4. (U) Witnesses and agenda were as shown in the
attachment.
;. (U) The following items of interest occurred
during these briefings:
a. (U) FBI Intelligence: Mr. Burlison asked the
FBI to submit- adef~intion of domestic intelligence
for the record, saying that the Subcommittee was
having some difficulty in determining just where. their
jurisdiction should stop. Mr. Mineta asked who
besides the Attorney General monitors the FBI to
assure that they obey the law. Response was internal
Justice Department audit and the General Accounting
Office.
b. (U) FBI Counterintelligence: The FBI v,i%nesses
said that because of U.S. policies permitting free
.entry to the U.S. by foreign nationals, their counter-
intelligence task is made more difficult. They
suggested tightening up on issuances of visas and a
more restrictive immigration procedure plus quotas on
visiting and permanent exchanges. They also
complained about port callers but admitted they did
not have hard evidence of port caller espionage.
They also mentioned the lack of travel restrictions
on UN delegates, and the prohibition against
investigating UN Secretariat personnel. They also
said they are prohibited from interviewing U.S.
citizens who have been to Russia.
c. (S) Defense Counterintelligence: Witnesses
said relations wit CIAa much improved over five
years ago. Burlison asked what was the problem.
Navy said CIA was only interested in positive intelli-
gence; Air Force said the internal reorganization of
CIA eliminated the problem; the Defense witness said
CIA in the past was not interested in helping run
DoD double agents. Everything is fine now.
d. (C) State Intelligence: The principal task
of State intelligence was described as producing
a daily current intelligence report for the Secretary.
Mr. Burlison said it looked like they had too many
boxes on their organization chart.
Mr. Robinson stated that the policy involvement
of INI: makes them somewhat different from CIA and the
FBI, and suggested. that maybe not all of INR was a

concern. Mr. Rose asked about State's participation
in the Community Online Information System. Rose said
many intelligence agencies don't put information into
this system and don't use it and he hopes to find out
Why. The witness was not prepared to discuss it.
e. (u) Energ Intelligence: The witnesses
described Department A Energy intelligence functions
ranging from the production of current intelligence
on a daily basis for the Secretary of Energy, to
development of nuclear detection devices and satellite
