The Foreign Technology Division, for example, identified rapid improvements in Soviet weapons technology. 'Further, Air Force z " elements),.provided national decision makers with information vital to nuclear treaty monitoring. [The Air Force has alsciimade a concerted effort to improve the interface between operations and intelligence within the Air Force and the Depart- s...; ment of Defense Among other things, these initiatives have included"rgreatly expanded support to electromagnetic combat and the development of a concept for integrated application of near real-time, all source intelligence to directly support air combat operations. ?In addition, the Air Force Intelligence Service established a Soviet Awareness Program which has been presented to over 100,000 personnel at some 200 bases worldwide, to educate Air Force members to Soviet military doctrine, strategy, force structure, and combat employment.

This memorandum provides the Marine Corps response to your request forwarded by reference (a). 2. Obtaining observer status on the National Foreign Intelligence Board, as recommended by the Director, Defense Intelligence Agency, and approved by the Director of Central Intelligence, was the signal accomplishment for Marine Corps intelligence during the past four years. Marine Corps participation in NFIB activi- ties subsequently contributed to increased National Foreign Intelli- gence Program support to operational commanders which, from the perspective of this Headquarters, was the major accomplishment of the Intelligence Community during the period. This increased support has been manifested in various forms, several of which are described below: a. Increased availability and capability of national intelli- gence systems to support operational commanders. The inclusion in the NFIP decision process of Service impact statements on proposed national intelligence systems, as directed by Congress, ensures consideration of the intelligence requirements of operational commanders. b. Specific attention of the Intelligence Community Staff to the needs of operational commanders, as reflected in the CY 1980 study on NFIP Support to Contingency Forces. c. Participation of an Intelligence Community Staff member in the annual development of the DoD Plan for Intelligence Support to Operational Commanders. d. Intelligence Community Staff support to Service TENCAP (Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities) Programs. e. Increased awareness of, and NFIP resources devoted to, Third World intelligence gaps. 3. The Marine Corps obtained significant benefits from the creation of the Tactical Cryptologic Program (TCP), which gave necessary visibility to tactical resources and permitted them to compete more effectively in the PPBS process. Further contri- buting to improved tactical cryptologic capabilities was the in- ternal NSA reorganization which created a Tactical Resource Man- agement Structure. These actions, both of which will ultimately Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 Subj: Report for the Administration (U) improve cryptologic support to operational commanders, are considered positive and significant accomplishments of the Intelligence Community. 4. In summary, the Marine Corps commends the Intelligence Community for significant accomplishments in improving national intelligence support to operational commanders and expresses sincere appreciation for your support for these initiatives and for Marine Corps participation on the National Foreign Intelligence Board.

Administrative procedures for controlling and adjudicating access to compartmented intelligence have been greatly improved, and major progress made in Navy security education and manage- ment programs. Counterespionage operations by the Naval In?eStigatjve Service and FBI resulted in: (1) the arrest, trial, and conviction for espionage of two Soviet U.N. employees (ENGER and CHERNYAYEV) and expulsion of a third Soviet; and (2) the arrest, trial, and imprisonment of a USN enlisted man (MADSEN) for espionage. Major strides have occurred in providing intelligence support, including data derived from national systems, to Navy operating forces. Increased cooperation has also occurred with other Service reconnaissance elements and foreign intelligence services. Major upgrades were made in Navy's automated intelligence processing systems (NIPS) for tactical users in forward areas, including future support for the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force. Upgrades include improved hardware for imagery interpretation and processing and communications systems for battle group commanders in such areas as the Indian Occan. Navy's Integrated Automated Intelligence Processing System (IAIPS) now under development will offer major efficiencies in providing intelli- gence support to all consumers, national and tactical. To improve maritime intelligence, particularly in Third World areas, a series of bilateral intelligence agreements with selected foreign navies have been initiated, and others are being aggressively pursued, which involve extensive data exchanges and hardware support. Consequently, major gaps in intelligence data bases are being reduced. New procedures have been developed for providing all-source indications and warning data to tactical forces as well as national command authority. Unique data bases on worldwide merchant and fishing fleets, including major improvements in daily locational reporting and on arms deliveries to Third World Enclosure (1) to CNO memo ser 009Z/S325 of 2 Dec 1980 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 nations, also have been developed. The significant potential threat to USN forces posed by Third World nations supplied with sophisticated weaponry has resulted in a new analytical and production effort. SUPPORT TO RDT&E Specialized procedures developed within Naval Intelli- gence for providing threat support to the weapon systems planning and acquisition community have made major resource savings available, in excess of $750M to Navy program managers and sponsors, and have been recognized by award of an Intelligence Community Meritorious Unit Citation to an element of the Naval Intelligence Support Center.

