                                 A BILL


 
   To unify the formulation and execution of United States diplomacy.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

                          TITLE I--SHORT TITLE

    Sec. 101. This Act may be cited as the ``Abolition of the Central 
Intelligence Agency Act of 1995''.

         TITLE II--ABOLITION OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

    Sec. 201. Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to unify the 
formulation and execution of United States foreign policy by providing 
overall authority over intelligence activities to the Secretary of 
State.
    Sec. 202. Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency as a 
        separate entity during the Cold War undermined the role of the 
        Department of State as the primary agency of the United States 
        Government in formulating and conducting foreign policy and 
        providing information to the President concerning the state of 
        world affairs; and
            (2) it is desirable for the Secretary of State to serve as 
        the official primarily responsible for coordinating and 
        managing the gathering of intelligence.
    Sec. 203. Transfer of Intelligence Functions.--
            (a) Not later than two years after the effective date of 
        this Act there shall be transferred to and vested in the 
        Secretary of State all of the functions, powers and duties of 
        the Director of Central Intelligence, the Director of the 
        Central Intelligence Agency and any officer or component of the 
        Central Intelligence Agency.
            (b) Not later than one year after the effective date of 
        this Act, the Secretary of State, after consultation with the 
        Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and other relevant 
        officials, shall transmit to the Congress a plan for (1) 
        effecting the transfer of functions under this section and (2) 
        administering those functions. In designing the plan the 
        Secretary shall also consult with the Congress, other relevant 
        federal agencies and the President's Foreign Intelligence 
        Advisory Board.
            (c) The Secretary of State is authorized to conduct the 
        functions transferred by subsection (a).
            (d) The transfer of a function or office from an officer or 
        agency to the Secretary of State includes any aspects of such 
        function or office vested in a subordinate of such officer or 
        in a component of such agency.
                                 <all>
