SENATE RESOLUTION 201--COMMENDING THE CIA'S STATUTORY INSPECTOR GENERAL

  Mr. SPECTER (for himself, Mr. Kerrey, Mr. Glenn, Mr. Bryan, Mr. Robb, 
Mr. Johnston, Mr. Chafee, Mr. Baucus, Mr. Warner, Mr. Kerry, Mr. 
Shelby, Mr. Graham, Mr. Kyl, Mr. Lugar, Mr. Inhofe, Mr. Byrd, and Mr. 
DeWine) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and 
agreed to:

                              S. Res. 201

       Whereas, because of its concern with the need for 
     objectivity, authority and independence on the part of the 
     Central Intelligence Agency's Office of Inspector General, 
     the Senate in 1989 included in the Intelligence Authorization 
     Act of Fiscal Year 1990--subsequently enacted into law--a 
     provision establishing an independent, Presidentially-
     appointed statutory Inspector General at the CIA;
       Whereas in November, 1990, The Honorable Frederick P. Hitz 
     was formally sworn in as the CIA's first statutory Inspector 
     General;
       Whereas the CIA's statutory Office of Inspector General, 
     under the capable leadership of Frederick P. Hitz, has 
     demonstrated its independence, tenacity, effectiveness and 
     integrity; and
       Whereas the work of the CIA Office of Inspector General 
     under Mr. Hitz's leadership has contributed notably to the 
     greater efficiency, effectiveness, integrity and 
     accountability of the Central Intelligence Agency: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate expresses its congratulations to 
     Frederick P. Hitz on his 5-year anniversary as the first 
     statutory CIA Inspector General and expresses its support for 
     the Office of the CIA Inspector General.
       Sec. 2. The Secretary of the Senate shall transmit a copy 
     of this resolution to Frederick P. Hitz.
