The Honorable William J. Casey
Director of Central Intelligence
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D.C. 20505
The Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
1986 established a requirement for you to prepare and submit
with the FY 1987 NFIP budget a National Intelligence Strategy.
The Act also set forth a number of components to be included
in the National Intelligence Strategy in order to achieve
our goals of (1) making national intelligence more respon-
sive and more relevant to the needs of the intelligence
consumer; (2) strengthening Congressional oversight of
national intelligence and the Intelligence Community; (3)
improving the understanding of both the Executive and
Legislative Branches of the objectives of the intelligence
investment program and the methods used to plan and manage
national intelligence; and (4) better preparing U.S.
national intelligence and the Intelligence Community for the
future.
It is our understanding that you will complete prep-
aration of the National Intelligence Strategy by mid-January.
Accordingly, we invite you to appear before the Committee to
brief us on this effort on Wednesday, January 29, 1986, in
room SH-219 at 9:30 AM. The Committee has long believed
that the National Intelligence Strategy should represent
your vision of the Intelligence Community's future, and it
is this vision that we would like you to present at this
session. In particular, we request that you address the
following areas of interest relative to the Strategy:
o How the Strategy was developed, the methodologies
used to prepare it, and how it has been (or will
be) coordinated with intelligence consumers;

o The critical developments in the intelligence
environment (both current and projected) that have
shaped the Strategy, and the effects that those
developments have had on both prior intelligence
investment priorities and plans for the future;
and
o The key intelligence requirements identified by
the Strategy, their priorities, and their effects
on both prior intelligence investment priorities
and plans for the future.
We ask that you limit your presentation to about 30
minutes to permit the maximum amount of time for questions
by the Committee. Finally, we intend to address the Covert
Action Annex to the National Intelligence Strategy at our
Covert Action budget hearing, so you need not include this
aspect of the Strategy in your presentation.
We look forward to works ith you on the National
Intelligence Strategy and t nk y in advance for your
cooperation.

General support covers a broad range of margement and administrative
support activities. These activities provide the management direction and
centralized support services to respond to the unique aspects of the
intelligence mission and responsibilities of the Agency.
We shall continue ongoing activities such as operation and maintenance of
the world-wide carununicaticns network that serves the Agency and, through the
Diplomatic Telecommunication Service, other agencies abroad. We have used
existing government-owned or leased UHF satellite systems to implement a
secure crisis canmunications capability as a ccnmon service to the
Intelligence Community. By means of specially developed mobile equipment, the
system has provided support to Cabinet Officers and special Presidential
envoys, as well as NSA and CIA operations. The system is routinely exercised
with elements of the U.S. military to be ready for events that place Americans
in threatening circumstances overseas. A major and current canmunications
network capitalization program is designed to ensure the capacity and speed of
communications services required to meet requirements. We plan to continue
network modernization and to acquire satellite power and bandwidth needed to
meet all present and future non-conventional communications requirements.
In the security arena we are maintaining and will expand, where required,
a world-wide security program to ensure protection of Agency personnel,
activities, information, and facilities in a timely and efficient manner. At
the same time, we are assisting the Director of Central Intelligence in
discharging his security responsibilities to the Intelligence Ccmnunity by
devoting sufficient resources and support to maximize and ultimately
eliminating duplicative activities. This includes security upgrades to
counter danestic and overseas terrorist threats. It also includes for
example, our acoustic and shielded enclosures program. These enclosures are
.specially designed, prefabricated walls, ceilings, and floors caL trusted
within a larger facility in U.S. missions overseas to prevent conversations
and/or certain electronic emanations from being overheard, intercepted, and
exploited.
Our ADP services program shall continue to respond to existing
requirements for canputer and related systems support, as well as provide for
expected increased demands for data processing in all aspects of the Agency's
activities including requirements for more electronically assisted
intelligence production. We are proceeding with a multi-year effort to
modernize the Agency's computer terminals by ccmbining word and data
processing into a single work station and provide connectivity to a new high
performance data catmmunications network. In addition, we are expanding and
intensifying our effort in computer security. We are also pursuing
requirements and continuing to provide ADP support to the Intelligence
Community, as we do with the CAMS II project for COMIREX.

