COMMITTEE STATEMENT AND VIEWS

A. THE COMMITTEE REVIEW

The Committee completed its review of the President’s fiscal year 

2007 budget request, carrying out its annual responsibility to prepare an authorization based on close examination of the U.S. government’s intelligence programs and proposed expenditures. In a 

deliberate departure from past practice, the Committee decided to 

mark up the budget request much earlier in the calendar year than 

normal. This required that the Committee’s focus be more strategic 

in nature. Instead of many budget-related hearings with witnesses 

from each intelligence program, the Committee held only three, two 

of which had the new Director of National Intelligence (DNI) as the 

primary witness, and one with the Under Secretary of Defense for 

Intelligence. Despite the limited number of formal hearings, Members and Staff took dozens of briefings covering all major intelligence programs within the National Intelligence Program (NIP) 

and the Military Intelligence Program (MIP). This review covered 

all functional capabilities, such as human intelligence, signals intelligence, imagery intelligence, open source intelligence, analysis, 

counterintelligence, counternarcotics, and counterterrorism. 

As always, the Committee’s legislative and budgetary actions are 

based on more than these budget-specific hearings and briefings. 

The actions taken in this bill are the result of the Committee’s ongoing, rigorous oversight of the U.S. Intelligence Community. This 

oversight activity includes the scores of Committee and subcommittee hearings and briefings, site visits, and fact-finding trips, 

and studies of intelligence capabilities, strategies, plans, and challenges throughout the year. 

Director of National Intelligence 

As was the case for its fiscal year 2006 review, the Committee 

notes the time and attention it has devoted to the creation of an 

empowered, capable and agile U.S. Intelligence Community for the 

21st Century. Since the end of calendar year 2004 when it passed 

sweeping legislation reforming the U.S. Intelligence Community, 

the Congress, and particularly this committee, has continued to 

oversee, assist in, comment on, and as necessary, criticize the Administration’s effort to realize the goals and vision of that legislation. This oversight has focused on, but not been limited to, the 

standup of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence 

(ODNI). With the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention 

Act, the Congress intended to create a responsible authority that 

would oversee and orchestrate a coordinated effort by the entire 

Community. The Committee has concern that the DNI is pursuing 

a path that will make the ODNI less an intended ‘‘orchestration 

mechanism,’’ and more another layer of large, unintended and unnecessary bureaucracy. Despite this concern, the Committee is committed to supporting all efforts that will make the DNI successful 

in better integrating the disparate members of the Intelligence 

Community and creating the best possible intelligence capabilities 

for America. In that respect, the Committee notes, with pleasure, 

that this year’s budget request was the first that was fully determined by the DNI, and that effort by the DNI to create an IntelVerDate Aug 31 2005 06:41 Apr 07, 2006 Jkt 049006 PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR411.XXX HR411

ligence Community that is greater than the sum of its parts is beginning to bear fruit. 

The war on terrorism and the Terrorist Surveillance Program 

There is no question about the respect and admiration that this 

Committee has for the intelligence professionals that serve all of us 

in quiet, unheralded service, often in dangerous places and situations around the world. In the conduct of its oversight responsibilities, the Committee has had the opportunity to meet and work 

with intelligence professionals throughout the Community. The 

work that our intelligence personnel do is truly the first line of defense for all Americans. We owe them a great deal of gratitude, and 

we owe them every effort to give them the tools, resources, and authorities necessary to protect our nation. 

Unfortunately, these honorable men and women have been poorly served by a small few who have taken it upon themselves to, for 

political or other motives, recklessly and illegally disclose America’s 

necessary secrets and national security information. The issue of 

unauthorized disclosures of classified information has been extremely troubling and a focus of a major work effort for the Committee. The Committee has written to the President expressing its 

concern that there appears to be no reasonable expectation of consequences for those who harm America’s national security by leaking classified information. Each of these perpetrators, whether they 

provide information to the media or to sworn enemies, is committing a crime and violating an oath to which they have sworn. Further, the Committee finds reprehensible the irresponsible reporting 

of extremely sensitive national security information. Such reporting 

does not serve well the national interests, costs untold millions of 

dollars in lost intelligence collection capabilities funded by U.S. 

taxpayers, literally puts lives in jeopardy, and makes the work by 

the honorable people of our Intelligence Community far more difficult. Instead of chastising this Community for its lawful and protective efforts, we should be fully supporting them with all remedies possible to stop these unauthorized disclosures. The Committee’s work plan for this fiscal year includes reviewing all legal avenues to bring to justice those who violate the law, including those 

who knowingly receive, what is essentially, stolen classified information. 

One of the most damaging leaks of national security information 

was the revelation of the National Security Agency’s Terrorist Surveillance Program. As a direct result of this illegal compromise of 

classified information, the ability of the United States to protect 

itself from terrorists has been compromised. It can be argued that 

what factually correct information was disclosed in the press was 

done so for profit and to inflict political harm. However, beyond disclosure of the classified facts, false and reprehensible claims of improper or illegal activities are even more troubling. For example, 

the Minority, in its views accompanying this report, state that the 

President has violated the law by failing to ‘‘keep the Committee 

‘fully and currently’ informed of all intelligence activities of the 

United States.’’ In point of fact, leaders in Congress had been 

briefed more than a dozen times on the authorization and related 

activities. Further, the Attorney General and the Principal Deputy 

Director of National Intelligence briefed the full Committee at 


ycherry on PROD1PC64 with REPORTS
18 

length on the legal issues and certain operational details. What the 

Minority further continues to omit in the public version of its position is that the National Security Act of 1947 clearly provides that 

‘‘the President and the congressional intelligence committees shall 

each establish such procedures as may be necessary to carry out 

the provisions of this title’’ and that the requirement to keep the 

committees ‘‘fully and currently’’ informed is to be done ‘‘to the extent consistent with due regard for the protection from unauthorized disclosure of classified information relating to sensitive intelligence sources and methods or other exceptionally sensitive matters.’’ In full accordance with those two provisions of the law, the 

Committee has determined that the extraordinary sensitivities of 

the operational aspects of this program would be limited to select 

Members and Staff of the Committee. That procedure has allowed 

the Committee to get full and current briefings on this program to 

monitor the communications of known terrorists. Therefore, it is 

the Committee position that the President of the United States has 

in no way violated the law with respect to notifying the Congress 

on these activities. 

