Draft F.-7 1989 Intelligence Authorization Bill
Title V of the Draft FY 1989 Intelligence Authorization Bill
gontains proposed legislation to authorize the Secretary of
Defense to establish 'Commercial entities to provide cover for
certairf-DOD?f-dfe-ign intelligence collection activities.
-
The Administration's position on such legislation is as stated in
the President's 1988 Legislative Message to the Congress and,
more specifically, in the Deputy Secretary of--Defense-'s -letter of
December 1, 1987 expressing the Administration's -views-on-H.R.
_
Title V of the Draft Bill should be revised to consist of the
text of H.R. 3150 as modified by the changes requested in the
Deputy Secretary's letter of December 1. That letter advised
that enactment of H.R. 3150 as so modified is in accord with the
President's program.
By letter of February 1 to Jim Miller, Assistant Attorney General
for Legislative Affairs John Bolton advised that the Department
of Justice would like Title V of the Draft Bill changed to
recognize explicitly FBI pre-eminence in certain intelligence
activities within the United States. Substitution of H.R. 3150
with the Administration modifications for Title V of the Draft
Bill satisfies that concern, as the language proposed by the
Department of Justice is one of the Administration modifications
set forth in the December 1 letter.
Copies of the December 1 letter of the Secretary of Defense and
the February 1 letter of Assistant Attorney General Bolton are
attached.
