Your presentation to the September 19 World Affairs Council Meeting in
San Francisco was one of my most enjoyable.
I recall when you took over the helm of the FBI from your predecessor,
you truly regained the public's confidence and trust in that organization's
integrity, the "I" in the FBI, if you will. I feel you are the one to do the
same with your new organization.
I hope you have had time to look over the materials I gave you at the
World Affairs Council Meeting on the California Clearinghouse on the Future.
There are some other materials I will send you shortly. I believe the
Clearinghouse concept could be a useful method for your organization.
I hope to later provide models tailored to specific organizations, espec-
ially those relevant to technology management. Perhaps on one of my future
visits to the Washington area, I can again speak with you or one of your
representatives.

You are scheduled to address students, faculty, and members of the
community at the Trinity University Distinguished Lecture Series on
4 October -- a 30-minute address to about 3,000 people, followed by 20 minutes
of questions and answers. Your proposed remarks are attached.
The remarks incorporate your desire to discuss both the what and the how
of intelligence. In your opening remarks, you quote William Randolph Hearst,
who sent the following telegram to one of his reporters: "Send all the juicy
details. Never mind the facts." You continue by saying, "Tonight I want to
give you both the facts and some aetails about the Central Intelligence Agency
and how we do our job of supporting U.S. foreign policy and promoting our
national security."
You briefly discuss the Soviet Union, which will continue to be our
primary intelligence target. You then focus on the work the Intelligence
Community does on terrorism and narcotics. Your remarks on terrorism are
similar to those you made to the American Bar Association in Toronto.
Information for the narcotics section was provided by Bill Kotapish, NIO for
Counternarcotics. Both Dave Gries and Bill Kotapish coordinated on the final
draft.
In your remarks, you briefly describe the evolving nature of the terrorist
threat and then discuss the Intelligence Community's counterterrorism
efforts. Because international terrorism is a continuing and unpredictable
threat, you state that the issue will remain a priority intelligence topic.
Narcotics presents a related threat to our..national security, due in part
to the collaboration between international terrorists and drug traffickers.
You briefly mention the impact of narcotics abuse in our own country ana point
to the growing dimensions of the problem internationally. You explain the
Intelligence Community's role in fighting drugs, giving several examples of
the tactical intelligence we provide to law enforcement agencies and the
strategic intelligence we provide to support a broader drug-control strategy.

SEC kET
Following your discussion of terrorism and narcotics, you consider how the
CIA implements policy through covert action. You describe the laws and
oversight procedures that govern our operations, ana you point to the critical
role that people play in the success of our work. You refer to a German poet
who explained how the medieval cathedrals were built, saying, "fen in those
days had more than just an opinion, they felt a commitment." You cite the
similar commitment held by Agency employees and close by quoting Sir William
Stephenson from the Introduction of A Man Called Intrepid.

