Report on Congressional Oversight of Intelligence

Congressional Oversight of Intelligence is Broken, June 13, 2006.

  • “The Center for American Progress today releases a comprehensive study of congressional oversight of the U.S. Intelligence Community, “No Mere Oversight: Congressional Oversight of Intelligence is Broken,” (47 pages, PDF) that delineates where Congress is failing in its oversight duties and how past congressional methods, ways and means of effective oversight could be revived to correct the problems. In the study, authors Denis McDonough, Mara Rudman and Peter Rundlet explore the history of congressional oversight of the Intelligence Community and then examine how past congressional experience could be drawn upon today by the House and Senate Intelligence Committees to ensure effective intelligence gathering capabilities are the norm, not the exception.”
