Study

1. Last year the Department of Energy commissioned an
independent study of the Department's intelligence efforts.
The study was led by retired Rear Admiral Sumner Shapiro,
former Director of Naval Intelligence. Admiral Shapiro was
charged with the task of conducting a comprehensive survey of
DOE's intelligence efforts and the Department's support
obligations to the Intelligence Community.
2. Members of my staff were informed of this effort as it
proceeded. The study resulted in several sweeping
recommendations, including the establishment of a Senior
Intelligence Officer, Mr. Robert Walsh. Also of significant
note was a recommendation by the study team that DOE increase
the resources, funds and full-time employees devoted to
intelligence. I totally support these recommendations.

3. We received a letter describing the study effort and
seeking your support for DOE's commitment to assume a more
active role in national intelligence. The letter was from
Deputy Secretary Joseph S. Salgado, who has since left the
Department. , The Senior Intelligence Officer recommends
addressing our answer to Secretary-Designate Watkins, but
delayina the response until he is confirmed--approximately two
weeks.

The Honorable James D. Watkins

Dear Admi
Nirains:
03 1989
Pleas accept my hearty congratulations on your
confirmation as Secretary of Energy.
Former Deputy Secretary Joseph S. Salgado sent me a letter
describing the Department's efforts to review and ultimately
improve'its interface to the Intelligence Community. I applaud
and highly encourage these efforts.
The Department of Energy (DOE) has often played a critical,
role in the intelligence process. DOE's actions seeking an
even greater and more significant role in the Intelligence
Community are welcome and highly supported.
I understand the recommendations of this study are broad
and far-reaching. My staff and the Community stand ready to
assist you as you embark on the sizeable job of implementing
the principal conclusions and recommendations. In particular,
I totally support recommendations for increased intelligence
resources in the DOE program, and the designation of
Mr. Walsh as the Department's Senior Intelligence Officer.
Thank you for informing me of this valuable work. I look
forward to working with you and your team during the coming
years.
Sincerely yours,
William H. Webster
