SENATE AGAIN FAILS TO BREAK FILIBUSTER ON BROWN NOMINATION The Senate May 25 for the second consecutive day failed to get the 60 votes needed to break a filibuster against the nomination of Sam Brown to be U.S. ambassador to lead a U.S. delegation to the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE). The vote on the second attempt at cloture to cut off debate was 56-42. The first cloture vote May 24 was 54-44. A Senate staffer said it is now up to the Senate majority leader when to schedule another attempt at cloture. The Brown nomination, the staffer said, remains pending on the executive calendar of the Senate. The staffer said Brown appears to have enough support to be approved if a three-fifths Senate vote on cloture can be obtained. Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Claiborne Pell, who supports the nomination, said the Senate was only being asked to assign the title of ambassador to Brown while he negotiates the conventional forces treaty. Whether the title is conferred or not, Brown will be the negotiator, Pell said. COUNTERESPIONAGE BILL GAINS IN SENATE INTELLIGENCE PANEL The Senate Intelligence Committee, by a 16-0 vote May 24, approved legislation to better coordinate efforts by federal agencies to detect and prevent acts of espionage against the United States. The bill includes a provision, similar to one embodied in a presidential directive issued by President Clinton on May 3, that would require the president to create a National Counterintelligence Policy Board comprised of the heads of various agencies with counterintelligence responsibilities, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Defense Department and the National Security Council. The bill also provides greater access to the financial and credit records of individuals with access to classified information. However, panel chairman Dennis DeConcini said the bill will not move to the House floor until the Clinton administration and the committee agree on when the FBI should be informed of information that raises suspicions of espionage activities. The legislation is a result of concerns about the nation's counterintelligence system raised by the arrest of longtime CIA official Aldrich Ames on charges of spying for the Soviet Union and later Russia.
