In fact, it is my expectation that the President will soon announce
his decisions on how he has decided the intelligence agencies of the
United States shall be organized. This committee will be working
closely with the President and Admiral Turner in placing this new
structure under the law and to develop effective oversight procedures.
It is clear that effective oversight requires that information must
be full and forthcoming. Full and timely information is obviously
necessary if the committee and the public is to be confident that any
transgressions can be dealt with quickly and forcefully.
One purpose of this hearing is to give the committee and the public
an understanding of what new information has been discovered that
adds to the knowledge already available from previous Church and
Kennedy inquiries, and to hear the reasons why these documents were
not available to the Church and Kennedy committees. It is also the
purpose of this hearing to address the issues raised by any additional
illegal or improper activities that have emerged from the files and to
develop remedies to prevent such improper activities from occurring
again.
Finally, there is an obligation on the part of both this committee
and the CIA to make every effort to help those individuals or institutions
that may have been harmed by any of these improper or illegal
activities. I am certain that Admiral Turner will work with this committee
to see that this will be done.
Here's some spam for us.
