Late Thursday evening, the Senate passed S. 1271, the FY 1986 Intelligence Authorization Bill. During the attached floor consideration of the bill, the Senate affirmed the decision of the Governmental Operations Committee to drop the Executive Schedule increase for the DCI and DDCI and accepted an amendment from the Armed Services Committee which provides access by the Department of Defense, Central Intellligence Agency and Office of Personnel Management to state and local criminal history records for the purpose of conducting a security background investigation. In addition, the provisions on diplomatic reciprocity and travel limitations of individuals serving in United Nations were dropped from the bill since these provisions already had been enacted as part of other legislation. 3. In another floor amendment, funds available to the FBI for counterterrorism activities were increased by approximately $20 million. In addition, existing provisions providing increased retirement credits for CIA employees serving in unhealthful areas, and expanding the DoD's use of proceeds fror counterintelligence operations were left intact and approved as part of the bill.

During Senate floor consideration of S. 1271, Chairman Durenberger and Vice Chairman Leahy also addressed the subject of Agency funded assistance to the Nicaraguan resistance. Senator Durenberger makes clear in this exchange with Senator Leahy that while the Committee has authorized $28 million to be placed in the Reserve for Contingencies for assistance to the Nicaraguan Resistance, that subsequent Congressional action prohibiting CIA administration of humanitarian aid funds has, in effect, overtaken the SSCI's earlier action and precludes any use of Agency funds inconsistent with the restrictions contained in the 1985 Supplemental Authorization Act. Chairman Durenberger's assurances concerning the use of Agency funds in this regard were considered necessary to prevent a floor amendment from being offered by liberal Democratic Senators that would have established a mandatory cap on assistance to the Nicaraguan resistance. 5. Following Senate approval of the bill, an agreement was reached on the conferees who will represent the Senate in the upcoming Senate/House Conference on the Authorization bill. The conferees for the Senate will be: Senators Durenberger, Cohen, Hatch, Murkowski, Hecht, McConnell, Leahy, Bentsen, Nunn, Boren and Bradley. 6. Since the House passed their version of the authorization bill (H.R. 2419) in July, we expect the conference to take place shortly and are presently preparing a letter for the DCI's signature to the conferees that will represent the Agency's position on various aspects of both the House and Senate bills.

SENATE September 26, 1985 classified and are excluded from this cost es- timate. Section 105 authorizes $21.4 million for the construction of a research and engineer- ing facility at Fort Meade. Maryland for the National Security Agency. Section 201 authorizes $22.3 million for the Intelligence Community staff. This amount provides for 233 full-time personnel as of September 30. 1986. Section 301 provides $101.4 million for the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability Fund. Section 601 authorizes the Secretary of Defense to use the proceeds of counterintel- ligence operations conducted by components of the Military Departments to offset neces- sary and reasonable expenses incurred in such operations. Surplus funds are to be de- posited in the Treasury as miscellaneous re- ceipts. The amounts involved in this provi- sion are classified and are excluded from this cost estimate. Section 602 authorizes the Director of Central Intelligence to establish a list of posts deemed unhealthful. Personnel would receive one and one half years credit toward retirement for each year served in such a post. Because the number of posts deter- mined to be unhealthful and the number of personnel affected by such a determination are not known, it is not possible to estimate the budgetry impact of this provision. The bill includes other provisions that do not have significant budgetary impacts. 6. Estimated cost to state and local gov- ernments.?None. ? 7. Estimate comparison.?None. 8.

Mr. President, I compli- ment the distinguished chairman of the committee for his remarks. We have done something different this year than I have seen in the slightly over 5 years that I have served on the Intelligence Committee: that is to handle the budget at the full commit- tee rather than the subcommittee level. Having served at both levels, I think there had been distinct advan- tages to allowing all members of the Intelligence Committee involved in the budget process. With the complement of new members on both sides of the aisle, hallowed members to have a better idea of what is in often a very complex and, of course, very secret budget. I think the only way one fully understands what goes in the intelli- gence community is by analysis of the budget. As the Intelligence Committee has found, no matter how well-inten- tioned all of us are, often the only real oversight control we have is through the budget process. So it was a good experiment to try this year. I think it is one that should be continued for the next fiscal year. I am most pleased with the committees activism in the area of terrorism. It is one that I have encouraged for years. As recent events have shown us, ter- rorist activity throughout the world contitutes one of the major, If not the major, nonnuclear threats to the secu- rity of the United States and to our in- terests worldwide as well as to our do- mestic security. I believe this legislation takes very affirmative action to address the threat posed by terrorism. Mr. President, I yield to the distin- guished chairman of the committee. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is now on agreeing to the amendment. The amendment (No. 711) was agreed to. Mr. DURENBERGER. Mr. Presi- dent. I move to reconsider the vote by which the amendments was agreed to. Mr. LEAHY. I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table was agreed to.

