House Plans New Investigative Panel On Intelligence Probes
The House is set to appoint a new investigative panel after rejecting efforts to abolish or replace the current committee.

The Washington Post also reports Army and University of Maryland tests on mind altering drugs in the late 1950s to assess wartime use.
