PROVIDING FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE CENTRAL INTEIa-
LIGE1 CE AGENCY, ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO SECTION 102,
NATIONAL SECURITY ACT OF 1947
MAT 17 (legislative day, MAY 10), 1948.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. SALTONSTALL, from the Committee-on Armed Services, submitted
the following
the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1948, report the following bill
(S. 2688) to provide for the administration of the Central Intelligence
Agency, established pursuant to section 102, National Security Act of
1947, and for other purposes, and recommend that it do pass.
The Committee on Armed Services, having had under consideration
The purpose of the bill is to grant to the Central Intelligence Agency
the authorities necessary for its proper administration. The bill
deals with procurement, travel, allowances and related expenses,
general authorities, and methods of expenditures 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.
Hearings on the matter were conducted in executive session because
the confidential nature of the Agency's functions were deemed to be
such as to require the discussions to be so held. The committee
carefully considered all sections of the bill, and, after such considera-
tion, is satisfied that all provisions of the proposal are justified and
necessary to the efficient operation of the intelligence service of the
United States,