In one case, with the cooperation of the Spanish government, GRU Brigadier General SVESHNIKOV was expelled from Spain with considerable adverse publicity. In April 1979, a five-year, joint NIS-FBI operation resulted in the return to the USSR of a Soviet intelligence officer and h family Currently, NIS has 59 active CE operations underway and 128 in the develop- ment stage which have produced extensive data, shared with other CE agencies, on Soviet, Polish, PRC, and Bloc military intelligence priorities, activities, and methods. (S) To identify the security vulnerability of U.S. ports to visits by Bloc merchant and public vessels, a major port survey effort was conducted of 120 areas, which resulted in closure by the NSC of several ports to Bloc shipping. In a related counterintelligence effort, during Operation COAST WATCH conducted during November 1978 each Soviet merchantman with Long Beach, California or New York City as first U.S. port of call was boarded and searched by an augmented Coast Guard team to identify its intelligence collection capabilities. SUPPORT TO USN OPERATIONS (S) An intense, concurrent RDT&E program funded through the NFIP to improve submarine SIGINT capabilities (PRAIRIE WAGON) succeeded in 1979 in the first operational deployment of a significantly enhanced and sophisticated system aboard US nuclear attack submarines. Additional systems are being procured. (S) Navy's worldwide, all-flag merchant and fishing fleet tracking system now includes over 39K ships and has provided unique intelligence, unavailable elsewhere, on types and quantities of arms deliveries, Cuban troop deployment to Ethiopia, shipping in the Persian Gulf, compliance with the U.S. grain embargo, CLASSIFIED BY OP-009 REVIEW ON SECRET Enclosure (2) to CNO memo ser 009Z/S325 of 2 Dec 1980 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 and drug smuggling. Highly specialized and innovative analytical efforts by Naval Intelligence elements have resulted in major improvements in U.S. abilities to predict Soviet ballistic missile submarine deployments, plus data on Soviet naval readiness and military equipment deliveries to other nations, merchant and special interest ship activities, and the ability of the Soviet Navy to mount and sustain extended opera- tions distant from Soviet territory. The latter ability has proven critical during the current hostilities along the Persian Gulf. (S) Specialized threat intelligence support to Navy's weapon system planning and acquisition community has made great strides in recent years. Innovative procedures developed by the Naval Intelligence Support Center have pioneered foreign maritime threat projection efforts and made major contributions to ensuring the long term effectiveness and survivability of USN systems. For example, data developed on Soviet submarines resulted in re- structuring of Navy's Propelled Ascending Mine Program, as well as modification to the target acquisition and exploder systems of the Mark 48 Torpedo. Similar information on Soviet naval air defense systems resulted in modifications to the HARPOON antiship cruise missile flight trajectory to enhance surviva- bility. NISC's threat intelligence support has been credited with saving the Navy more than $750 million.

This is in reply to your memorandum for NFIB Principals, dated 18 November 1980, subject as above. 2. A summary of unclassified major Army intelligence accomplishments during the 1977 through present period of President Carter's administra- tion are described below. This summary is not all inclusive and in- cludes only those accomplishments which may be discussed at the unclassi- fied level and are deemed of such significance that they merit mention at the national level. \.. In. 1974 the Army began a broad study of its intelligence activities known as the Intelligence Organization and Stationing Study (IOSS). Many of its recommendations were approved in 1976 with imple- mentation in 1976, 1977, and continuing through 1983. These were of far-reaching significance. Some of the highlights are: (1) 'Placing tactical intelligence units directly under the authority of Army commanders instead of being attached to tactical units from larger Military Intelligence (MI) organizations. (2) Establishment of the US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) on 1 January 1977 to provide command and control of intelligence units above the corps level. (3) Organization of combat electronic warfare intelligence (CEWI) battalions at the division level and CEWI groups at the corps level. b. As mentioned above, one of the more far-reaching results of the Intelligence Organization and Stationing Study was the development of fully integrated combat electronic warfare and intelligence battalions and groups to support divisions and corps. The first such unit, the 522d Military Intelligence Battalion (Division) was organized and, tested at Fort Hood, Texas.