With respect to the Terrorist Surveillance Program, the Committee is fully supportive of this defensive measure to understand 

efforts by known Al Qaeda or its affiliates to attack America or its 

allies. The Committee’s position is taken with the full understanding that we are a nation at war. This is a global war on terrorism: a war that is not being fought primarily by conventional 

military forces on the traditional field of battle and governed by 

time-tested rules of land warfare. This is a war of asymmetry: a 

war to attack the hearts and minds of civilized nations; and a war, 

the battlefield of which, includes the homeland, something not seen 

in more than 100 years. To combat the elusive, smart, and agile 

enemy, America must think differently, act differently, and be more 

flexible. America’s major weapon in this war is the ability to create 

knowledge about the enemy. The primary responsibility to ‘‘man 

this weapon’’ rests on the Intelligence Community. We, as a nation, 

must not tie the hands of those who are charged with defending us, 

and we must at the same time, and as a culture, protect the civil 

liberties we hold dear. The Terrorist Surveillance Program is critical to our national security, and the Committee believes firmly 

that the National Security Agency program provides the proper 

balance between the two. Accordingly, the Committee’s Republican 

Majority rejected an effort by the Democratic Minority to withhold 

twenty percent of the funding for the overall operation of the National Security Agency until the Executive Branch provided cost 

data on this single, extremely small, program. The Majority found 

that it would be completely irresponsible in a time of war to withhold funding from an Intelligence Community agency that is providing real-time information on terrorists and other foreign intelligence targets in a time of war. 

Continuing Intelligence Community reform 

In the unclassified report accompanying the fiscal year 2006 legislation, the Committee commented extensively on the need for 

change within the Intelligence Community. Those comments focused on the need to respond positively to the criticisms and ‘‘failures’’ of intelligence that prompted reviews by the National ComVerDate Aug 31 2005 06:41 Apr 07, 2006 Jkt 049006 PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR411.XXX HR411

19 

mission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (9/11 Commission) and the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the 

United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD 

Commission). The Committee agreed with many of the recommendations of those commissions, stating that some of the needed changes will require cultural change and, moreover, a real need 

for the Intelligence Community to adopt a more receptive attitude 

to change. Ultimately, such will be necessary to improve the Community’s overall product—knowledge. The Committee continues to 

believe that a number of systemic and focus area changes need to 

occur, and has, once again, in this legislation attempted to put emphasis on those areas of most concern: human intelligence, intelligence analysis, community infrastructure, and counter-intelligence. 

The Committee notes that the President’s budget makes good 

progress in improving human intelligence capabilities—delivering a 

plan to increase the number of core collectors and analysts by fifty 

percent. The Committee further notes that the DNI has had some 

good success in improving long-standing analytic process and 

tradecraft problems. The Committee’s funding recommendations 

further enhances both the human intelligence and analytic areas 

by attempting to drive improved changes. With respect to infrastructure issues, the Committee is very concerned about the state 

of basic facilities and, in some cases, services throughout the Community. These include the relatively mundane, but extraordinarily 

important, things such as power and water utilities, the capacity 

of training facilities and instructors, and support to field operations. All of these supporting infrastructure functions are critical 

to collection, analysis and information dissemination, and have captured the long-term interest of the Committee. Finally, the Committee has focused attention on the issue of counterintelligence. 

There appears to be an alarming increase by nation-state and nonnation-state actors to conduct intelligence operations against the 

United States. The Committee notes that certain nations are conducting espionage efforts against this country at a level not seen 

since before the end of the Cold War. It is nearly inherent that 

when a country is, as we are, at war and focused on that war, its 

enemies will increase their intelligence efforts against it. We 

should expect this to continue as we pursue the Global War on Terrorism. This is an alarming situation, and the Committee believes 

that the Intelligence Community must refocus, and moreover, reemphasize its counter-intelligence capabilities and methodologies. 

Lastly, the Committee finds that the Intelligence Community 

must embrace more fully unconventional and open sources of information. Many estimate that large percentages of information needs 

can be satisfied by open source materials, and the Committee believes that the growth of the internet and mass media has dramatically altered the amount of information available through open and 

unconventional sources. To ignore the value of such information is 

dangerous. The Committee is, therefore, pleased that the DNI has 

moved quickly to make the use of open source (unclassified) materials an institutional imperative throughout the analytic community. However, it will take a dramatic change in cultural philosophy to trust and use open source materials that weren’t collected 

or discovered by ‘‘secret means.’’ Conversely, the Committee is not 


ycherry on PROD1PC64 with REPORTS
20 

pleased by the reticence of the Community, including the DNI, to 

more fully embrace the notion of unconventional sources of information. For example, and to its credit, the ODNI recently began releasing to the general public unclassified documents captured during Operation Iraqi Freedom. This project will allow the world community to help understand the Iraqi positions prior to the start of 

the war. Already this project has brought to light many of the intentions and efforts by the Saddam regime to hide materials from 

the United Nations inspectors and its ties with terrorists. However, 

the Committee’s effort to get these unconventionally collected materials released was not supported by the DNI until forced to do so. 

Additionally, the Community all too often appears to be less-thanenthusiastic in following up on information brought to it by people 

outside the Community, including former government officials, experts in particular fields, or even authors who have more expertise 

on specific issues than anyone within the Intelligence Community. 

The Committee finds that opportunities are lost and information 

leads on things such as possible weapons of mass destruction locations are not properly followed. This is not the hallmark of a flexible and agile-thinking intelligence function that was envisioned in 

the intelligence reform legislation. The Committee intends to monitor closely the efforts to improve the use of these open source and 

unconventional sources of information. 

The Intelligence Community today is one of transition. There is 

a continuing mission transition from old mindsets of a bipolar 

world to one of a network-based world. There is a philosophical 

transition from a DCI-centric community of disparate agencies to 

a more corporate-centric community orchestrated by the DNI. And, 

there is a need to recognize that transition ‘‘back to the basics’’ of 

good human intelligence to act as a basis for our unparalleled technical intelligence capabilities is critical. As we continue these transitions, we must recognize that there are gaps in capabilities, particularly in our ability to persistently stare at targets, which must 

be corrected. And, we must fully recognize that the need to focus 

on the issue of terrorism cannot be an excuse for not producing intelligence on the ‘‘traditional’’ foreign intelligence targets like Iran 

and North Korea, as well as the transnational problem sets, such 

as illegal narcotics and human smuggling. Some of these issues are 

specifically addressed in the ‘Areas of Special Interest/General Provisions’ section immediately following. A complete discussion of the 

Committee’s oversight findings and recommendations is contained 

in the classified annex to this report. 

