William French Smith was the U.S. Attorney General under [[Ronald Reagan]] who signed the secret 1982 Memorandum of Understanding with [[Central Intelligence Agency]] director [[William J. Casey]] that exempted CIA assets from drug crimes reporting. The agreement, hammered out between the CIA and Justice Department, fundamentally altered the relationship between intelligence operations and law enforcement.[^1]
