Furthermore, all intelligence support functions, including training,
for the conduct of the various foreign intelligence activities of the

ADDRESSES: Central Intelligence Agency, Washington, D.C. 20505.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 8 November 1984, Congress enacted the
Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1985, which amended the
Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 (50 U.S.C. 403a et seq.) to
permit the Director of Central Intelligence to authorize Agency
personnel within the United States to perform functions identical to
those performed by special police officers of the General Services
Administration in order to protect Agency installations.
The legislation empowering GSA special police officers is entitled
``An Act to authorize the Federal Works Administrator or officials of
the Federal Works Agency duly authorized by him to appoint special
policemen for duty on Federal property under the jurisdiction of the
Federal Works Agency, and for other purposes'' (40 U.S.C. 318). Under
this Act, the Administrator of GSA is authorized to appoint uniformed
guards as special police officers. Once appointed, the GSA special
police are granted the same powers as sheriffs and constables upon
property under the GSA charge and control and are authorized to enforce
laws enacted for the protection of persons and property, to prevent
breaches of the peace, to suppress affrays or unlawful assemblies, and
to enforce with criminal penalties any rules and regulations made and
promulgated by the Administrator of the General Services
Administration.
As described in section 15 of the Central Intelligence Agency Act
of 1949, as amended, the Central Intelligence Agency has the authority
to carry out the protective police functions set forth above and has
promulgated these regulations pursuant to that authority.
This regulation concerns the management of public property and is
issued as a final rule in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2).
