The Honorable Dave Durenberger
Chairman
Select Committee on intelligence
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Mr. Chairman:
I am pleased to inform you that Director Casey has signed
the supplemental covert action notification procedures.
Enclosed is a copy of those procedures with the Director's
signature.
I share your belief that the supplemental procedures will
make a valuable contribution to the implementation of the
requirement under the Intelligence oversight Act that the
Committee be kept fully and currently informed of all
intelligence activities, including any significant anticipated
intelligence activities. Thank you for your cooperation in
this matter.
A similar letter is being provided to Vice-Chairman Leahy.
Sincerely,
%s/ David D. Gries
David D. Dries
