The most outrageous of em all.
Senate
approves
intelligence
bill 89-1
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate
passed a bill yesterday requiring U.S.
intelligence agencies to share infor-
mation with Congress about major
spying and covert operations overseas
and in the United States.
The vote was 89 to 1 with Sen. William
Proxmire (D-Wis.) casting the only
"no" vote. The measure now goes to the
House.
The bill also reduces the number of
committees to - which the intelligence
agencies must report from eight to two
and writes into law the actual practices
of congressional oversight of the in-
telligence community developed in the
last four years.
BUT IT represents, in effect, the
temporary abandonment of efforts to
write a comprehensive charter for the
Central Intelligence Agency and other
intelligence units because of a failure to
reach agreement on its contents.
Sen. Birch Bayh (D-Ind.), chairman
of the Senate Intelligence Committee,
said it is a situation "where a quarter-
loaf is better than no loaf at all."
He and other committee members
said efforts will continue to complete a
charter which will, in Bayh's word',
"place the intelligence community on
the firmest possible constitutional
foundation."
The bill changes the so-called
Hughes-Ryan amendment to make the
Intelligence committees of the Senate
and House the official watchdogs of the
intelligence community. The move
would greatly restrict the number of
congressmen privy to intelligence
secrets.
Previously, the CIA was required to
report to the foreign affairs, defense
and appropriations committees of the
House and Senate as well as the in-
telligence committees.
The measure expands the
requirement for reporting intelligence
operations, including operations in the
United States as well as abroad.