B. LEGISLATION

The bill and accompanying classified Schedule of Authorizations 

includes the Committee’s recommended authorizations for the 

President’s Fiscal Year 2007 budget request. This includes an authorization for the intelligence portion of the funding for the Global 

War on Terrorism (GWOT) and operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

The Committee views these funds as an integral part of the Fiscal 

Year 2007 budget and has decided to specifically authorize these 

activities for the full year in this legislation at this time. 

H.R. 5020 provides strategic and substantial enhancements in 

funding for critical world-wide intelligence capabilities. The Committee believes there is a need to improve certain intelligence capaVerDate Aug 31 2005 06:41 Apr 07, 2006 Jkt 049006 PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR411.XXX HR411

21 

bilities, including human intelligence, counterintelligence, analysis, 

and infrastructure. For a number of reasons fully explained in the 

classified annex, the Committee has made some specific and major 

recommendations to realign funding. These changes include: • Improved U.S. human intelligence (HUMINT) activities, including training, infrastructure, and global capabilities; 

• Increased investment in analytic tools; and • Increases to U.S. counterintelligence programs and personnel. 

In addition to authorization for intelligence and intelligence-related activities, the bill includes provisions intended to clarify certain authorities of the DNI. These provisions are intended to further refine and strengthen the authorities provided to the DNI to 

oversee, coordinate, and manage Intelligence Community activities. 

Finally, just as in last year’s bill, the Committee has focused on 

the Nation’s overhead imagery architecture. Last year, a decision 

was made to terminate a part of the Future Imagery Architecture 

program. Although this tough decision had certain positive aspects, 

one disadvantage is that it is essential to ensure that there are no 

future gaps in capability. In this bill, the Committee vigorously 

urge the Intelligence Community toward one of a very limited number of options, so that the Nation will have the imagery capability 

it needs in the future. The Committee’s action in this area will 

begin a process of fundamental change for the Future Imagery Architecture program. Although the Committee expects some discomfort within the Intelligence Community with this and other provisions, it continues to agree with outside observers that the Intelligence Community appears incapable of meaningful change without significant outside assistance. The Intelligence Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2007 is intended to provide such assistance. 

C. AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST

In this section, the Committee highlights areas of concern that 

it believes must be addressed as a high priority by the Director of 

National Intelligence in leading the Intelligence Community into 

the future. 

Strategic review process 

The Committee believes that achieving the necessary reforms of 

the Intelligence Community will only occur through a strategic 

planning process. Accordingly, Section 425 of the bill requires the 

Director of National Intelligence to, in consultation with the heads 

of the Intelligence Community elements, manage and oversee the 

conduct of a strategic review to develop intelligence capabilities required to address threats to national security. 

A formalized, periodic, and structured review, much like the 

Quadrennial Defense Review process used by the Department of 

Defense, is intended to identify the breadth and depth of national 

security threats, the capabilities existing and needed to combat 

those threats, and better identify the alignment of resources, authorities, and personnel needed to support those required capabilities. Such a review will enable the Intelligence Community to more 

readily make and accept change, infuse flexibility into its management and operational structures, and enable the DNI to gain better 

insight on intelligence and intelligence-related activities throughVerDate Aug 31 2005 06:41 Apr 07, 2006 Jkt 049006 PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR411.XXX HR411

22 

out the U.S. Government. The review also is expected to influence 

the National Intelligence Strategy by examining requirements necessary to address national priorities and objectives, determine 

which intelligence disciplines can provide the best support, and 

properly identify budget resources should be allocated to those priorities and objectives. 

The Committee requests that the DNI provide the Committee 

with his plan for initiating and conducting this review. 

Reporting regarding Iran and North Korea 

The development by Iran and North Korea of nuclear, chemical, 

biological or radiological weapons and the missiles capable of delivering them are among the most significant potential threats to the 

United States. The Committee believes that it is imperative that 

the Intelligence Community continue to improve its collection and 

analysis of intelligence information on Iran and North Korea. 

This point was highlighted by the bipartisan WMD Commission. 

The Commission’s 2005 report stated: ‘‘Across the board, the Intelligence Community knows disturbingly little about the nuclear programs of the world’s most dangerous actors. In some cases, it 

knows less now than it did five or ten years ago.’’ This statement 

aptly describes the challenge faced by U.S. policymakers with regard to Iran and North Korea’s nuclear, chemical, and biological 

weapons programs. 

If the President and Congress are to develop effective policies to 

counter Iran’s and North Korea’s weapons programs, such policies 

must be based on accurate and timely intelligence. The Committee 

has conducted regular and ongoing oversight of these efforts, and 

expects the DNI to ensure that the Intelligence Community continues to provide timely, detailed, and frequent reporting on the 

current intentions and capabilities on Iran and North Korea’s nuclear, chemical, biological, radiological, and missile programs, as 

well as the Intelligence Community’s capabilities to understand 

and evaluate these programs. 

In particular, the Committee is interested in receiving on an ongoing basis: (1) current assessments of Iran’s and North Korea’s 

nuclear, chemical, biological weapons, and missile programs; (2) information on new intelligence developed, including intelligence collected from both open and clandestine sources; and (3) full discussion of any gaps in knowledge, dissents, caveats, or other information that would tend to reduce confidence in the overall assessment. 

The Committee believes that these reports will provide timely information to help better inform Congress as it is asked to make decisions regarding U.S. policy towards Iran and North Korea. 

Risk-taking and discouragement of risk averse culture 

Intelligence is an art, not a science, and therefore imperfect, and 

it takes significant time to hone the operational skills necessary to 

conduct effective intelligence operations. The Committee recognizes 

that setbacks and shortcomings are inevitable while developing and 

conducting operations, especially against extremely difficult targets. However, fear of setbacks or ‘‘failures’’ should never be a deterrent to conducting high risk, essential intelligence operations. 


ycherry on PROD1PC64 with REPORTS
23 

As the Intelligence Community increases operations in exceptionally dangerous circumstances and against unpredictable targets, 

mistakes may occur. However, the Committee believes it is more 

realistic to measure success in the effort and initiative exhibited 

and not necessarily in the interim result. Lessons learned from 

failed operations should highlight shortcomings, and changes 

should be made. Only in this way can mission success be achieved. 

