This book will offer a unique approach to the Year of Intelligence,
the sixteen-month period between January 1975 and April 1976 that
saw the innermost secrets of various US intelligence agencies laid
bare before the world. After allegations of intelligence abuses
were made in the press, Congress investigated and revealed numerous
cases of unwarranted and unconstitutional activity conducted by a
number of intelligence agencies. Chief among the investigations was
the Senate enquiry, popularly known as the Church Committee after
its chairman, Senator Frank Church of Idaho. This study's objective
is to examine the relationship between national security policy and
public opinion using extensive archival evidence, including
previously unidentified indicators of public opinion. This
monograph makes an important contribution to the historiography of
the Church Committee, of public opinion, and of national security
policy. The research contributes to the debate on the effectiveness
of the Church Committee by challenging the conclusions within the
established historiography of the limited impact of the committee's
quest for reform. Furthermore, it widens the very limited
scholarship that engages with public opinion's effect on national
security policy. And the project also indicates to policymakers the
lessons that can be learnt from the case study, principally, that
public opinion is a vital ingredient in the decision making process
of successful national security policy.
