ASSASSINATION AND TERRORISM BARRED:
Senate committee proposes new
rules for intelligence activities

(Continued from Page 1)
unfriendly non-democratic countries.
THE CIA has in the past been ac-
cused of attempting to assassinate
Cuban President Fidel Castro and
with participating in the 1973 over-
throw of the democratically-elected
government of Chilean Marxist Sal-
vador Allende.
The draft bill bars the "paid" use
by intelligence agencies of journal-
ists, missionaries or professors and
students. It does not prohibit volun-
tary cooperation from such persons.
It also prohibits activities intended
or likely to create mass destruction
of property, epidemics, or shortages
of food or water.
WRITTEN BY a subcommittee
headed by Sen. Walter Huddleston
(D-Ky.), the draft bill reorganizes
the intelligence community by law in
a, manner similar to that laid out by a
recent executive order issued by
President Carter.
The director of central intelli-
gence, currently Adm. Stansfield
Turner, is promoted to director of
national intelligence, a position

which makes him in effect chairman
of the board of the intelligence com-
munity. k
Under the proposal, the new na-
tional intelligence director would be
appointed to a six-year term which
would be renewable only once.
HE WOULD have final authority
for the budgets of all intelligence
agencies and responsibility to set the
nation's intelligence goals and mis-
sions.
One of the basic principles of the
proposal is that intelligence agencies
must have evidence that a U.S.
citizen or resident alien has violated
the law before an investigation can
be opened inside the United States.
It also proposes that an intelligence
agency must obtain a warrant before
engaging in wiretapping, or mail
opening.
THE AMERICAN Civil Liberties
Union hailed these and other provi-
sions of the proposal, saying they
provide a good starting point for fur-
ther improvements.

But it said in its present form the
draft bill is "nearly overwhelmed by
exceptions."
"Unless these principles are better
secured, we fear that the charters
could end up authorizing many of the
intelligence abuses they are intended
to prevent," the ACLU said in a state-
ment.
FOR EXAMPLE, it said destroy-
ing property, causing energy short-
ages, engaging in paramilitary oper-
ations and the non-violent overthrow
of democratic governments "are all
by inference permitted because they
are not specifically prohibited."
In other provisions, the bill man-
dates the creation of a review system
by policy makers at the highest level
of the government for all forms of
covert action.
It requires any covert action, such
as paramilitary operations, under-
taken be "essential to the conduct of
the foreign policy or the national
defense" of the United States.

Keith Tolsolt.
Some of us
need more
than T.L.C.

More than fifty percent of
the world is starving. Another
twenty percent, just plain
hungry. And yet, in the face of
starvation, they have hope.
Hope that the rains will return
to the African Plain. Hope that
the Asian rice crop will be bigger
this year. Hope that someone,
anyone, with anything tou
offer will come to help them
fight the battle for life.
Someone in the Peace
Corps. They'd like to
stand up for themselves,
these prisoners of fate,
but they're just too weak
to stand up. But with
the Peace Corps av
flame begins to flicker.
They've seen others
like you before. Seen}
the changes you can
bring. Two thousand
wells on the parched earth
of Sahel. Seen how their f
knowledge helped reduce
the grain losses. Who are
they? They're people
pretty much like you.
f A Public Service of This Newspaper & The Advertising Council

People with commitment and
skills who've assessed their
lives and decided there must
be more than just having a job.
They looked into themselves
and knew it was time for the
talk to end and the work to
begin. They're very special
people, these people. Totally
prepared to give
everything they've got.
And getting back even
more than they give.
That's the beauty of the
Peace Corps. The work
is hard and the pay is
lousy, and the progress
comes a drop at a time. But
the rewards are infinite..
Join the Peace Corps
and then take a good long
look in the mirror. You'll
never look the same to
yourself again.
The Peace Corps is alive
and well. Call toll free:
