Executive Order (EO) 12863, {open_quotes}President`s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board,{close_quotes} dated September 13, 1993, requires Inspectors General of the Intelligence Community to submit reports to the Intelligence Oversight Board, on at least a quarterly basis, on intelligence activities that the Inspectors General have reason to believe may have been unlawful or contrary to Executive order or Presidential directive. Within the Department of Energy (DOE) office of Inspector General, responsibility for oversight of DOE`s intelligence activities, pursuant to EO 12863, has been assigned to the Deputy Inspector General for Inspections. To carry out this responsibility, the Office of Inspections performs reviews to determine if intelligence activities within DOE are in compliance with restrictions set forth in selected intelligence-related laws, Executive orders, and DOE orders, guidelines or implementing procedures. Accordingly, the purpose of this inspection was to determine if intelligence activities conducted by the Special Technologies Laboratory (STL) were in compliance with such restrictions. Our primary objectives were to: (1) evaluate STL intelligence personnel`s knowledge of these restrictions, and (2) review procedures implemented by STL to identify, investigate, and report questionable intelligence activities and/or abuses to higher officials.
