Gates said nearly two thirds of the new intelligence budget "will be directed at a wide range of issues and challenges other than the former Soviet Union." By contrast, he said, in 1980 "at the height of our commitment of resources to the Cold War," 40 percent of the budget was aimed at other problems. The CIA director outlined "three broad tasks" for the intelligence community in the economic field. The first, and the broadest, he said, is supporting the administration and Congress "as they set this country's economic course." This involves monitoring global economic trends, bilateral and multilateral economic negotiations and the economic traditions, customs, laws and regulations of individual countries. Gates said some countries act as "sharpsters in the international economic arena." In targeting them, he said, "subsidies, government-to-government lobbying, schemes to promote exports and restrain imports, unwritten agreements, strange financial links and unusual commercial deals are all illustrative of economic behavior that we in the intelligence community need to understand and follow." A second related task, he said, is to monitor technological trends that could affect national security, such as new high-performance computers that could be used for military purposes, semiconductor devices that could lead to new generations of smart weapons, and breakthroughs in telecommunications that could give rise to entirely new industries. "In each of these areas," Gates observed, "U.S. dominance is a thing of the past." The third main task, he said, is counterintelligence, "to protect our economy from those who do not play by the rules." Some foreign intelligence services "have turned from politics to economics and ... the United States is their prime target," Gates said. Gates emphasized, however, that U.S. intelligence "does not, should not, and will not engage in industrial espionage." He said such spying raises serious ethical and legal questions as well as problems involving sources and methods. "Plainly put," Gates said, "it is the role of U.S. business to size up their foreign competitors' trade secrets, marketing strategies, and bid proposals. Some years ago, one of our clandestine service officers said to me: 'You know, I'm prepared to give my life for my country, but not for a company.' That case officer was absolutely right."
