ADMINISTRATION OF CENTRAL LN-TELLIGENCE AGENCY
This proposed legislation is substantially the same as H. R. 5871 which was,
introduced in the Eightieth Congress and unanimously reported out by the House
Armed Services Committee. However, due to lack of tune, the bill was riot called
tip on the floor. It was also reported out unanimously by the Senate Armed
Services Committee in the Eightieth Congress, and passed the Senate on June 21,
1948. The favorable action of the House Armed Services Committee is reported
in House Report No. 1853, dated May 4, 1918.
The purpose of the bill is to grant to the Central Intelligence Agency the author-
ities necessary for its proper administration. The bill deals with procurement,
travel, allowances and related expenses, general authorities, and methods of ex
penditures of appropriated funds. Further, it protects the confidential nature of
the Agency's functions and makes provisions for the internal administration of the
Agency. In almost all instances, the powers and authorities contained in the bill
already exist for some other branch of the Government, and the bill merely extends
similar authorities to the Central Intelligence Agency.
This proposed bill has been resubmitted to the Bureau of the Budget, and we
have been advised that they have no objection to its presentation to the Congress
in its present form.
Sincerely yours,
R_ H. HILLENKOETTE1,