Although the Committee supports the notion ‘‘failure is not an option,’’ strict adherence to such a view may contribute to the development of a risk adverse culture in which certain operations are 

not conducted because of a fear of answering for failure. Although 

the Committee is responsible for investigating intelligence failures, 

it understands that honest mistakes will be made in highly fluid 

and complex operational environments. Our Intelligence Community must constantly strive for the ‘‘perfect,’’ but be willing to accept and take responsibility for failure; we must not foster a risk 

averse society. 

The men and women of the Intelligence Community are among 

the bravest in the country, readily accepting the extreme personal 

risks inherent in their chosen profession. The Committee honors 

the sacrifices they make daily in their professional and personal 

lives and commits to the notion that honest failure is a price we 

must pay for being bold and proactive. 

Unauthorized disclosures of classified information 

As previously stated, the Committee remains gravely concerned 

with the problem of unauthorized disclosures of classified information, which harms national security, places American citizens and 

intelligence community personnel at increased risk, and inevitably 

results in substantial consequences to the United States—both tangible and intangible. 

The Committee continues to address this important issue 

through two separate endeavors. It is continuing a legislative review, including hearings, to examine relevant issues and what 

changes to the law may be desirable. Those efforts have clearly established that prosecution under current laws relating to unauthorized disclosure has not been an effective deterrent tool, although it 

remains unclear whether this lack of effectiveness requires changes 

in the law or is due to other factors. In either event, the Committee 

believes that additional and more creative steps to deter unauthorized disclosures are warranted. Section 413 of the bill is a first 

step, requiring the DNI to review whether current law or administrative authorities enable the revocation of pensions of intelligence 

community personnel who commit unauthorized disclosures of classified information. 

In addition, the Committee has initiated a review of certain specific potential unauthorized disclosures of classified information at 

the request of the Speaker of the House. That review primarily is 

concentrating on an investigation of four cases to develop a better 

understanding of the related facts and circumstances. The investigation is in turn expected to better enable the Committee to understand how and why unauthorized disclosures occur, and how the 

protection of classified information is perceived in practice. 

It is important to emphasize that the Committee’s concern is in 

no way intended to limit or reduce proper oversight of intelligence 


ycherry on PROD1PC64 with REPORTS
24 

community activities or of activities with heightened potential to 

affect civil liberties. As one of the primary bodies intended to conduct oversight of intelligence activities on behalf of the American 

people, we are mindful of the need for ongoing and thorough review 

of such activities. However, the delicate balance between protecting 

national security and safeguarding civil liberties must be carried 

out in a manner that fully protects both interests, through mechanisms such as regular reporting to the congressional intelligence 

committees and the use of the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act. By definition, no individual—whether a journalist, government official, or intelligence community employee—

can or should singlehandedly presume to determine what information ‘‘deserves’’ to be withheld from disclosure in order to protect 

national security, especially without full knowledge of the surrounding context. 

Prosecution of espionage 

Investigators, analysts, inspectors, and prosecutors from the Departments of Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security are working 

together in an effort to combat espionage. The Committee is 

pleased to note that since 2005, their combined efforts have resulted in the arrest of at least ten individuals in the United States 

accused of spying on behalf of a number of foreign countries. 

The Committee is concerned, however, that these individuals will 

face relatively light sentences if found guilty. All of them are 

charged under 18 U.S.C. § 793 (gathering, transferring, or losing 

defense information) or 18 U.S.C. § 951 (agents of foreign governments), which carry penalties of no more than ten years imprisonment. The Committee notes that most, if not all, were not charged 

under 18 U.S.C. § 794 (gathering or delivering defense information 

to aid foreign governments), which carries penalties ranging from 

life imprisonment to death. The Committee also notes that some of 

these individuals stand accused of stealing defense-related trade 

secrets from U.S. companies. However, none of these suspects were 

charged with violating 18 U.S.C. § 1831 (economic espionage), 

which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years imprisonment for 

stealing trade secrets to benefit a foreign government. 

The Committee believes that the penalties facing these accused 

spies are not an effective deterrent to espionage. Americans tempted to spy on behalf of a foreign power should understand clearly 

that doing so will have extremely negative consequences, resulting 

in their arrest, conviction, and long-term imprisonment. 

The Committee notes the effective work of Justice Department 

prosecutors, but encourages the Attorney General to review the Department’s counterespionage strategies. The review should address 

the following questions: Is the current strategy an effective deterrent to espionage? Are those convicted of espionage and related 

charges receiving the punishment they deserve? Why are more 

spies not charged under 18 U.S.C. § 794 and § 1831? Would stricter 

penalties for violating 18 U.S.C. § 793 act as a better deterrent to 

espionage? The Committee expects the Attorney General to update 

it periodically on the status of such a review.

Counterintelligence field activity 

The Committee remains concerned about improper instances of 

maintaining information regarding U.S. persons at the Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA) within the Department of Defense, and believes it is important to highlight the incident as well 

as the corrective actions promptly taken by the Department to address those practices. 

CIFA was established to bring leadership to counterintelligence 

efforts within the Department. The counterintelligence mission involves the identification and neutralization of the pervasive foreign 

intelligence and terrorism threat directed globally against the Department of Defense and the U.S. Government. CIFA is responsible 

for overseeing counterintelligence investigations, operations, and 

services within the Department; overseeing and conducting joint CI 

advanced training and analyzing counterintelligence information to 

identify and target the threat in our increasingly complex and 

asymmetrical world. 

In the course of gathering information believed to relate to force 

protection, CIFA improperly collected and retained information on 

U.S. persons engaged in constitutionally-protected protests at the 

University of California. In response to a congressional inquiry, the 

Department of Defense acknowledged that CIFA failed to follow 

policies regarding the collection and retention of information about 

U.S. persons. These failures were especially troubling in light of 

CIFA’s important mission to set the standards while protecting the 

Constitutional rights of American citizens. 

The Department of Defense subsequently has assessed that approximately 260 records out of 13,000 records in a classified CIFA 

database, or two percent of the total, improperly contained information relating to U.S. persons. Department leadership has responded 

to this assessment and directed that the database should be used 

only to report information regarding possible international terrorist 

activity, required supervisors to review all reports before inclusion 

in the database, and provided for refresher training for Department 

personnel on what information properly may be included in the 

database. 

The Committee understands that the Department of Defense Inspector General is in the process of preparing a report addressing 

at least some of these issues. The Committee requests that the Inspector General submit no later than February 1, 2007 a report 

which includes the results of any audits relating to CIFA including 

but not limited to the collection, retention, and dissemination of information relating to U.S. persons. In addition, the Department of 

Defense shall submit no later than February 1, 2007, a report containing the results of any internal department review or investigation of policies, guidelines, and practices of CIFA related to the collection, retention, and dissemination of information relating to U.S. 

persons, as well as a description of remedial actions taken to address the findings and recommendations of the Inspector General 

and any other internal review. 

