Senators compromise on spy panel
Senators reached a compromise to create a new Senate intelligence committee with exclusive jurisdiction over the CIA while sharing authority over the FBI and military intelligence with existing committees. The panel would include members from four current panels and nine outside members, with nine year terms for senators and joint budgeting with the Appropriations Committee. If the new panel voted to release secrets against the President, the matter would be decided by the full Senate in closed session.
