August 4 (legislative day, July 10), 1995.--Ordered to be printed
_______________________________________________________________________
Mr. Thurmond, from the Committee on Armed Services, submitted the
following
R E P O R T
[To accompany S. 922]
The Committee on Armed Services, to which was referred the
bill (S. 922) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 1996
for intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the
United States Government and the Central Intelligence Agency
Retirement and Disability System, and for other purposes,
having considered the same, reports favorably thereon with an
amendment and recommends that the bill as amended do pass.
PURPOSE OF THE BILL
S. 922 would authorize appropriations and other matters for
fiscal year 1996 for intelligence activities of the United
States, including certain Department of Defense intelligence-
related activities within the jurisdiction of the Committee on
Armed Services.
The Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) reported the
bill on June 14, 1995, and it was referred to the Committee on
Armed Services in accordance with section 3(b) of Senate
Resolution 400, 94th Congress.
SCOPE OF COMMITTEE REVIEW
The Committee conducted a detailed review of the
intelligence community authorization request for fiscal year
1996. The Committee conducted hearings and met with the
chairman and vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence.
The Committee has carefully reviewed the report of the
Select Committee on Intelligence (Sen. Rep. 104-97) and has
incorporated the relevant budget decisions of that Committee
into S. 1026, the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal
year 1996, which was reported to the Senate on July 10, 1995.
The following explains the Committee's amendment to the
bill as reported by the Select Committee on Intelligence, as
well as the Committee's clarification to the report issued by
the Select Committee.
Scope of schedule
Section 102 provides that the amounts authorized to be
appropriated are those specified in the classified Schedule of
Authorizations. Unfortunately that Schedule of Authorizations
contained two subparts; one relating to the National Foreign
Intelligence Program (NFIP) and one relating to the Joint
Military Intelligence Program (JMIP). The JMIP is a new budget
and organizational category of the Department of Defense. The
JMIP consists of four component programs, each of which was
formerly funded in the Tactical Intelligence and Related
Activities (TIARA) aggregation. The Senate Armed Services
Committee has sole authorization jurisdiction over TIARA and
hence over the JMIP which is an aggregation of TIARA
activities.
Accordingly, the Armed Services Committee recommends an
amendment to section 102 that clarifies that the Schedule of
Authorizations is only the Schedule of Authorizations for the
National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP).
COMMITTEE ACTION
In accordance with the Legislative Reorganization Act of
1946, as amended by the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970,
there is set forth below the Committee vote to report favorably
S. 922 with an amendment.
The Committee conducted two votes. First, the Committee
adopted the Committee amendment by voice vote. Second, the
Committee adopted the underlying bill with an amendment by
voice vote. After both votes, Senators Glenn and Bryan
requested to be recorded in the negative.
fiscal data
The Committee will publish in the Congressional Record
information on five-year cost projections when such information
is received from the Congressional Budget Office.
REGULATORY IMPACT
Paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the
Senate requires that a report on the regulatory impact of a
bill be included in the report on the bill. The Committee finds
that there is no regulatory impact in the cost of S. 922.
CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW
Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 12 of rule XXVI of
the Standing Rules of the Senate, the changes in existing law
made by certain portions of the bill have not been shown in
this section of the report because, in the opinion of the
Committee, it is necessary to dispense with showing such
changes in order to expedite the business of the Senate and
reduce the expenditure of funds.