Intelligence support for transformational diplomacy strategy 

The Secretary of State has launched a major initiative to reposition U.S. diplomatic personnel across the world. This includes moving hundreds of positions to critical emerging areas in Africa, 


ycherry on PROD1PC64 with REPORTS
26 

South Asia, East Asia, and the Middle East over the next several 

years. This year alone, the Department will move approximately 

100 positions out of Washington and European capitals. Enhancements to the Department’s ability to monitor Iran—through the establishment of a new Office of Iranian Affairs and the creation of 

Iran ‘‘watcher’’ positions in Dubai, London, Frankfurt, and other 

capitals—represent perhaps the most dramatic, and most critical, 

elements of this transformation. 

Such a major realignment of strategic priorities and of diplomats 

working on the ‘‘front lines’’ may require a significant shift in intelligence support provided to Department policymakers by the Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR). To its credit, INR analysts 

have worked on their areas of expertise longer, on average, than 

many of their colleagues in other agencies, and INR has one of the 

lowest personnel turnover rates in the Intelligence Community. 

However, the long tenure and low turnover of INR analysts may 

make it difficult for the Bureau to adjust to changing priorities. 

This Committee has previously urged the Department to increase 

the resources provided to INR, which has remained relatively constant in recent years. Given the proposed transformations to the 

Department’s overall strategy, the Committee strongly encourages 

the Secretary of State to examine INR’s current allocation of 

human and financial resources to ensure that INR will be able to 

adequately support the Department’s new strategic priorities. 

Director of National Intelligence Office of the Inspector General 

Section 1078 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 provided the Director of National Intelligence with 

the authority to establish an Office of the Inspector General. On 

September 7, 2005, the DNI established such an office, ‘‘charged 

with detecting fraud, waste, and abuse; evaluating performance; 

and making recommendations to promote economy, efficiency, and 

effectiveness in the ODNI and the Intelligence Community.’’ Although the Committee supports the DNI’s desire to have an Office 

of the Inspector General, it is concerned that it is currently chartered in a way that does not ensure the maximum utility of that 

office to act as a coordinating organization for all Intelligence Community Inspector Generals, specifically with regard to keeping the 

Committee informed of its activities and findings. 

As an example, the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act provided that any Office of the Inspector General created 

by the DNI would have the duties, responsibilities, and authorities 

contained in the Inspector General Act of 1978. That law requires 

each Inspector General to prepare semi-annual reports summarizing the activities of the office during the preceding six month period, which are to be forwarded to the agency head and transmitted 

to the appropriate committees of Congress. The DNI instruction 

calls for only an annual report, and makes no reference to a copy 

being provided to Congress. 

The Inspector General Act also requires those offices to keep 

Congress and the appropriate Committees fully and currently informed about problems and deficiencies it discovers as well as the 

necessity for and progress of corrective action. The Committee is 

concerned that the structure for congressional interaction with the 

DNI Inspector General outlined in the September 2005 Instruction 


ycherry on PROD1PC64 with REPORTS
27 

is overly restrictive of the flow of information to the Committee. 

The Instruction states: 

The Inspector General shall notify the DNI and the Director, Office of Legislative Affairs, of any request from the 

intelligence committees or any other committee or subcommittee of the Congress for any report or findings and 

recommendations of any inspection, investigation, audit, or 

other inquiry conducted by the Inspector General, and 

after consultation with the DNI, prepare an appropriate 

response to any such request. 

It is unclear what role the Office of Legislative Affairs plays in 

these transactions, and the Committee envisions scenarios where it 

may be appropriate for direct interaction between the Committee 

and the Inspector General, as currently practiced with the Inspectors General from the Central Intelligence Agency and others. 

Another area of Committee concern deals with the DNI’s authority to direct the Inspector General not to initiate, carry out, or complete any review without notification to Congress. While other Inspectors General within the Intelligence Community operate subject to similar authority, there is also the requirement for a notification to Congress on the use of such authority. That requirement 

calls for statements to be submitted by both the affected Inspector 

General and the official who exercised the authority. The DNI’s 

September 2005 Instruction has no such provision for Congressional notification. 

One final area of concern relates to the reporting of ‘‘urgent concerns’’ from whistleblowers, and ‘‘particularly serious or flagrant’’

issues. In 1998, Congress created special whistleblower protections 

and procedures applicable within the Intelligence Community. The 

September 2005 Instruction makes reference to the DNI’s Inspector 

General conducting reviews based on information from employees 

or contractors of the ODNI or any element of the intelligence community and states that they should ‘‘be subject to, and in accordance with, DNI policy and regulations concerning whistleblower 

protection.’’ However, it is unclear that these policies and regulations conform to existing law governing whistleblower protection 

and notification to Congress. 

The Committee notes also that the CIA’s Inspector General is required to report immediately to the Director of that agency ‘‘whenever he becomes aware of particularly serious or flagrant problems, 

abuses, or deficiencies relating to the administration of programs 

and operations.’’ The Director is to transfer such reports to the 

Committee within seven calendar days. The Committee believes 

that similarly prompt reporting of issues identified by the DNI Inspector General is necessary. 

In order to strengthen the foundation on which the DNI Office 

of Inspector General was created and to ensure that the appropriate oversight committees receive the maximum utility from its 

efforts, the Committee requests that within 180 days of enactment 

of this legislation the DNI issue an updated notification that incorporates elements of the Inspector General Act and the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 that relate to Congressional notification and whistleblower protections.

Enterprise architecture 

The Committee continues to believe that well-formed and successfully executed Enterprise Architecture (EA) frameworks in individual intelligence agencies and across the Intelligence Community 

will ensure more reliable Information Technology (IT) financial 

management and planning. These EA structures guide the IT 

budget and decisionmaking processes, which in turn should facilitate informed strategic investments and unified controls. This belief led in large part to the inclusion of responsibilities relating to 

EA for the Intelligence Community Chief Information Officer (CIO) 

and other responsible officials in the Intelligence and Terrorism 

Prevention Act of 2004. 

