Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00791 R0001 00030001-4 SECRET SG1 I NOTE FOR: FROM: DATE: 01/24/95 17:28:24 SUBJECT: Stargate meeting - ExDir Decisions SG1 I Met this morning with[- Comptroller, D/OCA, and the DDL DDO was invited but did not make it. Basic guidance was to proceed per my memo, with one modification. We are to get in touch with the Director of CSI and ask him to initiate a declassification effort to get the program or at least parts of it declassified. The entire group was willing to let the blue ribbon panel be the prime input to our eventual decision regarding the disposition of the program and the people. They also agreed with our recommendation to provide the program manager and all admin support from here, so that only the three operations people would be candidates for eventual move to cia with the program. My view is that we now have the authority to get in touch with DIA to get full briefings on the activity, including their contractors and their operations details. Per our earlier discussion, please lay out a plan for contacting DIA and for contacting the blue ribbon panel candidate chair via the NRC group that did the study for the Army, and we will coord with OMA to be sure our contact is in the right channels. I will make contact with DIA and invite them to meet with you/us, as soon as I have your plan in outline form. SG1 I CC: Approved For Release 2003/09a§3:GtA-RDP96-00791 R0001 00030001-4