The new consolidated units are more responsive to field commanders, easier to command and control, and able to provide concentrated collection, production, and dissemination of intelligence by having access to other defense and civilian intelligence sources. c. Army accomplishments during the period were also highlighted by major innovations in the field of intelligence training. In 1979 the Tactical Intelligence Readiness Training (REDTRAIN) Program was estab- lished with the objective of achieving and maintaining readiness of Army tactical intelligence personnel and units. REDTRAIN is the appli- cation of all operational and training techniques necessary to preclude the erosion of highly technical and perishable skills gained during institutional or other training. As initially conceived and implemented, REDTRAIN was concerned with tactical Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) but has been revised to include the other intelligence disciplines, Human Intelligence (HUMINT) and Imagery Intelligence (IMINT). REDTRAIN has had a favorable impact not only on skills development and maintenance but also on job satisfaction and soldier retention. d. Additionally, in late 1976 the Chief of Staff, US Army, approved the establishment of the Opposing Force (OPFOR) Program. Implementation of OPFOR began in 1977 and continues as one of the significant accomplish- ments of the past four years. It is an Army-wide training program which focuses peacetime preparedness training on the tactical vulnerabilities of potential adversaries mainly at the division level and below. OPFOR is designed to provide commanders with a training mechanism for empha- sizing the competition inherent in battle through use of a realistic and credible opposing force, using the doctrine, tactics, and weapons systems of actual potential adversaries. e. Organization and training were not the only areas of Army accom- plishment. In an ever increasing world of automation, Army intelligence insured that automated support, and automation security procedures were available Army wide. The Army System for Standard Intelligence Support Terminals (ASSIST) was actually inaugurated in 1973 to modernize and improve intelligence data handling systems (IDHS). This involved the standardization of both computer hard- and software, internetting com- puters, providing access to national intelligence data bases, and achie- ving compatibility between Army and DOD computerized command and control systems. These improvements were to be made over several years. However, a major milestone was attained in FY 1978 when system software was in- stalled at Army and Army-supported IDHS sites worldwide. This action provided the US Army, Europe (USAREUR), and the US Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) intelligence analysts common software for exchanging data, analyst-to-analyst communications, and full time access to the central host computers at Headquarters, US European Command (EUCOM). In FY 1.979- 80 linkage with the computer systems of the Defense Intelligence Agency Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 v t. ?i L c 13J~1 DAMI-RMB-M SUBJECT: Report for the Administration (DIA) was achieved. The enhancement of the Army's intelligence data handling capabilities through ASSIST represents a significant accom- plishment of great value to the Army, the Department of Defense, and the national interest. f. On the security side of automation, a formal Army automation security program was developed and approved for Army wide implementation in 1977. This program is intended to ensure that all sensitive defense information handled by automated systems is protected against espionage, sabotage, fraud, misappropriation, misuse, or inadvertent or deliberate compromise. g. Finally, Army analysts also contributed to national level sub- stantive intelligence issues which had direct effects on the national foreign intelligence policymaking process and decisions that were pro- mulgated at the highest levels. Two cases in point were Army intelli- gence analytical efforts which uncovered major changes in North Korean troop levels and dispositions and Army research and analysis which, along with other intelligence community inputs identified and clarified the purpose of Soviet combat forces in Cuba. These were only two of the many national level contributions of Army intelligence production; however, they serve here to show that Army's intelligence efforts during the period were oriented equally at support for the soldier in the field and aid to the decision and policymakers of the nation. Army intelligence accomplishments for 1977-1980 were many. What has been described above and in the inclosure only serves to show that the period was marked by national level successes by Army intelligence.

