Helgerson Director of Congressional Affairs SUBJECT: Weekly Report 1. Intelligence Oversight Legislation: We are informed that the House will take up the Intelligence Oversight Act of 1988 during the middle of next week. We still anticipate that bill will pass with less than a 2/3 margin necessary to override the expected Presidential veto. There is little chance that Republicans will succeed in their attempt to water down the requirement in the bill to notify Congress of covert actions, without exception, within 48 hours of a Finding. 2. War Powers Resolution: A special subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee continues to hold hearings on legislation that would amend the War Powers Act. One of the most significant-features of this legislation is the creation of a "Permanent Consultative Group" of leading Members to serve as the focus of consultation required under the War Powers Act. The State Department Legal Advisor will testify against the bill next week. Although there might be an effort to bring the bill to the Senate floor before the end of Session, there is probably not sufficient time left for Congress to complete work on such a major piece of legislation. 3. Omnibus, Anti-Drug Legislation - House Action: The House is in the midst of floor consideration of the omnibus, anti-drug-bill-. We are working with the Administration to defeat the Alexander "Anti-Stonewalling" amendment. We are also watching closely which "drug czar" amendment the House adopts. Both are now expected to come to a vote on r 125X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 STAT 4. Omnibus, Anti-Drug Legislation - Senate Action: The Senate leadership, after receiving a letter from the DCI, directed the Senate Intelligence Committee to provide language protecting the DCI's budget equities vis-a-vis the new drug czar to Senate leadership staff drafting the Senate bipartisan anti-drug bill. That staff had already included language protecting the DCI's intelligence information-sharing equities vis-a-vis the new czar. We worked with Senate Intelligence Committee staff in drafting the budget language. Although not as expansive as similar language in current law, it represents a recognition of our concerns in this area and provides something on which we can build later in the legislative process. On 9 September, the final staff draft will be introduced by Senators Byrd and Dole and taken up by the Senate the following week.. 5. Intelligence Authorization Bill: The Department of Justice is preparing to send a letter to Senator Boren expressing its belief that the Inspector General provision in the bill is unconstitutional and threatening a veto of the bill should the provision not be changed. Justice is concerned that the requirement to disclose Inspector General recommendations impermissibly interferes with the President's control over the deliberative processes of the Executive branch. We have told the Office of Management and Budget verbally that we oppose a veto and we are sending them a letter stating the same. We met previously with Justice and White House officials to explain the arduous process by which we and the Members agreed to this provision, which represents a compromise with respect to the original intent expressed by Senator Specter. The conference report has already been filed and the Justice letter can only serve to anger certain Members and, as a result, open the Agency to having a full-fledged statutory Inspector General under the 1978 act. It remains unclear as to whether Justice will send a letter placing its views on the record formally without recommending a veto. 6. South Africa Sanctions Bill: The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is meeting this week to mark up its version of the South Africa sanctions bill. The bill, introduced by Senator Cranston on 7 September, is basicall the House- assed bill with a few changes. \It is uncertain whether there are enough votes to report out the bill, which is currently scheduled for a committee vote on 14 September. e g rson Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 25X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Next 1 Page(s) In Document Denied Iq Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 25X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Next 1 Page(s) In Document Denied Iq Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 NEGATIVE WEEKLY FOR IG Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 25X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 50X1-HUM Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Next 1 Page(s) In Document Denied Iq Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/10: CIA-RDP90G01353R002100020002-9 Subject: DS&T Weekly Activities for 9 September 1988 6E60 Hqs 9 September 1988 From: R.
