Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper offers an alternative to the conventional wisdom about early congressional oversight of the CIA. It focuses on congressional structures, how they influenced the development of intelligence oversight, the intelligence politics that grew out of these structures and the growth in congressional interest in CIA’s analysis and collection. Moving beyond questions about whether intelligence oversight was sufficient, this paper shows how CIA analysis and collection became an input for legislative decision-making through oversight and highlights the key role congressional staff played in overseeing the CIA. It also examines how Congress used Agency information to check or support the executive branch, as well as how the executive branch influenced congressional oversight development.

期刊介绍： Intelligence has never played a more prominent role in international politics than it does now in the early years of the twenty-first century. National intelligence services are larger than ever, and they are more transparent in their activities in the policy making of democratic nations. Intelligence and National Security is widely regarded as the world''s leading scholarly journal focused on the role of intelligence and secretive agencies in international relations. It examines this aspect of national security from a variety of perspectives and academic disciplines, with insightful articles research and written by leading experts based around the globe. Among the topics covered in the journal are: • the historical development of intelligence agencies • representations of intelligence in popular culture • public understandings and expectations related to intelligence • intelligence and ethics • intelligence collection and analysis • covert action and counterintelligence • privacy and intelligence accountability • the outsourcing of intelligence operations • the role of politics in intelligence activities • international intelligence cooperation and burden-sharing • the relationships among intelligence agencies, military organizations, and civilian policy departments. Authors for Intelligence and National Security come from a range of disciplines, including international affairs, history, sociology, political science, law, anthropology, philosophy, medicine, statistics, psychology, bio-sciences, and mathematics. These perspectives are regularly augmented by research submitted from current and former intelligence practitioners in several different nations. Each issue features a rich menu of articles about the uses (and occasional misuses) of intelligence, supplemented from time to time with special forums on current intelligence issues and interviews with leading intelligence officials.
