>Primary congressional oversight jurisdiction over the IC is assigned to two committees: the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

>The Gang of Eight are the members of congress privy to full intelligence briefings, of which only two are members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Under Title 50 of the US Code authorizing covert actions, the Central Intelligence Agency can lawfully deny the existence of covert operations to everyone except the Gang of Eight. This means only the chair and ranking minority leader of the Select Committee can make full enquiry into US covert action, limiting the scope of the SSCI's oversight authority.
