The Select Committee met, pursuant to notice, at9:13 a.m., in Room Sh-216, Hart Senate Office Building, the Honorable Arlen Specter, Chairman of the Committee, presiding. Present: Senators Specter, Lugar, Shelby, DeWine, Inhofe, Cohen, Brown, Kerrey of Nebraska, Bryan, Johnston and Robb. Also Present: Charles Battaglia, Staff Director; Chris Straub, Minority Staff Director; Suzanne Spaulding, Chief Counsel; and Kathleen McGhee, Chief Clerk. Chairman Specter. The Intelligence Committee will proceed at this time. Vice Chairman Kerrey is occupied on other matters but expects to join us shortly and has asked that we proceed before he would arrive. Today, we will hear in open session from the distinguished Director of Central Intelligence, John Deutch, with the focus on Iraq to the extent that Director Deutch can inform us on intelligence policy, to give us intelligence activities and intelligence findings, to give us an idea as to where we are heading in the Gulf. Two days ago. President Clinton convened a meeting with top Executive officials, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, Director of Central Intelligence, Members from both the House and the Senate, from both political parties. And that obviously, today, is the front burner issue. At the meeting with the President a discussion was held on matters which are of great concern to the American people. That involves what may be expected from Saddam Hussein, what are the threats to Kuwait to the extent they can be discussed publicly. What are the threats, if any, to Saudi Arabia? What is the situation with respect to the alliance where Kuwait initially did not give an affirmative answer to the deployment of U.S. troops there, and then came back accepting 3,500 instead of the figure of 5,000? And although Saudi Arabia permits our flights to cover the no-fly zone, we are flying planes from Guam half way around the world for missile deployment. Also, questions in the north, to the extent that they can be discussed publicly, with respect to the Kurds.
