ILLEGIB
SUBJECT: Statutory Inspector General
Attached at Tab A are talking points that explain our reasons
for opposing legislation to create a statutory Inspector General.
Senator Specter has introduced such lecislation, and the
Iran/Contra Committee may endorse the concept.
Attached at Tab E is a coFy of the portion of the Specter
bill dealinc with a statutory Inspector General. I have also
attached at Tat: C a copy of the Inspector General Act of 1978
that creates a statutory Inspector General for a variety of other
agencies and departments. You will note that the Act of 1978
gives the Inspector General broader powers and responsibilities
than are contained in the Specter bill. There is no legislation
zt this point which would add CIA to the list of agencies subject
to the Act of 1978.
