                    AVAILABILITY OF CLASSIFIED ANNEX

  Mr. SHELBY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have printed in 
the Record a letter to the Honorable Trent Lott dated May 17, 1999, 
signed by myself and Senator Kerrey.
  There being no objection, the letter was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:

                                                      U.S. Senate,


                             Select Committee on Intelligence,

                                     Washington, DC, May 17, 1999.
     Hon. Trent Lott,
     U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
       Dear Senator: The Select Committee on Intelligence has 
     reported a bill (S. 1009) authorizing appropriations for U.S. 
     intelligence activities for fiscal year 2000. The Committee 
     cannot disclose the details of its budgetary recommendations 
     in its public report (Senate Report 106-48), because our 
     intelligence activities are classified. The Committee has 
     prepared, however, a classified annex to the report which 
     describes the full scope and intent of the Committee's 
     actions.
       In accordance with the provisions of Section 8(c)(2) of 
     Senate Resolution 400 of the 94th Congress, the classified 
     annex is available to any member of the Senate and can be 
     reviewed in room SH-211. If you wish to do so, please have 
     your staff contact the Committee's Director of Security, Mr. 
     James Wolfe, at 224-1751 to arrange a time for such review.
           Sincerely,
                                                Richard C. Shelby,
                                                         Chairman.
                                                 J. Robert Kerrey,
     Vice Chairman.
