NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE REORGANIZATION AND REFORM ACT OF 1978

TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 1978

Intelligence activities have functioned since the end of World War II without the benefit of clear legislative authorities or limitations, and without an effective oversight system. It is the intention of the committee to hold most, if not all, of these hearings in public. We shall
