-- We will deliver to the House Intelligence Committee on 25 March responses
to a large number of questions on the FY 1989 program engendered by the
16 March HPSCI budget hearing and the package of interim budget materials
we had earlier provided the Committee. The interim package was
necessarily less complete than the formal Congressional Budget Justifi-
cation Book that is now in final stages of preparation. All materials
have'gone to the printer and we anticipate a delivery date of 1 April to
the Hill.
-- The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) has postponed until
11 April its hearing on our FY 1989 budget.
-- We are also preparing follow-up materials requested by SSCI staff who
conducted the review of the base portion of our FY 1987 budget. This
review, undertaken as part of SSCI's consideration of our 1989 budget
request, focused on how base resources are actually used.