We provide logistics support to Agency activities world-wide. Included
are the acquisition, storage, shipment, and disposal of materiel; printing and
photography services; the acquisition, construction, renovation, maintenance,
operation, and disposal of real property; the negotiation and administration
of contracts with commercial organizations, and agreements with other
Government agencies, for supply of goods and nonpersonal services; and the
provision of logistical services to Headquarters and selected elements of the
Intelligence Catmiunity. For example, we are heavily involved in supporting
the Afghanistan program through acquisition, testing, inspection, repair,
packing, and shipping of materiel.
In the personnel arena we provide a wide range of centralized and
decentralized personnel activities required to support the Agency's continuing
intelligence collection and production missions. Major long range personnel
goals continue to be the recruitment and processing in the proper skills mix
of high quality employees, especially career trainees and critical skills
personnel; the development and management of comprehensive employee benefits
and services programs; the operation of a centralized travel service; the
continuation of a rigorous position management and classification function,
including further development of pay banding techniques; the aggressive
pursuit increased minority representation in the Agency's work force; and the
continuing development of policies, standards, and procedures for personnel
management within the Agency
We will continue to provide medical support in clinical, psychiatric, and
psychological screening of both employees and dependents of pre- and
post-overseas assigrnment; traditional medical support and additional services
such as counseling, training, health lectures, employee assistance, and safety
program; and assistance to the clandestine service and retention of agents and
assets, and production of intelligence.
The centralized Agency training program - requirement for training
continues to grow - will provide the capability to meet demands for training
in analysis, operations, and foreign languages; provide training to support
the expanding use of automated information systems; and further strengthen the
Agency's orientation and training of new employees.
We will continue to develop and operate the Agency's financial systems
which involves recording and reporting on the statues, use, and accountability
of all funds, property and assets for which the Director of Central
Intelligence is responsible. We will conduct audits of the Agency's
commercial contractors and covertly procures foreign currencies abroad in
support of overseas operations. Also, we are responsible for the payment of
salaries to all Agency staff and contract employees, and timely payment of
contractor billing as required by the Prompt Payment Act.

23 October 1985
The Honorable Dave Durenberger
Chairman, Select Committee on Intelligence
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Dave,
There seems to be'a misunderstanding as to how we should go about
developing a national foreign intelligence strategy and a plan to
implement such a strategy.
I hear from up on the Hill that I have approved the draft Guidelines
which have been circulated. That is not correct. I told Bernie McMahon,
and reaffirmed to you in a briefing last week, that I thought it was
counterproductive to spend time writing Guidelines in the abstract and
that instead I would go ahead and have a strategy paper--based on our
interaction on this thus far--developed by the managers of the
Intelligence Community. This process is already underway, and I expect
to have a first draft in November.
If we undertake to develop a plan pursuant to Guidelines developed in
a vacuum rather than in the context of actually addressing the challenges
and issues themselves in their detail, it is likely to be a long, drawn
out and unproductive undertaking. Some elements in the draft Guidelines
we have seen would require an amount of precision and effort far beyond
their value.
I believe the course on which I told you I would, and have now
embarked, is a more practical and useful method of achieving our joint
purpose. Therefore, I hope that, at this stage, no language referring to
specific Guidelines will be put into the Authorization Bill. I'm afraid
that would restrict and divert both of us from what'can best and most
usefully be accomplished in this process and delay us in what we have
already started to do.
The practical and cooperative way to address this would be for us to
get our proposed plan to you, review it together and then see how we can
meet any shortfalls you may find in what we do. If you feel that some
reference to this effort needs to be included in the Authorization Bill,
I would suggest'it be confined to a statement along the following lines:
-- The Director of Central Intelligence, in cooperation with (or at
the request of) the Committees, is developing a national
intelligence strategy. As a result of this collaboration, the
Director of Central Intelligence is preparing an implementing
plan which will include both the Intelli,gence Community's
assessment of long-range intelligence needs, capabilities and
shortfalls, and its proposals for dealing with these shortfalls.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/02 : CIA-RDP88GO1332R000901020013-6
This would be the operative provision. The Committees or the
conferees--either before or after such a statement--can spell out general
eral
and goals in the overall strategy and take note of factors
which will shape the development of any plan such as the information
explosion, the increasing difficulty and complexity of collection
competition for resources, etc. the
If we proceed quietly and expeditiously, as we have already begun, I
believe we will get to the heart of the matter and get something valuable
done in fairly short order. 9 uable
Yours,
William J. Casey
