Interest in congressional oversight of intelligence has risen again
in the 110th Congress, in part because of the House Democratic
majority's pledge to enact the remaining recommendations from the
U.S. National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United
States, commonly known as the 9/11 Commission. Its 2004 conclusions
set the stage for reconsideration of the problems affecting
Congress' structure in this area. The commission's unanimous
report, as detailed in this book, covers many issues, and concludes
that congressional oversight of intelligence was "dysfunctional".
This book proposes two distinct solutions:(1) creation of a joint
committee on intelligence (JCI), modelled after the defunct Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy (JCAE), or (2) enhanced status and power
for the existing select committees on intelligence, by making them
standing committees and granting both authorisation and
appropriations power. This book consists of public domain documents
which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and
enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to
provide easy access.