The items high- lighted in this report are those considered to be of national level interest. and by no means represent the sum of accomplishments significant to the Army. a. (S) During the past four years, the Army's vigorous Tactical Exploitation of National Space Capabilities (TENCAP) Program has made a significant contri- bution in the National/Tactical interface arena. The ultimate objective of TENCAP is to exploit the tactical potential of pertinent current and future assets of our national space programs. To that end, the Army has expeditiously fielded interface equipment and demonstrated the utility and effectiveness of this exploitation through exercises and JCS sanctioned special projects such as GRAVITY SCORE and POST OAKS I & II.

(S/NOFORN) The Carter Administration's decision to accept Cuban boat refugees in the Spring of 1980 facilitated US intelligence collection efforts on Cuba. Refugees were debriefed to provide, among other things, order of battle on Cuban forces, the Soviet presence in Cuba, and related military infor- mation. The debriefings were a closely coordinated effort between the FBI, CIA, Army and Air Force teams assigned to the five Cuban refugee processing centers. They provided significant reporting of a first-time, unique nature which had a substantial impact on activities of the DOD Cuban Task Force. (Classified by: DIAM 58-11. Review on: 25 Nov 2000.

Under Executive Order 12036, the Attorney General is a member of the National Security Council's Policy. Review and Special Coordination Committees and the Department is represented on the National Foreign Intelligence Board. Attorneys from the Department played substantial roles in the drafting of Executive Order 12036 and the PRM/NSC-11 studies that preceded that Order. Department representatives were also called upon to contribute heavily to the development of Executive Order 12065, entitled "National Security Information" and governing the handling and processing of classified information, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, authorizing electronic surveillance for intelligence purposes in the U.S., and the consideration and negotiations concerning the proposed National Intelligence charter legislation. The latter effort, involving representatives of the intelligence agencies as well as the White House and the Justice Department, culminated in the Intelligence Authorization Act of 1980. Provisions of that Act amended the Hughes-Ryan Amendment so as to narrow the required reporting of covert action findings to only two committees of Congress instead of eight and to pre- serve the. existing balance between the Executive and the Congress in the area of Congressional oversight and access to intelligence information. In addition, the Department was primarily responsi- ble for the enactment of new legislation to protect the Government and national security information from "Greymail a term that was apparently first coined by former CIA Deputy General Counsel John Morrison - whereby defendants in criminal proceedings would use the threat of disclosure of classified materials to evade prosecution.