In 2005, the Committee noted its view that ‘‘the IC would benefit 

greatly by undertaking a formal IC-wide EA effort, as this process 

would take these ‘linkages’ and fuse them together across the community in the form of standard business, performance, data and information, service component, and technical models.’’ H. Rept. 108– 558, at 35. The Committee also directed that the Intelligence Community CIO in conjunction with the agency level CIOs to ‘‘draft the 

implementation plan for an IC-wide EA, which will conform the 

agencies’ EAs to the broader IC strategy. * * *’’ The Committee 

understands that the creation and implementation of these EA 

frameworks is ongoing and urges the DNI to continue to work collaboratively with the Intelligence Community agencies to ensure 

that these are completed within the timeframe prescribed. The 

Committee directs that the fiscal year 2008 National Intelligence 

Program and Military Intelligence Program budgets tie all IT 

spending to their respective EA frameworks at both the agencylevel and Intelligence Community-wide. 

Space acquisition programs—personnel 

There is a general acknowledgement that the U.S. space acquisition programs at the National Reconnaissance Office and the Space 

and Missile Systems Center are in trouble. Simply put, expensive 

and complex acquisition endeavors always take longer, and therefore end up costing more than the initial estimates. Unanticipated 

delays can cause budgetary problems for other Intelligence Community programs, particularly when competition for resources 

leaves very little reserve to absorb unplanned cost overruns. 

The Committee is interested in promoting greater continuity of 

personnel assigned to intelligence-related acquisition programs. It 

is not uncommon for space acquisition programs to take ten years, 

beginning with concept exploration, then developing an acquisition 

strategy, performing the source selection, and ultimately developing, launching, initializing, and operating the system (which can 

last decades). A seasoned acquisition professional will experience 

the interdependencies of all of these phases, and more importantly, 

gains an understanding of how the consequences of decisions made 

in any one phase ultimately affect the following phases. The Committee notes that previous personnel policies allowed uniformed 

military officers to remain assigned to NRO programs for the entire 

duration of an acquisition—in fact many Air Force officers made an 

entire career in the NRO. These extended assignments contributed 

to a sense of ownership, dedication, and commitment that is immeasurable and invaluable. 


ycherry on PROD1PC64 with REPORTS
29 

As anecdotally suggested, today’s two-year rotational assignments do not provide an effective environment for successful space 

acquisitions. The Committee understands the military’s desire to 

develop future leaders that have a breadth of experience, including 

experience focused in space related assignments. However, the 

Committee believes the mission to provide effective space acquisition professionals and to deliver these critical systems to the country far outweigh the need to develop well-rounded senior officers 

who are generalists. 

Simply put, complex space systems acquisition requires extraordinarily specialized knowledge, skills, and dedicated effort overtime. This specialty deserves a focused, protected, long-term career 

status. The Committee believes that recreating a protected career 

field that focuses on acquisition of space systems is a key to fixing 

the underlying problems with our space developments. 

Further, the Committee believes that current personnel assignment policies should be improved to allow space acquisition professionals to obtain greater experience and technical depth. Today’s 

policies place a high degree of importance on rotational assignments to obtain broad experience. This model leads to high turnover rate in personnel and impedes military officers from developing the technical expertise required to manage complex space 

programs. In contrast, civilian acquisition personnel career progression is rooted in specific program management experience and a 

high degree of relevant continuing education. The Committee believes that such longer-term assignments for military officers would 

provide the acquisition professionals with more experience, with 

better judgment, and result in more personal commitment to success, than the current short rotational assignments. 

Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in cooperation with the Director of National Reconnaissance Office and 

the Secretary of the Air Force, to commission a study to determine 

the value and feasibility of establishing a protected career service 

for space acquisition professionals (similar to the JAG or Medical 

Corps) and how such a policy can be implemented. The Committee 

directs that the report be delivered to the congressional intelligence 

committees no later than 120 days after enactment of this legislation. 

D. CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT REFORM

Many of the studies and reports that have emphasized the need 

for reform within various federal departments and agencies have 

also highlighted the need to modernize congressional oversight. The 

Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks 

Upon the United States (‘‘9/11 Commission’’) labeled congressional 

oversight of intelligence ‘‘dysfunctional’’ (p. 420). Many of the criticisms can be summarized by stating that ‘‘Congress is engaged in 

too much of the wrong kind of oversight—too few national debates 

on major issues and far too much time and energy being spent on 

relatively minor and parochial issues.’’ (Center for Strategic and 

International Studies, Beyond Goldwater-Nichols: Defense Reform 

for a New Strategic Era, March 2004.)

struction (WMD Commission) to improve congressional oversight 

include: 

Both the House and the Senate intelligence committees 

have indicated their intention to establish oversight subcommittees. But these subcommittees will not improve intelligence if they simply demand additional testimony from 

top intelligence officials on the crisis or scandal of the day. 

We suggest that, if created, the oversight subcommittees 

limit their activities to ‘‘strategic oversight,’’ meaning they 

would set an agenda at the start of the year or session of 

Congress, based on top priorities such as information sharing, and stick to that agenda. (p. 338). 

Encourage more informal discussions and collaboration 

between the Intelligence Community and its congressional 

overseers. (p. 340). 

The Committee takes such recommendations seriously and is determined to improve congressional oversight for the benefit of our 

national goals. At the beginning of the 109th Congress, the Committee created the Subcommittee on Oversight, which is specifically 

charged with conducting strategic oversight. Among the subject 

areas assigned to the Subcommittee are the responsibility for overseeing implementation of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism 

Prevention Act, including the creation of the office of DNI, and specific oversight emphasis items, such as information sharing, unauthorized disclosures of classified information, intelligence analysis, 

and information assurance. This subcommittee has taken a number 

of steps to improve congressional oversight, including developing 

performance criteria to measure Intelligence Community progress 

and studying the practice of Congressionally Directed Actions. 

Metrics within the intelligence community 

To facilitate increased oversight, the Committee has placed special attention on the development of objective oversight metrics. 

Few organizations outside of government do not use objective 

measurements as a tool to gauge success and to track progress. 

Many government organizations, even without the profit motive, 

have found effective ways to measure progress and improvement 

through objective measurements. For example, some agencies have 

developed measurements to track use of their products and modify 

them when customers aren’t using them. 

Logically, every intelligence agency should use some set of 

metrics as a management tool. Correspondingly, the Committee in 

its oversight role needs to have a useful set of metrics, likely somewhat different than those used by program managers, to evaluate 

the productivity of the Community. The standards should not be 

too different, however, because all branches of the U.S. Government should be working toward the same goal. 

