On April 11 the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, by unanimous
voice vote, ordered reported favorably H.R. 5164, The Central Intelligence
Agency Information Act.
In anticipation of consideration of this important measure by the
Committee on Government Operations and the full House of Representatives, it
is an appropriate time to confirm this Committee's understanding that upon
enactment of H.R. 5164 the Agency will establish a specific program designed
to produce compliance with the current FOIA processing deadlines for new
requests and'to effect a substantial reduction, if not the entire elimination,
of the current backlog of FOIA requests. Furthermore, it is expected that the
Agency will not reduce its budgetary and personnel allocation for FOIA
activities during the two year period following enactment.
As you know, the prospect of achieving these goals has been a major factor
in securing the overwhelming congressional support, thus far evidenced, for
this legislation.
It has been a pleasure working with
5164. I look forward to its prompt enactment.
With every good wish, I am
and his staff on H.R.
