It believes.
for example, that liaison activities by program personnel and the personnel of similar
programs in other nations should be pursued and does not accept the excuse that this
somehow compromises U'S intelligence activities. The Committee also believes that the time
has come for a re-evaluation of the classification of the existence of this effort as well as the
results that have been obtained over time. If the DIA has difficulty filling the billets that
have been set aside for this activity by DIA personnel, consideration should be given to using
them for liaison purposes with appropriate user organizations. Thus, the Committee wishes
renewed effort on the part of DIA to pursue the following work schedule in FY 95:

data that has been produced by the program since its inception 10 years ago. This
includes an inventory and analysis of the files held in the Ci.A. while it administered
the program as well as in DIA. The study should also address the compliance of the
program with Congressional direction.
