Mark ANDREWS
?
Mapleton, North Dakota
Senator Mark Andrews succeeded former
Republican Senator Milton Young, who retired at
the end of the 96th Congress. Although new to
the Senate for the 97th Congress, Senator
Andrews previously served in the U.S. House
of Representatives (1963-1981). He currently
serves on the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and
Forestry Committee, the Budget Committee, the
Select Committee on Indian Affairs and the
Appropriations Committee, where he is a
Member of the Subcommittee on Defense.
CIA has had very limited contact with
Senator Andrews. Most of our dealings over the
years have focused on constituent inquiries.
While a Member of the House, Senator Andrews
established a solid reputation as a farmer's
advocate. With a background in farming himself
he used his Membership on the House Appropria-
Republican
tions Committee to apply consistent leverage in the Congress to support the
farming interests of his State. When former President Carter sought to cut
back funding for the controversial Garrison Water Development Project in
North Dakota in 1977 he complained that it was "under attack by radical
environmentalists" and warned that "Carter and company better not show up in
this area." Despite the militance of his public works rhetoric, however,
Senator Andrews is a temperate Republican on most issues. Senator Andrews is
one of several cosponsors of S. 391, the Senate version of the pending
Identities Bill.
Senator Andrews holds a B.S. from North Dakota State University.
He attended the U.S. Military Academy from 1944 to 1946 and served in the
U.S. Army during World War II. He embarked on his political career in
the late 1950's when he became North Dakota's Republican National Committee-
man (1958-1962). He was the unsuccessful Republican candidate for the
Governorship of North Dakota in 1962.
Personal Data
Senator Andrews is Episcopalian. He is married and has three children.
The Senator is 54 years old.

serves on the Senate Budget Committee, the
Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee,
the Veterans' Affairs Committee and the Appro-
priations Committee, where he is a Member of
the Subcommittee on Defense. An aggressive and
determined young politician, he compiled a
solid conservative record during his four year
political career in the U.S. House of Represen-
tatives. While in the House he was a Member of
the Intelligence Committee. In 1976 he
played an important role in legislation to end
the Federal monopoly over the production of
enriched uranium. After first casting the
deciding vote in favor of an amendment which
would have allowed private industry to enter
Republican
the field, he switched and cast his vote the other way. As a Member of the
House he voted against raising Social Security taxes, against increasing the
minimum wage and against a crude oil tax. He voted for strip mining controls
and supported expanding the Appalachian Trail.
CIA's contact with Senator Kasten (even while he was a Member of the
House Intelligence Committee) has been limited. Senator Kasten is one of
several cosponsors of the Senate version of the pending Identities legislation.
Senator Kasten holds a B.A. from the University of Arizona and his
M.B.A. from Columbia University. He served with the U.S. Air Force during
1967 and the Wisconsin Air National Guard from 1967 to 1972. Prior to
embarking on his political career, he worked as a shoe company executive.
From 1972 to 1974 he served as a Member of the Wisconsin State Senate. He
relinquished his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1978 to run for
Governor of the State of Wisconsin, but was unsuccessful in his hid for that
position.

William PROXMIRE
\1U. S. SENATE
?
?
Madison, Wisconsin
William Proxmire has been a Member of
the' Senate since August 1957. He currently
serves on the Senate Banking, Housing, and
Urban Affairs Committee; the Joint Economic
Committee; and is the Ranking Minority Member
of the Appropriations Committee.
The Agency has had frequent contact
with Senator Proxmire over the years and has
found him to be one of CIA's most outspoken
critics. He is strongly in favor of downgrad-
ing and declassifying information produced by
CIA and other agencies in the Executive
Branch. As Chairman of the Joint Economic
Subcommittee on Priorities and Economy in
Government in the 96th Congress, he showed
special interest in the economies of the Soviet
Union and the People's Republic of China.
Former DCI Turner's annual appearance before the Joint Economic Committee was
at his initiation. Senator Proxmire attacked the Agency last year concerning
what he felt was faulty analysis on our part regarding Soviet defense spending.
The Senator is a strong supporter of the Freedom of Information Act, and we
have received many inquiries from his staff for constituents who have made
requests under this Act. Following a briefing on Iran in March 1978, the
Senator relayed to former DCI Turner his belief that CIA attention to the
internal affairs of Iran was limited. Along with a referral to the Depart-
ment of State regarding his concern about contingency planning for Iran, he was
assured that we were getting continuous and detailed intelligence on Iran. Ron
Tammen, Legislative Assistant to the Senator, was previously an Agency employee
in the Office of Strategic Research. We continue to have contact with him.
Background and Personal Data
An economist, Senator Proxmire is a graduate of Yale and received his
M.B.A. and M.P.A. from Harvard University. Before embarking on his political
career, he was President of Artcraft Press from 1953 to 1957. He served
in the Wisconsin State Legislature during 1951 and was nominee for Governor
of Wisconsin on three occasions (1952, 1954, 1956).
Senator Proxmire is married. He is Episcopalian. The Senator is 65
years old.

Daniel K. INOUYE
U. S. SENATE
}
?
?
Honolulu, Hawaii
The first Japanese-American to be
elected to the Senate, Senator Daniel Inouye
has been a Member of Congress since 1959.
Prior to his election to the Senate in 1963,
he was a Member of the House of Representa-
tives (1959-63). Senator Inouye moved to the
forefront of the American political scene
during his service on the Watergate Com-
mittee, a post he was at first somewhat r.
reluctant to accept. He currently serves
on the Select Committee on Intelligence
(SSCI), where he is the Vice Chairman of
the Budget Authorization Subcommittee;
the Appropriations Defense Subcommittee; the
Commerce, Science and Transportation Com-
mittee; and the Select Committee on Indian
Affairs.
Senator Inouye was the first SSCI Chairman; he relinquished his post
at the end of the first session of the 95th Congress because of other
Senatorial commitments and because he believes it unwise for a Member to be
continually involved in and responsible for classified material. When
selected Chairman, Senator Inouye pledged to maintain and hopefully strength-
en the U.S. intelligence effort. At the same time he said the Constitutional
rights of all citizens must be protected. As SSCI Chairman, he was extremely
concerned about the SSCI's ability to protect sensitive information and once
suspended a staff member for 30 days without pay for taking classified
material out of the office. In honor of his service as SSCI Chairman, the
Senator received the National Intelligence Distinguished Service Medal in
January 1978.
The Senator has received numerous intelligence briefings and toured
various Agency facilities in the U.S. and abroad, particularly in the Far
East. Generally a supporter of the Agency, Senator Inouye did, however,
criticize the Agency's intelligence collection program in Micronesia, pri-
marily on the grounds that the Micronesians were under the protection of U.S.
laws and should not be the target of spying. He voted to release the interim
report on Micronesia, including one sentence the Executive Branch wanted
withheld. He also staunchly opposed CIA use of the Agency for International
Development for cover purposes in Congressional discussions of that issue in
1975.

Subcommittee; the Appropriations Defense
Subcommittee; the Select Committee on Small
Business; and is the Ranking Minority Member

Committee. Senator Huddleston was a Member
of the former Church Committee.
Senator Huddleston's main areas of in-
terest have been the Agency's relationship
with U.S. institutions, such as universities
and the press, and CIA propaganda efforts
abroad which might be replayed in the United
States. In the debate on S. Res. 400, which
established the SSCI, Senator Huddleston
said the U.S. must have the strongest, most effective intelligence services,
essential information must be kept secret, and thus improvements can be made
in the intelligence oversight system." In his personal capacity and as
Chairman of the SSCI Subcommittee on Charters and Guidelines during the
96th Congress, he was the most outspoken supporter of Charters legislation.
He played an active role as mediator in the effort to develop a consensus
among Members regarding charter drafts. He is most concerned with foreign
intelligence operations directed against U.S. persons, potential source
investigations, special activities and accountability to Congress. The
Senator ultimately accepted and supported the compromise Hughes-Ryan modifi-
cation and new oversight language which was enacted as part of the Fiscal
Year 1981 Intelligence Authorization Act. Senator Huddleston has received
numerous briefings by CIA personnel over the years. He is one of several
cosponsors of the pending Identities legislation.
Senator Huddleston holds an A.B. from the University of Kentucky.
He served in the U.S. Army from 1944 to 1946. From 1960 to 1961 he was
