11 September 1986
FROM: Dave Gries
SUBJECT: Legislation to move DCI up to Executive Level I and
DDCI up to Executive Level II
1. Since 1980 we have attempted to introduce legislation
providing for Executive Level I compensation for the DCI and
Executive Level II compensation for the DDCI. On each occasion
HPSCI has informally put us on notice that it will not accept
such an amendment. We have had limited success with SSCI.
Accordingly, all of our efforts have been through the Senate.
2. Our most recent attempt has been via the Intelligence
Authorization bill for FY 86. Executive Level compensation is
a matter within the jurisdiction of the Senate Governmental
Affairs Committee and Sen. Durenberger referred the matter to
that Committee, which is chaired by Sen. Roth. Governmental
Affairs voting was as follows:
Against: Roth, Durenberger, Nunn, Glenn, Gore,
Cochran, Levin, Chiles, Mathias and Rudman
For: Eagleton, Stevens and Cohen
Our reading of the vote is that those voting "against" were
strongly against, while those voting "for" were only mildly
supportive.
3. Talking points used to gain support for the amendment
are as follows:
-- The responsibility of the DCI and DDCI have
increased dramatically in the last ten years. For
example a world wide mandate for Anti-terrorism and
Anti-Narcotics; Arms Control verification and
monitoring requirements and responsibility for major
expansion of technical systems
-- DCI/DDCI need authority to match their
responsibility
-- DCI oversees intelligence community which includes
DOD, DEA, NSA, and Intelligence components of Army,
Navy, Air Force, Treasury, Energy, and FBI as well as
Intelligence Community Staff
4. As an additional option to be used in a subsequent
appeal to SSCI we can ask that the effective date of the
amendment be set for FY 1989. This suggests that the DCI and
DDCI
are seeking the amendment to
match
the necessary authority
with
gain.
the responsibilities of the
Amendments are attached.