The Director of the National Quality Program at the National Institute of Standards and Technology observed that ‘‘We generally 

measure the easy, rather than the important. The challenge is to 

define the important.’’ The Committee seeks to work in partnership 

with the Intelligence Community to jointly identify and understand 

what is important—or at least that which points to the important. 

A former Speaker of the House has noted that ‘‘It’s what you inVerDate Aug 31 2005 06:41 Apr 07, 2006 Jkt 049006 PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR411.XXX HR411

31 

spect, not what you expect’’ that drives what agencies do in response to oversight. The Committee is not interested in receiving 

reporting merely for the sake of reporting or in creating data for 

its own end. 

Any effective measurements should be tied to clear goals and objectives. As illustrated by the observation ‘‘if you don’t know where 

you’re going, any road will get you there,’’ it will be hard to measure progress without understanding what the Intelligence Community needs to achieve and where it needs to go. Once the Community and Congress clearly understand those objectives they can determine how to measure and understand what is aiding or hindering progress on important issues. The Committee seeks to work 

closely with leaders of the Intelligence Community and develop 

meaningful metrics to measure the progress in reforming intelligence and improving important processes within the Intelligence 

Community. 

The Subcommittee on Oversight has conducted an intensive review with outside experts. In particular, the Committee has reviewed the Baldridge review process and notes that significant improvements have taken place in companies and government agencies that have participated in the process. The Committee encourages the DNI to review this process and determine how it could be 

adapted and implemented within the Intelligence Community. 

Congressionally directed actions 

Historically, the Committee has included congressionally directed 

actions (CDAs) as part of the report language of yearly Intelligence 

Authorization Acts as a way to direct specific actions or to formally 

obtain information that could not be obtained through other means. 

CDAs also spark debate on key issues or gaps that, in the Committee’s opinion, are not receiving the required attention of Intelligence Community agencies, leadership, and management. However, the Committee believes that responses to CDAs often do not 

satisfy the intent of the request, do not include a sufficient level 

of detail, and may not be properly used when received. 

In the recent past, neither the Intelligence Community nor the 

Committee have had consistent processes in place to track, review 

or provide feedback on congressionally directed actions. Now is the 

time to improve the quality of both CDA tasking and their responses. It is the Committee’s intent to move CDA reporting from 

the insufficient, resource draining exercise it has often been to the 

worthwhile information exchange it was intended to be. The Committee hopes to increase the quality of CDA responses from the Intelligence Community and decrease duplication or unnecessary reporting requirements tasked to the Intelligence Community. 

The Committee notes that some CDAs are the result of internal 

congressional compromises or carry annual reporting requirements 

without sunset provisions, resulting in a growing list of required 

reports that may have lost relevance. For instance, in the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000, the President is required to submit annual reports on the Public Identification of Significant Foreign Narcotics Traffickers. The Committee is at a loss 

as to why it currently needs specific reporting of the names of convicted narcotics traffickers, especially when other processes are in 

place to ensure proper efforts are undertaken against such trafVerDate Aug 31 2005 06:41 Apr 07, 2006 Jkt 049006 PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR411.XXX HR411

32 

fickers. More broadly, the Intelligence Community currently must 

answer 72 annual CDAs, in addition to those newly assigned each 

year. Many contain useful information needed to perform the Committee’s oversight responsibilities. Fiscal Year 2005 marked a high 

point for CDA tasking in the past ten years, with the Intelligence 

Community answering 248, while in Fiscal Year 2006 the Intelligence Community was tasked with 197 CDAs. 

In the spirit of congressional oversight reform, the Committee 

would like to establish uniform procedures with respect to CDAs. 

For example, the Committee may agree that a briefing would satisfy certain CDA requests where that format is most conductive to 

the exchange of information. In addition, the Subcommittee on 

Oversight is conducting a thorough review of all annual reporting 

requirements to assess the usefulness and the cost to prepare the 

other reports now required. As a result of an initial review, the 

Committee-reported bill repeals provisions of law requiring several 

of these annual reports. It is a good beginning. 

The Committee would like to acknowledge the work put into 

CDA responses by the Intelligence Community workforce, and by 

the ODNI to ensure that all CDAs are answered in a timely, worthwhile manner. Going forward, it is in the best interest of our national security to minimize duplication and waste in all areas, and 

the Committee sees the clarification and restructuring of CDAs as 

a perfect opportunity.

Enclosure. 

H.R. 5020—Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 

H.R. 5020 would authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2007 for 

intelligence activities of the U.S. government, the Intelligence Community Management Account, and the Central Intelligence Agency 

Retirement and Disability System (CIARDS). 

This estimate addresses only the unclassified portion of the bill. 

On that limited basis, CBO estimates that implementing certain 

provisions of the bill would cost $550 million in 2007 and just 

under $1 billion over the 2007–2011 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary funds, as shown in the following table. 

By fiscal year, in millions of dollars— 

2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 

CHANGES IN SPENDING SUBJECT TO APPROPRIATIONS 1

Intelligence Community Management Account: 

Authorization Level ............................................................................... 990 0 0 0 0 

Estimated Outlays ................................................................................ 545 347 69 20 9 

CIARDS: 2

Estimated Authorization Level ............................................................. 5 0 0 0 0 

Estimated Outlays ................................................................................ 5 0 0 0 0 

Total Changes: 

Estimated Authorization Level ............................................................. 995 0 0 0 0 

Estimated Outlays ................................................................................ 550 347 69 20 0 

1 In addition to effects on spending subject to appropriation, H.R. 5020 would affect direct spending. However, CBO cannot estimate those 

effects because the data needed to prepare an estimate are classified. 2 CBO’s March 2006 baseline assumes a mandatory appropriation of $251 million in 2007 for CIARDS. H.R. 5020 would provide an authorization of $256 million for that year. 

Section 104 would authorize the appropriation of $990 million for 

the Intelligence Community Management Account, which provides 

the principal source of funding for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and provides resources for coordination of programs, budget oversight, and management of the intelligence agencies. CBO estimates that implementing this provision would cost 

$545 million in 2007 and $980 million over the 2007–2011 period, 

assuming appropriation of the specified amounts. 

Section 201 would authorize a mandatory appropriation of $256 

million to CIARDS to cover retirement costs attributable to military service and various unfunded liabilities. This authorization is 

above CBO’s March 2006 baseline and would increase outlays by 

$5 million in 2007 over that baseline, assuming appropriation of 

the authorized amount. 