GOOD EVENING. IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK IN SAN ANTONIO AND ON THE
CAMPUS HERE AT TRINITY. I AM VERY PLEASED TO BE INVITED TO BE PART
OF YOUR DISTINGUISHED LECTURE SERIES.
DURING THE TEN AND A HALF YEARS I HAVE BEEN IN WASHINGTON, I
CANNOT REMEMBER A TIME WHEN MORE THINGS WERE GOING ON AROUND THE
WORLD -- FROM SOVIET TROOPS LEAVING AFGHANISTAN, TO WORKER STRIKES
IN POLAND, TO MILITARY COUPS IN BURMA AND HAITI. SUCH EVENTS
CONTINUE TO MAKE INTELLIGENCE. VITALLY IMPORTANT TO OUR GOVERNMENT.
BUT INFORMATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOUGHT AFTER. DURING THE
SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR, PUBLISHER WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST SENT THIS
TELEGRAM TO HIS ON-THE-SPOT REPORTER: "SEND ALL THE JUICY DETAILS.
NEVER MIND THE FACTS."
TONIGHT I WANT TO GIVE YOU BOTH THE FACTS AND SOME DETAILS ABOUT
THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY AND HOW WE--DO OUR JOB OF SUPPORTING
U.S. FOREIGN POLICY AND PROTECTING OUR NATIONAL SECURITY.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/14: CIA-RDP90GO1353R002000020014-7
A MAJOR PART OF OUR JOB IS TO PROVIDE INTELLIGENCE TO
POLICYMAKERS ON A WIDE RANGE OF ISSUES. TO GIVE YOU SOME INSIGHT
INTO THAT JOB, I WANT TO FOCUS BRIEFLY ON RECENT EVENTS IN THE
SOVIET UNION AND WHAT THEY MEAN FOR INTELLIGENCE. THEN I WANT TO
CONCENTRATE ON TWO= PROBLEMS THAT THREATEN ALL NATIONS -- PROBLEMS
THAT HAVE GROWN SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE LAST DECADE -- TERRORISM AND
NARCOTICS.
ALTHOUGH THE RANGE OF INTELLIGENCE ISSUES WE FACE TODAY IS
BROAD, THE SOVIET UNION IS--- AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE -- THE PRIMARY
FOCUS OF OUR INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS. ITS MILITARY
CAPABILITY, ITS EFFORTS TO INCREASE GLOBAL INFLUENCE, AND ITS
AGGRESSIVE INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES ARE A SERIOUS THREAT TO U.S.
INTERESTS.1
GORBACHEV'S EFFORTS TO REFORM HIS-COUNTRY HAVE NOT FUNDAMENTALLY
ALTERED THESE TRUTHS. IN FACT, THE SOVIET REFORM EFFORT PRESENTS
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY't4ITH SOME FORMIDABLE CHALLENGES.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/14: CIA-RDP90GO1353R002000020014-7
WE MUST PAY CLOSER ATTENTION THAN EVER TO THE POLITICAL
STRUGGLES AND ISSUES BEING RAISED AS-GORBACHEV CHALLENGES THE
ESTABLISHED INTERESTS OF INDIVIDUALS AND INSTITUTIONS.
WE MUST ALSO HELP THE POLICYMAKER SORT OUT HOW REFORM WILL
AFFECT SOVIET MILITARY AND ECONOMIC CAPABILITIES AND -- EVEN MORE
DIFFICULT -- HOW IT MAY CHANGE MOSCOW'S FOREIGN POLICY.
WE MUST MANAGE THE INFORMATION EXPLOSION THAT GLASNOST HAS
PRODUCED WHICH, THOUGH WELCOME, CHALLENGES US TO SORT OUT WHAT IS
IMPORTANT AND WHAT IS NOT, WHAT IS REAL VERSUS WHAT MOSCOW WANTS US
TO HEAR.
WE MUST SUPPORT U.S.-SOVIET ARMS CONTROL TALKS. AS THESE
NEGOTIATIONS PROGRESS, THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY WILL BE
INCREASINGLY ASKED TO ASSESS SOVIET MOTIVATIONS AND MONITOR SOVIET
COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF AGREEMENTS. AND THE AMOUNT OF
SUPPORT REQUIRED IS TREMENDOUS. THE INF TREATY HAS REQUIRED THE
UNITED STATES TO CONDUCT INSPECTIONS Al 117 SOVIET FACILITIES.
MONITORING THE START TREATY, WHICH IS NOW BEING NEGOTIATED IN

GENEVA, COULD INVOLVE AS MANY AS 2,500 WEAPON LOCATIONS SPREAD
THROUGHOUT THE SOVIET UNION.2
YET WHATEVER ARMS CONTROL AGREEMENTS THE U.S. MAKES WITH THE
SOVIETS, OUR RELATIONSHIP IS LIKELY TO REMAIN ADVERSARIAL.
POLICYMAKERS WILL-DEPEND ON THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY TO MAKE QUICK
AND ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS -- AND EVEN TO ANTICIPATE GORBACHEV'S
SOMETIMES UNORTHODOX AND UNEXPECTED INITIATIVES.
BUT THE SOVIET UNION IS CERTAINLY NOT OUR ONLY FOCUS. TWO
PROBLEMS OF INCREASING IMPORTANCE TO U.S. POLICYMAKERS ARE TERRORISM
AND NARCOTICS -- PROBLEMS THAT THREATEN NOT ONLY OUR CITIZENS, BUT
PEOPLE IN ALL NATIONS.
TERRORISM HAS BEEN WITH US FOR CENTURIES. BUT ITS NATURE HAS
CHANGED IN RECENT YEARS. IT HAS BECOME MORE INTENSE AND MORE
WIDESPREAD, AND ITS TARGETS HAVE GROWN. TERRORISTS HAVE ATTACKED
DIPLOMATS IN EMBASSIES, PASSENGERS ON AIRPLANES. TRAVELERS ON TRAINS
AND SHIPS, TOURISTS IN HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS, AND CLERICS IN
CHURCHES AND SYNAGOGUES.

