The officials said the C.I.A. had joined in a ''consensus'' decision not to proceed with a proposal put forth earlier this month by William J. Casey, the Director of Central Intelligence, to send the criminal provision to Congress as part of the proposed Intelligence Authorization Act for the fiscal year 1986.
