Gordon, Kevin — Here are some thoughts on how we can look at the issue of Congressional oversight ^ j^ ^^ 1. Organize 1-2 sessions at(~RRN^ similar to the one had with Gallucci, O'Connell, Best, and Treverton. Participants would be former House and Senate staffers, mainly drawn (but not exclusively) drawn from the HPSCI and SCCI. Prepare an agenda of topic areas to cover. Purpose is to gain comments on what works/doesn't work and elicit recommendations. Topic areas would include, at a minimum: - Role of the intelligence committees - e.g., is the original justification for the committees — curtailment of abuses — now less important than, say, insuring intelligence receives adequate resources? - Has intelligence oversight been an agent for change? Should the committees have this responsibility and have they fulfilled their responsibilities? - Personnel — Do the intelligence committees have adequate staff and member expertise? Does rotating membership impede effective oversight? - How has security shaped oversight? Are the committees excessively cowed? Or have they often compromised intelligence sources and methods? Or both? Neither? - Does oversight need to be restructured to accommodate the new national security structure, which now includes new threats and the added problem of homeland defense? What are the options (e.g., a Joint Committee, expanding/narrowing authority of existing committees, restructuring the SSCI and HPSCI)? I would invite all of the committee staff with Hill experience, plus outsiders with a range of experiences and views. Some names that come to mind include e.g., Duane Andrews Al Cumming Bill Duhnke John Elliff Marty Faga Keith Hall Chris Healey Beth Larson Ed Levine Christopher Mellon Marvin Ott Patricia Rivalggi Diane Roark
