Senate Panel Approves CIA Oversight Plan With Amendments
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a 14 to 5 measure creating a nine member intelligence oversight panel to supervise CIA operations. Chief sponsor Eugene McCarthy said action could come before session end, but faces opposition from Richard Russell who leads Armed Services. The proposal would place three Foreign Relations members on the new watchdog, reshaping the current seven member panel. The next step is Rules Committee deliberation, where a majority could block the measure. If brought to the floor, Russell’s influence may stall passage.
