Summary

Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1990 - Title I: Intelligence Activities - Authorizes appropriations for FY 1990 for intelligence and intelligence-related activities in specified departments and agencies of the U.S. Government, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Department of Defense (DOD). Declares that the authorized amounts and personnel ceilings for such intelligence activities are those specified in the classified schedule of authorizations prepared by the conference committee to accompany this Act. Authorizes the Director of Central Intelligence to employ civilian personnel in excess (by not more than two percent) of the ceiling for such personnel when necessary for the performance of important intelligence functions. Restricts support for military and paramilitary operations in Nicaragua. Title II: Intelligence Community Staff - Authorizes appropriations for the Intelligence Community Staff for FY 1990. Establishes an end strength ceiling of 250 full-time Intelligence Community Staff employees. Provides that such staff shall be administered in the same manner as the CIA. Title III: Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System and Related Provisions - Authorizes appropriations for the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability Fund for FY 1990. Amends the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement Act of 1964 for Certain Employees to require participants, within the last two years before any separation from service, to complete at least one year of creditable civilian service to be eligible for an annuity. Provides for precedence of survivor benefits over death in service benefits for certain former spouses of CIA employees eligible for such benefits. Provides that the computation of survivor annuities for certain former spouses shall be reduced solely by the amount of survivor annuity payments made to such spouses under an election of survivor benefits. Sets forth special annuity computation rules for certain CIA employees who served abroad. Provides for the portability of such overseas service retirement benefit. Title IV: Central Intelligence Agency Administrative Provisions - Authorizes the CIA to procure commercial remote sensing data. Title V: Improvements to Personnel Authorities for Intelligence Components of the Department of Defense - Authorizes the Secretary of Defense to pay special pay to a civilian Defense Department officer or employee who has been certified as being proficient in a foreign language in a position in which such proficiency facilitates performance of officially assigned intelligence or intelligence-related duties. Authorizes the Secretary to accept gifts for the Defense Intelligence College and pay all necessary expenses in connection with such acceptance. Makes permanent the Secretary of Defense's authority to terminate employment of civilian intelligence officers and employees of military departments and of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Directs the Secretary of Defense to establish an undergraduate training program with respect to civilian employees of DIA to develop skills critical to the mission of DIA. Authorizes the Secretary to provide financial assistance for such employees. Provides that civilian employees of DIA need not be subject to the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS) to receive special retirement accrual benefits for service abroad. Amends the National Security Agency Act of 1959 to authorize the Director of the National Security Agency (NSA) to provide such benefits to certain NSA employees. Title VI: FBI New York Field Division Demonstration Project - Amends the Intelligence Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 1989 to provide that New York Field Division employees need not be subject to directed geographical transfer or reassignment to receive periodic payments under a certain demonstration project for the Division. Title VII: General Provision - Declares that appropriations authorized by this Act for employee benefits may be increased by such additional or supplemental amounts as may be necessary for increases in such compensation or benefits authorized by law. Provides that the authorization of appropriations by this Act shall not constitute authority for the conduct of any intelligence activity which is not otherwise authorized by the Constitution or laws of the United States. Directs the President to issue conflict of interest disclosure regulations for members of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. Provides that such regulations shall take effect not later than March 1, 1990, and shall be provided to House and Senate select committees on intelligence at least 30 days prior to such effective date.