TODAY. TERRORISTS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOPHISTICATED WEAPONRY,
ADVANCED ELECTRONICS, AND IMPROVED COMMUNICATIONS. PERHAPS EVEN
MORE IMPORTANT, TERRORISM HAS BECOME A TOOL OF INTERNATIONAL
POLITICS, AS SOME COUNTRIES DIRECT OR SPONSOR TERRORISM AS PART OF
THEIR FOREIGN POLICY. TERRORISTS WITH STATE SPONSORSHIP ARE
ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH. THEY GET REAL AND FALSE
DOCUMENTATION FOR TRAVEL AND COVER. THEY RECEIVE TRAINING AND
INTELLIGENCE. THEY GAIN A SAFE HAVEN IN THE SPONSORING COUNTRY.
AND, OF COURSE, THEY GET FUNDING.
LAST YEAR THE CITIZENS AND PROPERTY OF OVER 84 NATIONS WERE THE
VICTIMS OR TARGETS OF INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST ATTACKS -- ATTACKS
THAT RESULTED IN NEARLY 3.000 CASUALTIES. INFORMATION COLLECTED FOR
THIS YEAR INDICATES THAT THE CITIZENS AND PROPERTY OF ALMOST 70
COUNTRIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN THE VICTIMS OF. INTERNATIONAL
TERRORISM.3
THE NUMBER OF TERRORIST INCIDENTS THAT OCCUR WITHIN THE UNITED
STATES HAS, THANKFULLY, REMAINED LOW IN RECENT YEARS. YET OUR

NATION REMAINS A PRIME TARGET OF TERRORIST ACTS OVERSEAS. OUR
CITIZENS AND FACILITIES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC; OUR NATIONAL
POLICIES ARE DIRECTLY OPPOSED TO-THE INTERESTS OF MANY TERRORIST
GROUPS; AND OUR NATION FREQUENTLY SUPPORTS GOVERNMENTS THAT
TERRORISTS ARE TRY-LNG TO DESTABILIZE.
INTELLIGENCE IS VITAL TO UNDERSTANDING TERRORISM AND TAKING
EFFECTIVE MEASURES TO PROMOTE OUR SECURITY AND SAFETY. THE CIA,
COOPERATING WITH OTHER INTELLIGENCE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
ORGANIZATIONS, HAS COLLECTED VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT TERRORIST
GROUPS.4 SOME OF THE MOST USEFUL INFORMATION HAS COME FROM
WALK-INS -- TERRORISTS WHO WISH TO DEFECT FROM THEIR ORGANIZATIONS.
BY PROTECTING AND IN SOME-CASES RESETTLING THESE INDIVIDUALS. WE
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GAIN THEIR COOPERATION. THEY HAVE TOLD US ABOUT
THEIR FORMER COLLEAGUES. THOSE WHO FINANCE AND PROTECT THEIR
ORGANIZATION, THE LOCATION OF THEIR HEADQUARTERS. AND THE NAMES OF
THEIR LEADERS.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/14: CIA-RDP90GO1353R002000020014-7
SUCH INFORMATION HELPS PROTECT BOTH U.S. AND ALLIED INTERESTS.
WE LEARNED, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT THE PALESTINIAN TERRORIST, ABU NIDAL,
HAD AN EXTENSIVE INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL NETWORK THAT DEALT IN THE
GRAY ARMS MARKET. THIS NETWORK HAD KEY OFFICES IN POLAND, EAST
GERMANY, AND SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES. USING THIS INFORMATION, THE
U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT APPROACHED THE GOVERNMENTS OF THESE COUNTRIES
EXPRESSING CONCERN ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF THESE BUSINESSES. AS A
RESULT, THE COMPANIES WERE CLOSED DOWN.
WE ALSO KEEP TRACK OF THE MOVEMENTS OF TERRORISTS. IF OUR
GOVERNMENT HAS AN OUTSTANDING WARRANT FOR THE ARREST OF A SUSPECTED
TERRORIST, WE CAW MAKE INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES
SO THAT THEY CAN LOCATE AND-APPREHEND HIM. IN SOME CASES. THE
UNITED STATES ASKS FOR EXTRADITION. IN THE CASE OF FAWAZ YUNIS,
WANTED FOR THE JUNE 1985 HIJACKING OF A JORDANIAN AIRLINER THAT
CARRIED U.S. CITIZENS. OUR INFORMATION ENABLED THE FBI TO FIND AND
ARREST YUNIS.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/14: CIA-RDP90GO1353R002000020014-7
WE ALSO SHARE INFORMATION WITH FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS CONCERNING
KNOWN AND POTENTIAL TERRORISTS, INCLUDING ALIASES USED AND FALSE
DOCUMENTATION, ENABLING THEM TO ADD SUCH INDIVIDUALS TO THEIR
WATCHLISTS. SUCH IMPROVED BORDER CONTROL ENABLED ONE GOVERNMENT TO
ARREST A WELL-KNOW SUPPORTER OF SEVERAL TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.
INFORMATION HAS ALSO BEEN USED TO DENY ENTRY AND SAFE HAVEN TO KNOWN
TERRORISTS AND THEIR ASSOCIATES.
DURING THE PAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS, THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 250
CASES IN WHICH SOME SORT OF COUNTERTERRORIST ACTION WAS TAKEN ON THE
BASIS OF INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION COLLECTED AND DISSEMINATED BY THE
CIA. IN ONE SUCH CASE, THE AGENCY RECEIVED A REPORT THAT TERRORISTS
PLANNED TO ASSASSINATE A SENIOR AMERICAN DIPLOMAT IN A MIDDLE
EASTERN COUNTRY WHEN HE ARRIVED FOR A MEETING. WHEN THE DIPLOMAT
WAS INFORMED OF THE REPORT, HE CONFIRMED THAT HE HAD SUCH AN
APPOINTMENT. AT THE LAST MOMENT, HE CHANGED THE LOCATION OF THE
MEETING AND ESCAPED AN ATTEMPT ON HIS LIFE.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/14: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000020014-7
IN RECENT YEARS, THE AGENCY HAS RECEIVED REPORTS OF PLANNED
TERRORIST ATTACKS ON OUR EMBASSIES IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LATIN
AMERICAN COUNTRIES. INCLUDING COLOMBIA. PERU, AND EL SALVADOR. IN
EACH CASE, THE EMBASSY, UPON RECEIVING SUCH A REPORT, INCREASED ITS
SECURITY. ON SEVE-RAL OCCASIONS, A SOURCE HAS SUBSEQUENTLY INFORMED
US THAT THIS INCREASED SECURITY PERSUADED THE TERRORIST GROUP
INVOLVED TO CANCEL ITS PLANS TO ATTACK.
DUE TO HARD WORK, VIGILANCE, AND EFFECTIVE COOPERATION BETWEEN
INTELLIGENCE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, BOTH WITHIN THE U.S. AND
INTERNATIONALLY. WE HAVE MADE SOME PROGRESS AGAINST TERRORISM.
THERE ARE FAR MORE TERRORISTS IN PRISON IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE
WORLD THAN THERE WERE JUST TWO YEARS AGO. COUNTRIES AROUND THE
WORLD HAVE SPENT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS MAKING THEIR PEOPLE AND
PROPERTY SAFER AND MORE SECURE. AND. VERY THANKFULLY. THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WAS SPARED ANY TERRORIST INCIDENTS AT THE
SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES IN SOUTH KOREA.