The Department also helped develop and t significant amendments to the Freedom would serve to alleviate the burdens imposed on the intelligence agencies by that statute. Although the underlying circumstances were unfortunate, , with it should also be noted that thrsoalnumbereof cases the assistance of the various general counsels, of extreme significance to the Intelligence Community during the past four years. Among the successful espionage, prosecutions were the Dedeyan, Moore, Boyce-Lee, Kampiles and Truong-.Humphrey Government were cases. Additional successes forthe in the Rogalsky, Enger Cherny y , The Department also achieved success in civil actions affecting and preserving the integrity of intelligence pre-publication review agreements in the Snep , Stockwell and Agee cases, and defended the agencies' interests in a host of other civil actions and FOIA cases. OFFICE OF INTELLIGENCE POLICY AND REVIEW It became increasingly apparent in early 1979 that, while the involvement of the Attorney General and the Department in intelligence activities and national security affairs was growing, no organization with the Department was well suited in terms of expertise, experience, continuity and function to assist the Attorney General in performing the broad range of responsibilities and functions that were spread at that time between personnel in the Attorney General's Office, the Office of Legal Counsel and, to a lesser degree, the Civil and Criminal Divisions of the Department. After considering a variety of options, it was determined that a new component was required, headed by a senior official reporting directly to the Attorney General and staffed with attorneys devoted entirely to the study and resolution of the legal and policy issues that arise in this area. Accordingly, Attorney General Bell, in April 1979, appointed the first Counsel for Intelligence Policy and directed the establishment of the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review. In the interim, many of the functions that were to be assigned to the new Office began to be performed by personnel in the Office of Legal Counsel and the Investigation Review Unit which had been engaged in the review of certain Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 intelligence activities for the previous several years. In February 1980 Attorney General Civiletti signed a DOJ Order establishing the new Office, consisting of ten attorney and four secretarial positions and absorbing the Investigation Review Unit. In addition, the centralization of the Department's intelligence-related functions continued. Personnel were recruited during 1980 and the Office reached full strength for the first time in November 1980. The Office serves as the principal legal adviser on intelligence matters to the Attorney General, Deputy and Associate Attorneys General, other Departmental components and other agencies in the Executive Branch concerning the development, interpretation and application of statutes, Executive Orders, regulations, procedures and other directives and guidelines relating to U.S. intelligence activities. The Office also represents the Attorney General on the National Foreign Intelligence Board. During the past year, the Counsel and other members of the Office represented the Attorney General and the Department on a large number of other boards, committees, subcommittees and working groups dealing with various types and facets of issues relating to intelligence activities, including the Interagency Coordinating Committee for U.S.-Soviet Affairs, the DCI Committee on Exchanges, the NSC Ad Hoc Technology Transfer Group, the Intelligence Charter Legislation Working Group and the NSC/SCC Counterintelligence Working.Group. Executive Order 12036 requires that the intelligence agencies promulgate, and the Attorney General approve, over thirty separate procedures and guidelines to regulate various intelligence-related activities of the FBI, NSA, CIA, DoD and Treasury. In 1980, the last of these procedures was promulgated and approved, and a lengthy process of review, reevaluation and revision of the majority of these procedures and guidelines was initiated and will be substantially completed by the end of 1980. The Office participated in. extensive discussions between and among representatives of the Executive and Legislative Branches concerning the nature and content of a proposed legis- lative charter for the intelligence community. This participation included interpretation, coordination, drafting and analysis of existing and proposed policy and statutory standards. Additional efforts were made by the Office in connection with the development of DOJ positions regarding amendments proposed to the Freedom of Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 Information Act by the intelligence agencies and the proposed enactment of a new criminal statute to bar the revelation of undercover U.S. intelligence officials. During the past year, the Office has rendered numerous formal and informal opinions for various Executive branch officials and has provided the Attorney General and other senior Justice officials with a large number of policy papers and recommendations. The Office has been involved in several initiatives to increase the coordination and flow of information between and among the intelligence agencies and other agencies of the Federal Government. The Office has provided legal and policy advice on various intelligence-related matters, including issues and options, during the past year to the Attorney General, the Special Coordination Committee of the NSC, the State Department, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Commerce Department, the FBI, the NSA, the CIA, the DoD, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, the-Office of the DCI, the Treasury Department, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and various components in the Justice Department. In the area of intelligence operations the Office's accomplishments primarily involve implementation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. Due to the time required for members of the court to be appointed, and to make the administrative arrangements to support the Court, implementation of the Act did not occur until May, 1979. During the 1978-79 transition period the Office created an entirely new series of forms for applications under the Act, as well as special procedures to minimize electronic surveillance, and associated legal papers. New administrative procedures were developed by which applications for electronic surveillance could be considered by the Attorney General to obtain his authorization for filing. Security procedures issued by the Attorney General and the Director of Central Intelligence to protect Court orders for electronic surveillance were prepared for issuance to communication common carriers. Office attorneys also participated in the drafting of security procedures for the Court which were promulgated by the Chief Justice of the United.States. The Office is now part of the inter-departmental task force drafting procedures for the protection of classified information in the custody of federal courts pursuant to the Classified Information Procedures Act of 1980. In a few instances, the Office brought applications to the Court for the exercise of its inherent authority to approve physical searches for intelligence purposes. A legal memorandum also was developed by the Office for the Director of the FBI Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/05/27: CIA-RDP05T00644R000601780002-1 explaining the legal basis for this exercise of jurisdiction. This memorandum has been the subject of some discussion between the Department, the Congress, and the FISA Court. A substantial number of FBI requests to conduct undercover activities in counterintelligence cases were reviewed as required by the Department of Justice Appropriation Acts for FY 79 and FY 80. Recommendations for Attorney General approval of these operations were developed by OIP&R in appropriate cases. In addition, a substantial number of other counterintelligence activities were considered by the Office and appropriate recommendations furnished to the Attorney. General. The Office also reviewed, and approved, modified, or disapproved a substantial number of FBI foreign counterintelligence activities for which the Attorney General has delegated approval authority to OIP&R. Finally, as part of its oversight responsibilities, OIPR attorneys conducted field evaluations in 1979 and 1980 for the Attorney General concerning implementation of the minimization procedures governing electronic surveillance in foreign intelligence and counterintelligence cases. This study involved trips to field facilities, interviews of operational personnel and review of surveillance logs. In addition, the Office participated in a 1979 study by the Deputy Attorney General regarding the guidelines for Drug Enforcement Administration domestic investigations. The study involved visits to some 10 major DEA field offices and interviews and file reviews pertinent to guidelines compliance.

