
problem.
at hose who leak Information tlaw
her
than receive It.
Q: Who should control secrecy in the na-
tional defense? A: Director of CIA is
charged under law with protection of
sources and methods of Intelligence. Vari-
ous departments also have Internal regula-
tions governing classification and secrecy.
Q: Is Director informed of all CIA activi-
ties? Is it true that Congress has no knowl-
edge of funds expended by CIA? A: Direc-
tor had better be Informed[ As In any
management position, there are certain
things you stay informed on and certain
things you don't. After all, It's a big opera-
tion. The question, to me, has connotation
of are you sure you know what's going on
In terms of activities that my be Illegal?
I hope that I do. There is machinery for
oversight that will hopefully guarantee
that I do. And, as to second part of question,
Congress does have knowledge of CIA's ex-
penditures.
Q: Have Congress and press destroyed
CIA's effectiveness by too much publicity?
A: There has been excessive publicity as it
is popular to expose and blame CIA. It has

complicated the lives of our people. I was
a member of Congress and I respect their
inquiries as they were in accordance with
our Constitution. Some sources abroad and
some officials abroad have held back, but
it is a manageable situation. It will vanish
with proper management.
Q: Under present laws, whose responsi-
bility is it to uncover a hypothetical Con-
gressman engaged In both foreign and do-
mestic subversive activities against the
U.S.? A: What is this hypothetical Con-
gressman's name?! It would be responsi-
bility of FBI.
Q: What should be done to control Jack
Anderson's release of sensitive confidential
information? A: I don't know what can be
done within our Constitution. We don't
need official Secrecy Act but do need some
controls over abuse of security.
Q: Could U.S. intelligence community
mount and execute successfully a deliver-
ance of hijacked hostages such as Israel
did recently? A: We have important role
to furnish such information but we are not
in the position to perform such a rescue.
One of our top priority concerns is increas-
ing use of terrorist activity for political
motives.

must be watching closel : what is the our-
rent U.S. overview of the situation? A: I
don't accept premise that U.S. has washed
its hands. As for myself, I am terribly con-
cerned for Lebanon, I know that is also the
view of U.S. policymakers. The crisis there
involves complicated cross-currents-Chris-
tians, USSR, PLO, etc. (JMR)