YET. TERRORIST GROUPS AND THEIR STATE SPONSORS REMAIN ACTIVE. IN
JUNE. A U.S. NAVAL ATTACHE, CAPTAIN NORDEEN, WAS ASSASSINATED IN
ATHENS. IN JULY, THE TERRORIST GROUP HIZBALLAH ATTACKED A CRUISE
SHIP. BOTH ATTACKS SHOWED RUTHLESSNESS AND SOPHISTICATED
PLANNING.S
ALL - OF -- THE, CURRENT" TRENDS - INDICATE THAT INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM
IS A CONTINUING THREAT AND AN UNPREDICTABLE ONE. IT WILL REMAIN A
PRIORITY ISSUE FOR THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.
NARCOTICS PRESENT A RELATED THREAT TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY.
LIKE TERRORISM, NARCOTICS IS A PROBLEM OF INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION.
IT. TOO. IS CHARACTERIZED BY VIOLENCE AND INTIMIDATION AND IT, TOO,
CAN EXACT GREAT HUMAN COST. NARCOTICS. LIKE= TERRORISM, IS AN
IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY. AND OUR
INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT HAS BEEN VITAL TO U.S. COUNTERNARCOTICS EFFORTS.
YOU ARE ALL AWARE OF THE ALARMING EXTENT OF NARCOTICS ABUSE IN
OUR OWN COUNTRY. MORE THAN 70 MILLION AMERICANS HAVE TRIED AN