This is reflected in NIE 4-1-78, which moves away from the minimum-warning, standing-start appre- ciation to a more balanced recognition of what the USSR would have to do to prepare for an initiation of hostilities and of the political conditions that. would precede such an event. (S) --A tighter focusing of the intelligence community on the world arms trade, including efforts to develop realistic measures of comparison between major producers, is another important contribution of the Community. (C) --The Community has done a good job in recognizing and surfacing as a policy issue the Soviet-backed use of chemical warfare in Afghanistan and Southeast Asia.

(U) Africa INR has been heavily tasked over the last four years to provide in-depth analytical support to policymakers on African issues. INR's efforts have focused on several thorny problems, including: --Rhodesia, where INR analyzed negotiating strategies, the military and political situation on the ground, the role of the various external parties, and the prospects for the negotiations; --South Africa, where INR gave special attention to Pre- toria's regional role, the government's intentions with respect to the separate development policy,'and nuclear policy; --The Horn of Africa, where INR has devoted special attention to the military situation in the Ogaden and Eritrea, the Soviet-Cuban presence, the outlook for Ethiopian-Somali relations, and the implications for regional issues. (S) Economic Issues --INR, during the last four years, has acted to ensure its ability to respond to the needs of the policymakers for current analyses. Early in this period, INR moved to improve its expertise in the energy field. The result has been a con- tinuing flow of analyses and forecasts of high quality that were of considerable use to policymakers. Indeed, INR probably now has the best continuity of energy expertise in the Depart- ment. (U) --Over the same period, INR has improved its econometric capa- bilities, making extensive use of the global Link model and other econometric systems for simulations of economic con- tingencies.

Webster, Director Subject: REPORT FOR THE ADMINISTRATION Reference is made to your letter of November 18, 1980, requesting significant FBI accomplishments during this Administration's term of office. During this period, the FBI, recognizing the need to upgrade its research and analysis capability, has taken significant steps to improve the production and dissemination of foreign intelligence, counterintelligence, and counterintelligence studies and reports. In addition to the employment of professional Intelligence Research Specialists (IRSs), the FBI developed a computerized Intelligence Information System (IIS) insuring retrieval of necessary research data. These steps have enhanced the FBI's counterintelligence analytical capability. As a further step, the FBI has recently established a positive intelligence production element to provide other U.S. Government agencies positive foreign intelligence collected as a by-product of our counterintelligence activities. Before and during this period, disagreement between the FBI and the U.S. Department of State (USDS) on the question of visa denial based on association with a hostile intelligence service existed and, at times, seemed inherent to the work of each agency. A system for arbitrating disagreement between the FBI and USDS on visa issuance was initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice, and developed by USDS and the FBI over several months during the Fall of 1978. The system of arbitration established by this committee and its operation during the past year is satisfactory from the FBI standpoint.

If the available information indicates that the applicant presents a serious threat as described in paragraphs 27 or 29, then an objection to issuance will be raised. At the request of the National Security Council (NSC) the INTD has worked quite closely with the Department of Justice and the Export Control Community examining ways to improve export control enforcement. The FBI actively participated in an ad hoc interdepartment working group which reported its findings to the NSC ad hoc Technology Transfer Group on means to improve compliance with export control laws. These efforts over the past two years have led to improved coordination among agencies involved in this area.

Following is the information we spoke about for inclusion in Admiral Turner's submission to th.e President. Using zero-based budgeting, the DCI in this Administration was able for the first time to submit a consolidated National Foreign Intelligence Program and Budget which expressed Intelligence Community needs in priority order. By introducing a sense of priority to the process, ZBB helped the DCI to manage more effectively a decentralized budget process. Here- tofore, the intelligence budget had contained only program totals and explanations of selected issues. The new method not only makes it possible for the DCI to produce a more rational, more coherent, and more efficient program and budget for the Intelligence Community, but it also makes it possible to defend more effectively the intelligence budget that the President proposes to the Congress. 2.
