CONFERENCE REPORT ON H.R.
4387, INTELLIGENCE AUTHORI-
ZATION ACT, FLSCAL YEAR 1989
Mr. STOKES. Mr. Speaker, I call up
the conference report on the bill (H.R.
4387) to authorize appropriations for
fiscal year 1989 for intelligence and in-
telligence-related activities of the U.S.
Government, for the Intelligence
Community Staff, for the Central In-
telligence Agency Retirement and Dis-
ability System, and for other purposes.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr.
GRAY of Illinois). Pursuant to the rule,
the conference report is considered as
having been read.
(For conference report and &tea-
ment, see proceedings of the House of
August 11, 1988.)
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The
gentlenkan from Ohio [Mr. &roan]
will be recognized for 30 minutes, and
the gentleman from Illinois [Mr.
HYDE). WM be recognized for 30 min-
utes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman
from Ohio [Mr. SToszsl.
Mr. STOKES, Mr. Speaker, I yield
myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker. I rise in strong support
of the conference report to accompany
H.R. 4387, the Fiscal Year /989 Intelli-
gence Authorization Act. This was an
intelligence conference on which the
two committees reached swift agree-
ment. Essentially, in terms of legisla-
tive content, it includes the House pro-
visions and several Senate provisions
not originally found in the House bill.
These include a requirement for regu-
lar reports to the Intelligence Commit-
tees on the appointment and activities
of the CIA's inspector general and 1-
year special death gratuity extended
for defense attaches killed because of
hostile or terrorist acts.
The funding authorized by the bill,
which is set forth in the classified
schedule of authorization incorporated
by reference, is described in detail in
the classified annex to the statement
of managers accompanying the confer-
ence report. Both are available for the
review of all Members of the House in
the Offices of the Intelligence Com-
mittee. I can say that your committee
Is pleased with the recommendations
for funding contained in those docu-
ments.
I wish to commend all members of
the Committee on Conference for
their participation throughout the
year in the budget authorization proc-
ess and, particularly, the gentleman
from Wyoming [Mr. Cesser], the
ranking minority member of the Sub-
committee on Program and Budget
Authorization. As always, the commit-
tee has relied greatly on the assistance
and helpful cooperation of Mr. HYDE,
the ranking minority member of the
full committee, in reaching this con-
ference agreement.
Mr. Speaker, I believe that the im-
pression is sometimes given that the
Intelligence Committee is deeply divid-
ed on partisan basis. It is true that
there are such issues from time to
time but, in my experience as a
member of this committee and par-
ticularly as chairman, they have been
rare and, where the divisions have oc-
curred, they have been on principle.
They have been fairly debated and
q 111565
Mex4b&s have e the sues with
respect Ior each other's sincerely held
positions.
But this bill, which represents the
major, annual recurring work of the
committee, reflects, as It has for so
many years before, strong bipartisan
agreement by all members of the Com-
mittee on the Appropriate level of re-
sources and administrative authorities
for our Intelligence Services. These
agencies are, as I have said in the past,
among the finet? Af ettTtlileirest. in
the world.
The committee believes that the
level of funding recommended in the
conference report is appropriate and
will sustain the kind of intelligence ca-
pabilities and the level of Intelligence
activities necessary to protest this
country and provide its policymakers
and military commanders with the
necessary Intelligence information.
Obviously, we would all wish that
more resources were available for in-
telligence but they are not available
and likely will not be available in the
years to come at the same levels of
growth as they have been in the past.,
Therefore, the intelligence challenge
we will face in the future will be a
tougher one than that which we now
face. We will have to do more with less
In the years to come. I think, however,
that the recommendations of the
Committee of Conference for fiscal
year 1989 will stand us in good stead
by permitting a level of intelligence ac-
tivity sufficient to support U.S. for-
eign, defense, and economic programs.
I should note in closing that the
fiscal year 1989 authorization levels
recommended in the conference report
are consistent with the budget resolu-
tion and fully congruent with those
recommended in the fiscal year 1989
defense authorization bill vetoed by
the President.
Mr. Speaker, this conference report
Is rather straightforward and fully
supported on both sides of the aisle. I
endorse it wholeheartedly and urge its
adoption by the House.
Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he
may consume to the gentleman from
Florida [Mr. Pascem], the distin-
guished chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs.
Mr. FASCELL. Mr. Speaker, I thank
the gentleman for yielding time to me.
I rise in support of the conference
report, and I rise also for the purpose
of making some legislative history
here.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to engage
the gentleman from Ohio, the distin-
guished chairman of the Intelligence
Committee, in a colloquy. It is my un-
derstanding that the conference-
report currently before the House au-
thorizes the appropriation of funds
and personnel positions for the Office
of Security Evaluation [SEC)] under
the direction of the Director of Cen-
tral Intelligence.
It is my understanding that the Sec-
retary of State and the Director of

There are differing opinions within
the Congress on where the agencies

Being in the unique position of serv-

to add here a special plea. I certainly
do not wish to see these proud bodies
become a mere pawn in various turf
battles, rather than concentrating on
ekercisIng their oversight function to
ensure that the job gets done. This
would cause lasting bitterness between
the committees and impede desperate-
ly needed security improvements.