ILLEGAL DRUG, AND 12 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IS THOUGHT TO HAVE
USED AN ILLEGAL DRUG IN THE PAST MONTH. ALMOST FORTY PERCENT OF
ORGANIZED-CRIME ACTIVITY IN OUR COUNTRY IS RELATED TO DRUGS,
GENERATING AN INCOME ESTIMATED TO BE AS HIGH AS $110 BILLION. NEW
YORK CITY, WHICH H=AS MORE AIDS CASES THAN ANY OTHER UNITED STATES
CITY, HAS ESTIMATED THAT INTRAVENOUS DRUG USE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR 35
PERCENT OF KNOWN AIDS CASES.6
ON THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE. WE HAVE DOCUMENTED EVER-INCREASING
RATES OF NARCOTICS PRODUCTION AND TRAFFICKING. THIS ACTIVITY HAS
BEEN ACCOMPANIED BY A HORRIFYING INCREASE IN VIOLENCE AND
INTIMIDATION -- ESPECIALLY IN LATIN AMERICA. DRUG TRAFFICKERS IN
COLOMBIA ROUTINELY USE VIOLENCE TO FURTHER THEIR ACTIVITIES....-JUDGES
AND OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, BUSINESSMEN, AND EVEN JOURNALISTS IN
THAT COUNTRY HAVE BEEN THE TARGETS OF BRIBERY. INTIMIDATION. AND
ASSASSINATION.
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY IS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN U.S.
COUNTERNARCOTICS EFFORTS FOR SEVERAL REASONS. THE UNITED STATES

CANNOT DEVELOP ITS FOREIGN POLICY WITHOUT HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING OF
THE ROLE NARCOTICS PLAYS IN A COUNTRY'S POLITICAL, ECONOMIC. AND
SOCIAL SYSTEMS. INTELLIGENCE PROVIDES THAT KIND OF INFORMATION.
NARCOTICS THREATENS OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AND THAT OF OUR
ALLIES. DRUG ABUSE AND RELATED ACTIVITIES HAVE HAD A DEVASTATING
EFFECT IN THIS COUNTRY. 'OUR ALLIES AROUND THE WORLD FACE A SIMILAR
THREAT. SOME OF THEM. AS REGIONAL CENTERS FOR NARCOTICS PRODUCTION
AND TRAFFICKING. MUST ALSO COPE WITH ESCALATING LEVELS OF VIOLENCE,
CORRUPTION AND SOCIAL DISORDER. INTELLIGENCE HELPS OESCRIBE THE
NATURE OF THIS THREAT AND HELPS IN DEVELOPING COUNTERMEASURES.
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY COLLECTS AND ANALYZES INFORMATION ON
EVERY STEP IN THE OPERATION OF NARCOTICS PRODUCTION. PROCESSING,
DISTRIBUTION, AND THE LAUNDERING OF PROFITS. OUR EFFORTS ARE
DESIGNED BOTH TO MEET IMMEDIATE NEEDS FOR INTELLIGENCE AND TO HELP
FASHION LONGER-TERM DRUG CONTROL STRATEGIES.
WE PROVIDE INTELLIGENCE TO THE FBI-9- THE-.DRUG ENFORCEMENT
ADMINISTRATION. THE CUSTOMS SERVICE, AND THE COAST GUARD TO ASSIST

THEM IN THEIR DRUG INTERDICTION AND ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS. JUST THIS
FALL, THE U.S. COAST GUARD ACTED ON OUR INTELLIGENCE TO SEIZE OVER
1,200 POUNDS OF COCAINE AND ARREST FIVE PEOPLE.7
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF INTERDICTION THAT COMBINED SOME VERY GOOD
INTELLIGENCE WITH EFFECTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS A DEA CASE INVOLVING
ETHYL ETHER, WHICH IS A CHEMICAL USED IN REFINING COCAINE. A
TRANSMITTER WAS PLACED IN BARRELS OF THE CHEMICAL, AND THE BARRELS
WERE TRACKED FROM INDIANA TO LOUISIANA, WHERE THEY WERE SHIPPED TO
CARTAGENA (( CAR TA HAY NA )), COLOMBIA. FROM THERE, THE BARRELS
WERE TRACKED TO CAQUETA (( KAH KAY TA )), COLOMBIA, WHERE
INTELLIGENCE ANALYSTS HAD IDENTIFIED A COCAINE MANUFACTURING SITE
LOCATED 500 MILES FROM THE NEAREST ROAD. THE COLOMBIAN NATIONAL
POLICE WERE TIPPED OFF, AND THEY SUCCESSFULLY RAIDED THE SITE AND
SEIZED ABOUT 10 TONS OF COCAINE.8
OUR INTELLIGENCE ALSO ASSISTS FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS IN THEIR
COUNTERNARCOTICS PROGRAMS. SEVERAL LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES ARE
CURRENTLY UNDERTAKING A MAJOR COOPERATIVE EFFORT TO DESTROY DRUG

