INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION ACT (Senate - July 26, 1991)

[Page: S11100]

Mr. BOREN. Mr. President, on behalf of the Select Committee on Intelligence, I recently introduced S. 1539, the Intelligence Authorization Act, fiscal year 1992 (S. Rept. 102-117).

This bill would authorize appropriations for fiscal year 1992 for the conduct of the intelligence activities of the following elements of the U.S. Government: the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Defense--to include the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, and each of the military departments--and the national intelligence activities of the Departments of State, Treasury, Energy, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The bill also would require the President, starting with the fiscal year 1993 budget request, to disclose the amounts requested for intelligence activities and the amounts spent in the prior fiscal year. In addition, the bill would require the conference report on the annual intelligence authorization to disclose the amount authorized for intelligence.

The bill also makes certain changes to the CIA retirement and disability system, and directs the FBI to conduct a study relative to the establishment of an undergraduate training program similar in purpose, conditions, content, and administration to those administered by the CIA, NSA, and DIA.

Finally, the bill authorizes funds within the intelligence budget for a national security education program. This program will begin to correct serious deficiencies in the Nation's training in the areas of foreign languages, regional studies, and international studies.

Mr. President, I ask that the text of this legislation be printed in the Record.

The bill follows:
