19 OCT 1981
The Honorable Edward P. Boland, Chairman
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
I am concerned that there may be some confusion at the staff level about
the interpretation to be placed on the Administration's modified request for
FY 1982 funds and manpower levels for the Intelligence Community Staff. The
purpose of this letter is to provide my view of the situation for you.

this matter in the upcoming authorization conference.
people and Q In his letter of 30 Septe 1, David Stockman ' ' 25X1
indicated that the request was being reduced by that reduction 25X1
is almost equal to the reduction proposed by the HPSCI I I some have 25X1
argued that the Administration has, in effect, endorsed the House Committee's
programmatic actions. The similiarity is purely coincidental. OMB applied
the same 12 percent cut to the IC Staff that it levied on other departments
and agencies. Unfortunately, your committee reached its proposed level by
reducing external contracts and manpower levels., I believe we can reach the
Administration and committee endorsed funding level by a ing various parts
e budget and at the same time, cutting the staff to people from 25X1
On 1 October when I appeared before you and your c =tee colleagues to 25X1
discuss among other things, the IC Staff reorganization, I made a strong case
to restore at least 10 of the positions you had cut. I hope you will honor
that request and let us reallocate our budget. It is also very important, I
believe, for you to let us moderate the effect of your cut on our external
contracting requirements.
In`closing, let me urge the conferees to endorse a level of people 25X1
and allowing us the latitude to designate how thel ut is to 2X1
be to en. In this way the goals of the Congress, the Administration and the
DCI can all be met. I respectfully request your favorable consideration of
Sin ly,
Admiral, U.S. Navy