Section 305 would authorize elements of the Intelligence Community to accept and spend reimbursements from private parties and 

employees of the Intelligence Community who damage equipment 

purchased through appropriated funds or default on the terms of 

any form of education assistance provided by such elements. Since 

these reimbursements would otherwise be returned to the Treasury, this section would affect direct spending. However, CBO cannot provide an estimate as the data necessary to estimate the impact of this provision are classified. 

The unclassified sections of this bill contain no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, 

local, or tribal governments.

MINORITY VIEWS 

In considering the Intelligence Authorization for fiscal year 2007, 

we are mindful of the bravery and sacrifice of the women and men 

who serve in U.S. intelligence agencies, often under-cover and usually in some of the most dangerous corners of the world. We have 

visited those dangerous corners, and appreciate the risks that these 

professionals take for our freedom. 

Because the budget authorized by HR 5020 is classified—and 

therefore shielded from public scrutiny—four Committee’s oversight 

must be all-the-more rigorous. 

Certain features in the bill are worthy of special emphasis. 

First, HR 5020 contained a provision to limit the overhead 

growth of the Office of the DNI (ODNI) absent a strategy from the 

DNI on how its requirements for additional funds and personnel 

would bring value to the management of the intelligence community. We want the ODNI to become a joint commander of the 16 

intelligence agencies, not another bureaucracy, seeking more billets 

and buildings. 

Second, the bill provides full-funding for counterterrorism. The 

President’s budget had only requested 78% of what the intelligence 

community says it will need for counterterrorism operations in fiscal year 2007. That request was inadequate—and dangerous. Relying on supplemental funding for counterterrorism prevents operations in the field from planning operations, and it virtually eliminates this Committee’s ability to conduct oversight over those 

funds. For years since 9–11, we have underscored the need to fully 

fund counterterrorism. This Authorization bill now does that. 

Third, we are also pleased the Chairman has agreed to include, 

in the report to accompany HR 5020, enhanced reporting requirements on a number of key topics. This includes the domestic surveillance activities of the Department of Defense Counter Intelligence Field Activity (CIFA), as well as intelligence assessments 

on the WMD capabilities and intentions of Iran and North Korea— two countries where we must get it right. 

Despite these attributes, the bill would have been stronger if it 

included three Amendments offered by Democratic members. 

Representatives Hastings, Reyes and Holt offered an amendment 

to require a dedicated funding line for the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board in the President’s annual budget submission to Congress, and to authorize $3 million annually for the Board’s 

activities. 

The Board was created by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism 

Prevention Act, which was signed into law in December 2004. This 

Board was designed to serve as a civil liberties ‘‘watchdog’’ as the 

American people grow increasingly concerned about the potential 

erosion of Constitutional rights in the post-911 era. Fifteen months 

later, the Board is barely up and running. The President did not 


ycherry on PROD1PC64 with REPORTS
72 

nominate the members of the Board for 9 months, and the Senate 

took five months to confirm the Chair and Vice Chair. In addition, 

the Administration budget request did not include a request for 

funds for the Board in fiscal year 2007. 

The Hastings/Reyes/Holt Amendment would have sent an unmistakable signal that this Board deserves dedicated resources to 

carry out its vital mission. Unfortunately, the amendment was 

voted down on a party-line vote (10–8). 

Representative Eshoo offered an amendment to fence, or withhold, 20% of the NSA’s budget until the Executive Branch provides 

the Committee with the total cost of the President’s NSA surveillance program. 

The Eshoo Amendment was a modest, narrowly-tailored amendment. It would not have required the Administration to provide the 

full Committee with operational details about the program (although we believe the President is required to do so.) Nor would 

the Amendment have passed judgment on the legality of the program. The amendment simply asked for financial data, so that 

members casting a vote to authorize the budget would know how 

much money was dedicated to the program. 

The Eshoo Amendment was defeated 10 to 8, with all Minority 

members and one Majority member voting for it. By defeating this 

amendment, the Majority members refused to employ a common 

oversight tool (a fence of funds) employed 14 other times in the 

bill’s Annex—to require the President to tell the Committee how 

much this program has and will cost the American taxpayer. We 

strongly urge the full Committee to continue to seek this information. 

Third, Representatives Tierney, Boswell and Holt offered an 

amendment to prevent the DNI from transferring budget and personnel related to national intelligence functions out of the National 

Intelligence Program (NIP) to the Military Intelligence Program 

(MIP). We believe these transfers are demonstrative of a lack of 

strong community leadership further compounded by a culture of 

resistance to change. If left unchecked, this could render DNI ineffectual and powerless to integrate intelligence efforts to respond to 

emerging crises. 

The Tierney/Boswell/Holt Amendment was defeated 10 to 7. In 

defeating this Amendment, the Committee missed an opportunity 

to prevent the dismantling of statutory authorities of the DNI and 

the ceding of key budget authorities over large numbers of intelligence personnel and resources to the Pentagon. 

Throughout the mark-up, Members expressed their views on a 

variety of topics of relating to the intelligence community. Perhaps 

no topic received more attention than the President’s NSA surveillance program. 

We strongly support intercepting the communications of Al 

Qaeda into and out of the United States. This capability is vital. 

However, we have become deeply concerned that the Executive 

Branch is engaging in two violations of law with respect to the 

NSA program. 

First, in failing to brief the entire Committee on the operational 

details of the Program, the President is violating the National Security Act—which requires that the President shall keep the ComVerDate Aug 31 2005 06:35 Apr 07, 2006 Jkt 049006 PO 00000 Frm 00072 Fmt 6604 Sfmt 6604 E:\HR\OC\HR411.XXX HR411

mittee ‘‘currently and fully’’ informed of all intelligence activities of 

the United States. Failure to brief the full Committee compromises 

our oversight and is a violation of law. 

Second, eavesdropping on U.S. persons must fully comply with 

Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Nobody has yet persuaded us why FISA, as currently drafted, cannot cover the entire 

Program. The law is unambiguous—all eavesdropping on Americans in America must comply with FISA. 

Allowing the NSA surveillance program to proceed without fully 

complying with the law threatens to undermine our entire Constitutional order—our system of checks and balances. As Justice 

O’Connor wrote in the Hamdi case, ‘‘We have long since made clear 

that a state of war is not a blank check for the President when it 

comes to the rights of the Nation’s citizens.’’ In authorizing the activities of the U.S. intelligence community 

today, we are mindful of the words of Justice O’Connor and the solemn duty our Committee has to uphold the rule of law and the values we cherish as a nation—for that is ultimately what our brave 

intelligence professionals are fighting so hard to defend.