PROCESSING LABORATORIES, AIRSTRIPS, AND CHEMICAL HOLDING AREAS. WE
ARE ALSO SUPPORTING AN INTERDICTION OPERATION AT THE SOUTHWEST
BORDER THAT INVOLVES FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN BOTH
COUNTRIES.9
OUR INTELLIGEMCE CAN HELP FOREIGN COUNTRIES MEASURE THE EXTENT
OF THEIR OWN DRUG-PROBLEM. 'USING " SOME' OF OUR INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS,
U.S. DIPLOMATS WERE ABLE TO SHOW ONE FOREIGN GOVERNMENT THE EXTENT
OF ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE DONE BY THE SLASH-AND-BURN AGRICULTURE OF
ITS NARCOTICS GROWERS. THE GOVERNMENT INTENSIFIED ITS ERADICATION
EFFORTS AND MADE A MAJOR DENT IN DRUG PRODUCTION. BUT THE NARCOTICS
INDUSTRY IS RESILIENT. IN THIS CASE, NARCOTICS PRODUCTION CAME
DOWN, BUT THE COUNTRY HAS INCREASINGLY-BECOME A REGIONAL TRANSIT
POINT FOR NARCOTICS. THIS ILLUSTRATES THE EXTENSIVE NATURE OF THE
NARCOTICS PROBLEM --.IT=MAY BE SUPPRESSED IN ONE AREA AND YET REMAIN
A PROBLEM IN ANOTHER.
INTELLIGENCE IS ALSO USED TO HELP IMPLEMENT THE ANTI-DRUG ABUSE
ACT OF 1986. THIS LEGISLATION REQUIRES THE UNITED STATES TO

WITHHOLD SOME FOREIGN ASSISTANCE FROM NATIONS THAT ARE NOT WORKING
TO COUNTER DRUG PRODUCTION, TRAFFICKING, OR MONEY LAUNDERING WITHIN
THEIR BORDERS. TO SUPPORT THIS ACT. WE MONITOR THE ACTIVITIES OF
THE DRUG TRAFFICKERS AND ANALYZE HOW WELL OTHER COUNTRIES'
COUNTERNARCOTICS MEASURES ARE WORKING. WE ALSO GIVE POLICYMAKERS
INFORMATION ON THE EXTENT TO WHICH FOREIGN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS MAY
BE INVOLVED IN DRUG ACTIVITIES -- INFORMATION THAT AFFECTS A NUMBER
OF U.S. POLICIES AND DECISIONS. FOR EXAMPLE. IN LATE 1987 THE
UNITED STATES ASKED ONE COUNTRY TO WITHDRAW ITS NOMINEE FOR A
HIGH-LEVEL DIPLOMATIC POSITION IN WASHINGTON, BASED ON EVIDENCE HE
WAS INVOLVED IN DRUG TRAFFICKING.10
BUT POLICYMAKERS-RECOGNIZE-THAT INTELLIGENCE.-IMPORTANT AS IT
IS, DOES NOT PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO THE NARCOTICS PROBLEM.
INTELLIGENCE CAN ILLUMINATE AN ISSUE -- TRACK, CLARIFY. AND PREDICT
AN OUTCOME. BUT THE ONLY SOLUTION -- IN THIS COUNTRY AND
WORLDWIDE -- IS A REDUCED-DEMAND FOR-NARCOTICS. COUPLED WITH A REAL
REDUCTION IN SUPPLY.

HOW ARE WE DOING IN OUR NATIONAL FIGHT AGAINST DRUGS? A RECENT
SURVEY OF AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS SUGGESTS WE ARE MAKING SOME
PROGRESS WITH REDUCING DEMAND. IN 1987. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE
THE SURVEY BEGAN, THE NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS REPORTING
COCAINE USE IN THE PAST YEAR WENT DOWN. AND ATTITUDES SEEM TO BE
CHANGING AS WELL -- ABOUT HALF OF THE STUDENTS SURVEYED FELT THAT
EVEN ONE-TIME USE OF COCAINE COULD BE DANGEROUS. FEWER OF THE
STUDENTS SURVEYED ARE USING MARIJUANA, AND MORE BELIEVE THAT EVEN
LIMITED USE OF THAT DRUG COULD BE HARMFUL. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ARE
BEING COMPLEMENTED WITH INITIATIVES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
LEGISLATION.11
THERE IS PROGRESS. THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION ACHIEVED
ABOUT A 15-PERCENT INCREASE IN ARRESTS IN 1987 OVER 1986, AND
CONVICTIONS IN 1987 WERE ALSO HIGHER THAN THEY WERE THE PREVIOUS
YEAR. IN 1987, THE FBI ACHIEVED OVER 2,800 CONVICTIONS -- AN
INCREASE OF ABOUT 200 OVER THE 1986 LEVEL AND A HUGE INCREASE OVER

