eiderable discussion and some revision vrill be required.
7. With respect to the balance of our legislative program it
is recommended that no action be taken usaleee: (1) the AlAsninistratioa
eliminates similar general legislation from its program mid, (2) we
beve reason to expect a snore fevorable reaction from the Congress
than is now indicated.

ACT OF 1949, AS AMENDED, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
SECTION 1.
Under Section 3(a) of the Central Intelligence Agency Act of
1949 the Agency is authorized to exercise certain procurement
authorities contained in the Armed Services Procurement Act of 1947.
The specific sections of the Armed Services Procurement Act, the
authorities of which CIA was authorized to exercise, were incor-
porated. by reference in Section 3(a) of the CIA Act of 1949. Since
passage of the CIA Act, additional functions have been assigned to
the Agency. This, and added experience, indicate the need to
exercise other authorities contained in the Armed Serviced Pro-
curement Act of 1947.
Under Section 2(c) of the Procurement Act, the Armed Services
may negotiate purchases and contracts without advertising in
seventeen listed circumstances. The Agency is now authorized by
Section 3(a) of the CIA Act to negotiate in ten of these circum-
stances. It is requested that the remaining negotiation authorities
of Section 2(c) be given this Agency.
The Agency has substantial and vitally necessary programs in
fields where research and development: standardization of equipment
and provision of new or stand-by production facilities are necessities.

resultant shorter service, economically feasible.
