Action Requested: Sign the attached letter responding to Chairman Boland's letter to you concerning an HPSCI requirement for an annual report. 2. Background: a. Mr. Boland wrote to you on 24 January advising of a recent House resolution requiring the HPSCI to arrange for an annual report "reviewing the intelligence and intelligence- related activities of all the elements of the Intelligence Community as well as the intelligence and intelligence-related activities of foreign countries directed at the United States or its interest," and requesting that you provide a report on those matters of which you are cognizant as DCI by the close of each year beginning in 1978. b. Similar requests are being sent to the Secretaries of State and Defense and to the Attorney General by the HPSCI. c. The Chairman further asks that you appoint an action officer to effect liaison with the HPSCI on the preparation of the report. We believe that this requirement can be handled within the context of the DCI Annual Report on the Intelligence Community (with some adjustment in the publication date for the next year's version). Accordingly, it seems appropriate to appoint as action officer the principal editor of your Annual Report.
