Findings that rest on exhibits naming this entity

  • DEF-6.2: The Church Committee concluded that intelligence activities undermined citizens' constitutional rights primarily because checks and balances had not been applied. Congress then created the Senate and House intelligence committees and enacted the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, with a seven-judge court.
  • DEF-6.8: Part Four of the 2002 Joint Inquiry report, commonly called the 28 pages, was withheld in full until 15 July 2016. It reports leads about Saudi-linked contacts with the hijackers, and the Inquiry stated it made no final determinations.
