The purpose of this letter is to advise you of past-• errors in the Federal Bureau of investigation's administration' of the intelligence Oversight Board (IOB). process., and the résulté of corrective- action completed..

As you- know., Ëxéçutive order 12863 requires the, Inspectors General and- the. General Counsel of the Intelligence Community components to report to the IOB all information "concerning intelligence activities, that they have reason to believe, may be unlawful or contrary' to Executive order or Presidential Directive." -Within the. FBi, this responsibility is' vested in the Assistant Director of the Inspection -Division, and the General. Counsel. In this regard, current. Bureau regulations,, approved by thé I0.B, require the Assistant Director,." Inspection Division, to refer possible. IOB violations to the -Office of the Général Counsel for review by the- Associate General Courigel. for National Security Affaira- (AGCNSA) . In the èvént. that he détermines a particular matter should be reported-to the IOB,. the ÀGCNSA so advises the Assistant Director, • Inspection Division, and he (the AGCNSA)- prépares a letter to-, the IOB

reporting the intelligence violation. That correspondence is signed by the Assistant Director, Inspection Division, and the General Counsel.. In the event that a matter is not required to be reported to the IOB-, the AGCNSA advises the insistant Director that a copy of his legal opinion should bé retained with the case file for review by the. Counsel to the IOB, if requested. Additionally, Bureau regulations require-that matters reported to the IOB be reported to the' FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) by the Inspection Division £or possible administrative or disciplinary, action.

In August: of 1999, fbllowing an internal OGC audit of the IOB process, the National Security Law Unit,. OGC, informed the Inspection Division of significant delays in reporting IOB violations tQ- OGC, and also questioned whether reportable. IOB violations were being referred to OPR as required. Further inquiry determined that, owing .to personnel transfers and general unfamiliarity with IOB procedures, the Inspection Division had . not been reporting reportable IOB violations to OPR since April, 1997,. when responsibility for oversight of the IOB process .was transferred from OPR to thé Inspection Division. Thus, for. approximately twenty-nine months, the FBI's correspondence to the.IOB, in which we reported the Bureau's IOB violations and indicated that such' violations, were being referred to the OPR, was. incorrect with regard to the referral of such matters to OPR.

As soon as this ptoblénj was identified in 1999, Inspection Division, OGC and OPR representatives met on several occasions to identify those cases which should have been referred to. OPR. During the past year, all of those cases have been idëntified and referred to OPR.. Additionally/ appropriate measures have been taken-.to ensure IOB reporting requirements conform- to Bureau regulations.. This matter was also addressed during OGC's recent inspection by .the Inspection Division.
