OVERALL PERSPECTIVE ON THE INTELLIGENCE BUDGET

COMMITTEE INTENT

The classified Schedule of Authorizations, and the detailed explanation of it which may be found in the classified annex to this public report, contain a thorough discussion of all budget issues considered by the Committee and are available to all Members of the House. The Schedule of Authorizations contains the dollar amounts and personnel ceilings for the programs authorized by the bill. The Schedule is directly incorporated into, and is integral to, the bill itself. It is the intent of the Committee that all intelligence programs discussed in the classified annex to this report be conducted in accordance with the guidance and limitations contained therein.

SCOPE OF COMMITTEE REVIEW

U.S. intelligence and intelligence-related activities under the jurisdiction of the Committee include the National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP) and the Tactical Intelligence and Related Activities of the Department of Defense (TIARA).

The National Foreign Intelligence Program consists of all programs of the Central Intelligence Agency, as well as those national foreign intelligence and/or counterintelligence programs conducted by: (1) the Department of Defense; (2) the Defense Intelligence Agency; (3) the National Security Agency; (4) the Departments of the Army, Navy and Air Force; (5) the Department of State; (6) the Department of the Treasury; (7) the Department of Energy; (8) the

Federal Bureau of Investigation; and (9) the Drug Enforcement Administration.

The Department of Defense Tactical Intelligence and Related Activities (TIARA) are a diverse array of reconnaissance and target acquisition programs which are a functional part of the basic military force structure and provide direct information support to military operations. TIARA, as defined by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense, includes those military intelligence activities outside the general defense intelligence program which respond to the needs of military commanders for operational support information, as well as to national command, control, and intelligence requirements. The programs comprising TIARA also fall within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Armed Services.

OVERALL COMMITTEE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Committee's review of the President's fiscal year 1994 budget request for intelligence and intelligence-related activities was particularly comprehensive. The scope of this effort was dictated in part by the budget submission's status as the first from the Clinton Administration, and in part by the fact that eleven of the Committee's nineteen members were reviewing the budgets of the intelligence agencies for the first time.

Although the budget submission was not received until early April, the Committee conducted hearings with the Director of Central Intelligence, the Director of the National Security Agency, the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in addition to the managers of other intelligence programs. Special emphasis was placed on the views of the consumers of intelligence, particularly military commanders.

The Committee reviewed the budget request primarily by functional area, e.g., human intelligence, signals intelligence, imagery intelligence, and counterintelligence. Of particular concern were efforts being made by the components of the intelligence community to coordinate their efforts within these functional areas to reduce duplication and redundancy. While some progress has been made, much more needs to be done to encourage coordination within the community.

The Committee is aware of suggestions that the end of the Cold War means that spending on intelligence programs and activities can be substantially reduced. While the Committee believes that the intelligence budget should not be immune from scrutiny, and has recommended significant reductions this year, it is also aware that the maintenance of an effective intelligence capability is essential to national security. Members of the Committee, because of their access to classified information, are aware of the many successes the intelligence community has had in efforts as diverse as halting the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and ensuring that the provisions of international economic agreements are observed by their signatories. Because of the secrecy which of necessity must shroud the majority of their activities, intelligence agencies are at a disadvantage when it comes to making a public justification for a particular allocation of resources.

The Committee views the essential mission of the intelligence community to be the provision of adequate warning to policymakers of military, political, and economic developments which may pose a threat to the interests of the United States. This warning must be both accurate and timely so that poliicymakers are able to choose between all available responses. Maintaining and enhancing the intelligence community's capability to provide this type of warning was the Committee's goal in its deliberations on the fiscal year 1994 budget submission.

On the basis of the hearings it conducted, as well as information it compiled through other means, the Committee concluded that the budget request could be reduced without endangering any essential intelligence capability. The Committee's recommended authorization would provide approximately the same amount of funds as was appropriated for fiscal year 1993. This level represents a reduction of 3.7 percent from the budget request. Despite the reduction, investments in the systems necessary to conduct the intelligence missions of the next century can be made. At the same time, the Committee's recommended authorization will continue the effort to encourage the intelligence community to expedite the jettisoning of programs and methods of operation which lost their utility with the demise of the Soviet Union.

The intelligence budget, like those for every other activity of the federal government, must be appropriately sized to reflect the mission to be undertaken and the fiscal realities facing the nation. The Committee believes that its recommended authorization will provide an adequate, but not excessive, level of resources with which the intelligence community will be able to perform its mission. In recommending this level, the Committee is convinced that it has discharged its responsibility to ensure that the American people are asked to provide only that amount of funds for intelligence programs and activities which is prudent and necessary for the maintenance of the nation's security.

AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST

Intelligence support to counternarcotics

In its report to accompany the fiscal year 1992 intelligence authorization bill, the Committee expressed concern over the number of individual, uncoordinated countenarcotics initiatives within the intelligence community. While some improvement has been made in the interim, a recent study by the Committee revealed that a duplication of effort continues to exist and initiatives continue to be promulgated not because of their utility to the counternarcotics mission, but because of the relative protection these programs are afforded in the counternarcotics budget.

A principal reason for the lack of coordination is that no single person or organization has a clear mandate to oversee intelligence collection, analysis and reporting on the counternarcotics effort. Neither the President's Office of National Drug Control Policy nor the Director of Central Intelligence's Counternarcotics Center (CNC) has acted effectively to prevent such duplication. Intelligence centers have proliferated in the intelligence community, defense department and law enforcement agencies, with little attempt