THE 1983 FIGURE OF 471. IN 1987, 23 NATIONS JOINED THE U.S. IN
ERADICATING DRUG CROPS -- IN 1981, THERE WERE ONLY 2.
YET, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE WORLDWIDE-PRODUCTION AND
TRAFFICKING OF NARCOTICS HAS ALSO RISEN. EFFORTS TO REDUCE SUPPLY
ARE DESIGNED TO CAtJSE AS MUCH PAIN, CONFUSION, AND FRUSTRATION AS
POSSIBLE AMONG DRUG PRODUCERS, TRAFFICKERS, AND MONEY LAUNDERERS.
THIS INTERNATIONAL EFFORT RELIES ON ACCURATE INFORMATION ABOUT DRUG
TRAFFICKERS AND THEIR ACTIVITIES. IT ALSO REQUIRES UNDERSTANDING
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COUNTERMEASURES. NARCOTICS -- WORLDWIDE
CULTIVATION. PROCESSING, TRANSPORT, SALE, AND USE -- WILL REMAIN AN
IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.
I HAVE BEEN MAKING THE POINT THAT EFFECTIVE 'COUNTERTERRORISM AND
COUNTERNARCOTICS PROGRAMS ARE CRITICAL TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY, AND
THEY ARE CERTAINLY CRITICAL TO THE SAFETY OF OUR CITIZENS. BUT I
WANT TO EMPHASIZE AS WELL THAT HOW THE CIA AND OTHER INTELLIGENCE
AGENCIES CARRY OUT THEIR REPONSIBILITIES S-IS OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE TO

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/14: CIA-RDP90GO1353R002000020014-7
OUR COUNTRY. WE ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIFIC LAWS AND ARE GOVERNED BY
OVERSIGHT.
OUR MISSION-IS~TO-PROVIDE INTELLIGENCE TO POLICYMAKERS. WE DO
NOT MAKE POLICY. WE DO, HOWEVER, PLAY A ROLE IN IMPLEMENTING
POLICY. THIS IS DONE THROUGH COVERT ACTION PROGRAMS, AND I WANT TO
DISCUSS WITH YOU THE PROPER. LEGAL ROLE OF COVERT ACTION IN
ADVANCING U.S. FOREIGN POLICY, AS WELL AS THE TYPE OF ACCOUNTABILITY
THAT GOVERNS OUR ACTIONS.
THE CAPABILITY FOR.COVERT ACTION IS ESSENTIAL TO OUR FOREIGN
POLICY. FASHIONED EFFECTIVELY, COVERT ACTION PROGRAMS COMPLEMENT
OTHER INSTRUMENTS OF U.S. FOREIGN POLICY, INCLUDING DIPLOMACY AND
ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES. AND THEY OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE TO MILITARY
ACTION.
THE DECISION TO USE COVERT ACTION IS A POLICY DECISION MADE BY
THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL -- THE PRESIDENT, THE VICE PRESIDENT.
AND THE SECRETARIES OF STATE AND DEFENSE. AND. BY LAW, IT IS CIA'S
REPONSIBILITY TO IMPLEMENT SUCH DECISIONS.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/14: CIA-RDP90GO1353R002000020014-7
UNDER THE LAW, THE PRESIDENT MUST SIGN A DOCUMENT KNOWN AS A
"FINDING" TO AUTHORIZE A COVERT ACTION. FINDINGS ARE SHARED WITH
THE CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES -- THE HOUSE PERMANENT SELECT
COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE AND THE SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
INTELLIGENCE. UNDER A RECENTLY ESTABLISHED PROCEDURE. THE PRESIDENT
AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL REVIEW ALL THE CIA'S COVERT ACTION
PROGRAMS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. THEY ASK THREE BASIC QUESTIONS IN
CONSIDERING WHETHER TO BEGIN OR CONTINUE A COVERT ACTION: IS IT
LEGAL? WILL IT EFFECTIVELY PROMOTE OUR FOREIGN POLICY? AND. DOES
IT MAKE SENSE?
THE CIA IS GOVERNED BY OVERSIGHT AS WELL AS BY LAW. IN FACT,
OVERSIGHT OCCURS AT THREE LEVELS. THE-FIRST IS AN INTERNAL ONE.
DIRECTED BY THE AGENCY'S OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL AND OFFICE OF THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL. STRENGTHENING THE MANDATE AND RESOURCES OF THESE
OFFICES WAS ONE OF MY FIRST PRIORITIES UPON BEING APPOINTED DIRECTOR
IN MAY 1987.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/14: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000020014-7
THE CIA IS ALSO SUBJECT TO OVERSIGHT WITHIN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
AND TO OVERSIGHT BY CONGRESS THROUGH THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES.
THE OVERSIGHT RESPONSIBILITIES EXERCISED BY CONGRESS ARE BOTH
NECESSARY AND BENEFICIAL. A DEPENDABLE SYSTEM OF OVERSIGHT AND
ACCOUNTABILITY BUILDS. RATHER THAN ERODES, TRUST BETWEEN THOSE WHO
HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE RESPONSIBILITY AND THOSE WHO ARE ELECTED TO
REPRESENT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
IN EXPLAINING HOW WE DO OUR JOB AT THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
AGENCY, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT WE OPERATE WITH FIDELITY TO OUR
LAWS AND TO THE CONSTITUTION. BUT THERE IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT POINT
I WANT TO MAKE ABOUT OUR WORK, AND IT IS THAT THE INTELLIGENCE WE
PROVIDE TO POLICYMAKERS ON TERRORISM, NARCOTICS, AND MYRIAD OTHER
ISSUES IS NOT EASY TO COME BY. IN FACT, IT SOMETIMES COMES AT GREAT
COST TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE. AND IT IS THEIR
CREATIVITY, THEIR DETERMINATION, THEIR BRILLIANCE, AND THEIR COURAGE
THAT SPELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND FAILURE.

