Talk:Hughes–Ryan Amendment

message: An amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, requiring the President to report any non-intelligence CIA operations (i.e. covert actions) to relevant Congressional committee (at the time this numbered around 8 committees) in a timely fashion.
This amendment addressed the question of CIA covert actions and prohibited the use of appropriated funds for their conduct unless and until the President "finds" that each such operation is important to the national security and submits this Finding to the appropriate Congressional committees--a total of six committees. (This grew to eight committees after the House and Senate intelligence committees were established.)
The objective of this act was to ensure that the responsible intelligence oversight committees within Congress were properly informed of covert actions in a reasonable period of time.

thread_title: Arbitrary section header

message: Alrihgt, here is my last plea. Do not remove content just because it appears to be mostly comment. Rather, use your brain, read it thouroughly and edit it. There's a reason why it's called edit this page. Just because one sentence in a paragraph is copied, don't delete the whole thing. Wikipedia:Copyrights clearly states "If some of the content of a page really is an infringement, then the infringing content should be removed". The only case where you should remove ALL content is if the entire thing is a clear and cut copyright violation. Also, if you take an idea and rewrite it (i.e. put some creative effort into it) then it is no longer a CP. The next time you observe a CP, do not just delete it right away. Read it and see if there's a better way to summarise it and then fix it. Deleting it is a last resort. I'm pretty sure the policy on this is very clear. Remember: don't just go around deleting stuff. That's counter-productive to what Wikipedia is trying to accomplish in the long run (i.e. store as much encyclopedic information as possible). Sasquatcht|c 21:27, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Deleted unreferenced sentence

message: There now exists a duplicate article I created called the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974.  The Hughes-Ryan act, near as I can tell, was actually jusy one of the many ammendments included in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974.  The article here is far more expansive and has more content.  However I think the correct name of the article should be "foreign assistance act of 1974" with all this content in a section under the Hughes-Ryan ammendment.  I would welcome comment from anyone more knowledgable on this subject than I, but this seems to be a seldom-visited part of the wiki, and if nobody else has offered input in the coming days/few weeks I will just do the research as best I can and make the move/merge on my own.
