Membership on the Cominittee will provide the Intelligence 

 Community a better understanding of the Committee's 

 activities and requirements and will improve intelligence 

 support to our environmental policymakers. 

 o Senators Gore and Hurkowski have asked whether CIA data 

 could be released to environmental scientists who are 

 studying global change — and I have agreed to form a team 

 of cleared scientists who will examine our data and 

 determine what would be useful to environmental science, 

 o Under th^ Congressionally directed Dual Use Technology 

 Initiative, technology developed under the auspices of 

 the Intelligence Community will be transferred to the 

 private sector where appropriate — technology especially 

 useful in answering questions in areas like the 

 environment, law enforcement, and medicine. Twelve 

 projects — costing $30jnillion — have been selected. 

 Roughly half of the funds are for environmental projects. 

 Intelligence is applying its special capabilities to 

 nontraditional areas — such as the environment and related foreign 

 nuclear safety issues. For several years the CIA has brought a 

 value-added to the work done on these problems — in our analysis.