A GERMAN POET WAS ONCE ASKED HOW THE MEDIEVAL GERMANS EVER BUILT
THOSE LOFTY CATHEDRALS. HE REPLIED, "MEN IN THOSE DAYS HAD MORE
THAN JUST AN OPINION, THEY FELT-A COMMITMENT."12
I THINK OUR PEOPLE SHOW A SIMILAR COMMITMENT, AND I HOPE THAT WE
CONTINUE TO ATTRACF THOSE BEST SUITED TO CARRY OUT OUR MISSION. WE
ARE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE RISK TAKERS, BUT NOT RISK SEEKERS.
PEOPLE WHO ARE DEDICATED AND RESPONSIVE TO OUR LAW. PEOPLE TO WHOM
FAME AND FORTUNE ARE NOT A NECESSARY PART OF THEIR LIFE, BUT WHO CAN
FIND IN OUR WORK AN AVENUE TO PURSUE THEIR HIGHEST ASPIRATIONS FOR A
SAFER AND BETTER WORLD.
THIS BLEND OF REQUIREMENTS WAS BEST EXPRESSED BY AN OLD
FRIEND -- SIR WILLIAM STEPHENSON. IN THE INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK,
A MAN CALLED INTREPID, WHICH CHRONICLED HIS REMARKABLE INTELLIGENCE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR. SIR WILLIAM WROTE:
"PERHAPS A DAY WILL DAWN WHEN TYRANTS CAN NO LONGER THREATEN THE
LIBERTY OF ANY PEOPLE. WHEN THE.FUNCTIONS OF ALL.NATIONS, HOWEVER
VARIED THEIR IDEOLOGIES, WILL BE TO ENHANCE LIFE, NOT TO CONTROL
21

IT. IF SUCH A CONDITION IS POSSIBLE IT IS IN A FUTURE TOO FAR
DISTANT TO FORESEE. UNTIL THAT SAFER. BETTER DAY, THE DEMOCRACIES
WILL AVOID DISASTER, AND POSSIBLY TOTAL DESTRUCTION. ONLY BY
MAINTAINING THEIR DEFENSE.
AMONG THE INCREASINGLY INTRICATE ARSENALS ACROSS THE WORLD,
INTELLIGENCE IS AN ESSENTIAL WEAPON. PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT.
BUT IT IS, BEING SECRET, THE MOST DANGEROUS. SAFEGUARDS TO PREVENT
ITS ABUSE MUST BE DEVISED, REVISED, AND RIGIDLY APPLIED. BUT. AS IN
ALL ENTERPRISE, THE CHARACTER AND WISDOM OF THOSE TO WHOM IT IS
ENTRUSTED WILL BE DECISIVE. IN THE INTEGRITY OF THAT GUARDIANSHIP
LIES THE HOPE OF FREE PEOPLE TO ENDURE AND PREVAIL."
I SUBSCRIBE FULLY TO THIS STATEMENT,-AND I BELIEVE DEEPLY THAT A
NATION DEDICATED TO THE RULE OF LAW CAN PROTECT ITSELF AND ITS
HERITAGE IN NO OTHER WAY.
