Washington UPI reporters say Rep. Sisk plans to abolish the House select committee on intelligence amid Democratic dissention over chairman Nedzi. He suggests transferring authority to the Judiciary Committee or creating a new three to six month panel focused solely on the CIA.

Legislature Should Look To Its Own Conscience
Cox of the State Personnel Commission urged Idaho lawmakers to examine their own conscience amid criticism of merit system reforms.
