President Ford's budget director James T. Lynn will not disclose the total annual cost of U.S. intelligence operations in prepared testimony. House and Senate appropriations committees have seen figures between six and nine billion dollars, but Lynn says disclosure would breach classified limits. Committee chair Otis G.
