DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
Security Committee
ATTENTION:
FROM:
Acting C airman
STATINTL
SUBJECT: S 2284, National. Intelligence Act of 1980
1. The DCI Security Committee, with representation
of senior security officers of the CIA, DIA, Department
of State, NSA, Army, Navy, Air Force, FBI, Department of
Energy, DoD.Reconnaissance Systems, and Office of the
Secretary of Defense met in special session on Friday
22 February to address the security authorities in S 2284.
It was the consensus of these officers that the Bill was
inadequate in provisions for security authorities for
the Director of National Intelligence and uneven in
comparative treatment of such authorities for the DNI
and the Director of the National Security Agency.
2. Changes were proposed and endorsed by these
senior security officers aimed at strengthening the
DNI's authorization to protect intelligence sources and
methods, intelligence procedures and products, so as to
be more compatible with Executive Orders 12036 and 12065
and to take account of the January 1980 Presidential
Directive for the DCI to serve as executive agent for the
National Security Council in the establishment of the
APEX Special Access Control System. A copy of the
modifications is attached. Only the representative of
the National Security Agency did not endorse concern or
accept for further consideration the proposed modifications.

3. It is requested that consideration be given to
these serious concerns of the Intelligence Community's
senior security officers, and that action be taken
through your good offices to bring them to the attention
of the Director and seek his endorsement to address and STATINTL
mitigate concern about Senate Bill 2284. The Security
Committee will be please to support you in
this matter. I can be reached on extension