Mr. Presi- dent, I send an amendment to the desk on behalf of the Senator from Wyo- ming [Mr. &mews] and ask for its im- mediate consideration. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The amendment will be stated. The assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Minnesota [Mr. DUREN- BERGER). for Mr. Simpson, proposes an amendment numbered 713. Mr. DURENBERGER. Mr. Presi- dent, I ask unanimous consent that further reading of the amendment be dispensed with. The PRESIDING OFFICER. With- out objection, it is so ordered. The amendment is as follows: On page 8, beginning on line 12, strike out -fifteen" and all that follows through "In- telligence" on line 15 and insert in lieu thereof the following: "Ten. The Director of Central Intelligence shall notify the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Commit- tee on the Judiciary of the Senate and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelli- gence and the Committee on the Judiciary". Mr. DURENBERGER. Mr. Presi- dent, the purpose of this amendment very simply is to require notification of the Judiciary Committees that cer- tain naturalization requirements do not apply to certain aliens because of the extraordinary contributions to U.S. national security. It is a very ap- propriate amendment on behalf of our colleague from Wyoming, who is also chairman of the Immigration and Nat- uralization Subcommittee of Judici- ary. He spotted an oversight on the part of the committee, and I highly recommend its adoption. Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I thor- oughly concur with the statement of the Senator from Minnesota and also urge adoption of this amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amend- ment.

I send an amendment to the desk on behalf of the Senator from Texas (Mr. BENT- SEN), for himself, Mr. DURENBERGER, myself, and other Senators listed on the amendment and ask for its imme- diate consideration.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that further read- ing of the amendment be dispensed with. The PRESIDING OFFICER. With- out objection, it is so ordered. The amendment is as follows: At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following: Sac. . (a) There are authorized to be ap- propriated for fiscal year 1986, $59.539.000 for the Federal Bureau of Investigation to carry out the counterterrorism activities. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Federal Bureau of Investigation may purchase for fiscal year 1986, an addi- tional 40 vehicles to be used in counterter- rorist activities. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Attorney General may make payments in advance for expenses arising out of contractual and reimbursable agree- ments with State and local law enforcement agencies while engaged in cooperative activi- ties related to terrorism. Mr. BENTSEN. Mr. President, it has been 3 months now since the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 and the execution of Navy diver Robert Stethem by Middle Eastern terrorists. As the cir- cumstances surrounding this tragic event lose their sharp edge in our col- lective memory, it would be all too easy for us to lapse into complacency and to ignore the growing potential for terrorist activities here in the United States. Ignoring the reality of terrorism, however, would be exceedingly short- sighted. We are fortunate that terror- ist activity in this country has not risen to the heights that it reaches routinely elsewhere in the world, but we cannot assume that it will remain at a reduced level. Indeed, on a world- wide basis the number of terrorist inci- dents is increasing steadily. And for the past few years over 40 percent of these incidents have been directed against the U.S. Government or U.S. citizens or their property. Nor are internationl terrorists the only threat we face.

The committee moved the $28 mil- lion requested for Nicaraguan para- military to the reserve, to be spent only for humanitarian assistance to the so-called Nicaraguan democratic resistance. in an amount and in a manner consistent with congressional action on this issue. Because congres- sional action has proscribed CIA and DOD administration of the humani- tarian aid funds?all of it in the sepa- rate authorization. as I indicated?the Intelligence Committee's action, in effect, has been overtaken by events. I say to my colleague and the others, particularly on his side of the aisle, who have expressed a concern about this issue, that he is correct in his characterization of our authority. Mr. LEAHY. With that assurance, Mr. President?and it is also my under- standing?I have been told by the Sen- ators who have a concern about this that they do not intend to bring up another amendment and thus revisit something that has been voted on. The Senators who raised the point have been on the losing side before, and they realize that the vote would be the same if held again. I think they realize that the Intelligence Commit- tee handled this matter in a straight- forward fashion. It is clear we in the committee watch how and where the money is spent; to be certain it is done so in a manner prescribed by the law. With that assurance, I assure the chairman that there will not be amendments .on this side on this matter. Mr. DURENBERGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. President, I ask for third read- ing of S. 1271. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill is open to further amendment. If there be no further amendment to be proposed, the question is on the en- grossment and third reading of the bill.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the present consid- eration of the bill? There being no objection,. the Senate proceeded to consider the bill. Mr. DURENBERGER. Mr. Presi- dent. I move to strike all after the en- acting clause of H.R. 2419 and substi- tute in lieu thereof the text of S. 1271, as amended. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the motion of the Senator from Minnesota. The motion was agreed to. The PRESIDING OFFICER.
