Senator says Ford increases CIA power
Senator Frank Church chairing the Senate intelligence panel says President Ford's intelligence reforms give the CIA a bigger shield and longer sword to operate at home and abroad. He argues executive orders expand protections for the spy agencies while offering little to protect constitutional rights and curb abuses. Church also opposes a proposal punishing government employees who reveal classified information, urging a narrowly defined bill instead.
