Meeting Summary
National Drug Intelligence Committee
September 22, 1988
DEA Administrator Jack Lawn, Chairman of the National Drug
Intelligence Committee, convened the meeting at 2:00 p.m. by
welcoming the participants and acknowledging the
contributions of NNBIS Director Howard Gehring who
will be leaving that position for a field command in the
U.S. Coast Guard. Mr. Gehring introduced his replacement,
John Shkor.
The Chairman asked Deborah Meyers to review the status of
the Legal Issues Working Group. With the addition of a
footnote the paper has been accepted by the Working Group,
and Mr. Lawn will be forwarding the report to the National
Drug Policy Board.
The Committee discussed the Chairman's September 1 letter to
the Director of Central Intelligence. This letter requested
that the DCI consider various forms of assistance to the
NDIC agencies and strategies. The Customs representative
and the National Intelligence Officer for Narcotics
expressed concern that the letter had not been reviewed
first by the NDIC Working Group prior to its being sent to
the DCI. Background related to the letter was provided by
of the Intelligence Community Staff
who noted the importance to the anti-drug effort of
specifying needed assistance to the DCI. While the time
constraints for the letter precluded a full review by the
NDIC prior to its being distributed, Mr. Lawn assured the
Committee that the letter was open-ended. The Chairman
encouraged NDIC members to send him additional suggestions
for forwarding to the DCI.
