CE representatives met on 5 February with Congressman John Conyers of Michigan, at his request, to discuss the Agency's minority recruitment efforts. The meeting focused primarily on what programs, if any, the Agency has which could be initiated or expanded in the Detroit, Michigan, area to assist young black people. The Congressman basically is interested in programs to assist high school students who otherwise may not have the incentive to stay in school or the opportunity for educational training beyond the high school level. The Congressman felt that well-managed information sharing programs focused on career opportunities would inspire students to 25X1 finish high school and continue on to college. We shared with Congressman Conyers some of our earlier experiences at objected to our efforts to share the Agency's expertise in the area of computer science with their students. The Congressman suggested that we might still be able to do this kind of thing but use a different approach to lay the ground work. The Congressman was receptive to the idea of trying to donate surplus government property to Historically Black Colleges and Universities. He offered assistance in our efforts and will talk with his colleague, Congressman Lewis Stokes, about strategy for advancing the idea. We concluded our formal session with the Congressman with suggestions from him that future meetings are a distinct possibility. We agreed to review our recruitment efforts in the Detroit area and to consider other types of programs.

HPSCI staff, on behalf of Chairman Hamilton, has requested access to evidence showing that Nicaragua supports revolutionary groups in other countries. A combined DI-DO presentation has been arranged, and both finished intelligence and TDs will be shown. We have a very strong case to make. 2. We expect a letter from Chairman Hamilton next week asking for a denial, in writing, that the Agency has had anything to do with breaking into churches in the U.S. which give sanctuary to refugees from Central America. We have already categorically denied this charge to the Staff Director. 3. The draft FY87 Intelligence Authorization Bill is still awaiting OMB action. Although OMB imposed a deadline of yesterday for comments, Justice and DoD have yet to respond. Because of shortened Congressional deadlines this session caused by Gramm-Rudman, it is imperative that OMB approve the bill for passage to our Committees as soon as possible.
