--Holmes thanked the Agency for its help on the INF
Treaty.
--Holmes asked about the status of the answer to
Senator Kerry's request for information on Panamanian
strongman Noreiga and raised a new request from
Senator Pell for documents relating to narcotics and
the contras. Holmes explained that Senator Boren made
a commitment to Senators Pell and Kerry, and that the
Agency risked getting caught in a jurisdictional
dispute between the SSCI and the Senate Foreign
Relations Committtee.
--On the modified "Statutory" IG legislation, the
staff said the draft provided to us in the main
reflected the staff's understanding of the discussion
between Senator Boren and Judge Webster at the hearing
on this issue. They indicated a willingness to
discuss the details. According to Holmes this would
not come up until the markup of the Intelligence
Authorization Bill which is some weeks away. The DDCI
will attend the markup and Holmes indicated that the
DCI was welcome to attend also. It was also
understood that this issue would be on the agenda for
the next meeting between the DCI and the Chairman and
Vice Chairman. Holmes also said that it was not
certain that the amendment would be attached to the
Authorization Bill; Senator Boren has to consider the
possibility that such an amendment might risk the Bill
being referred to another Committee.
