• Warrantless FBI Electronic Surveillance

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "This report focuses exclusively on the FBI's use of electronic surveillance; NSA's monitoring system is described at length in the Committee's Report on NSA. Because the legal issues and the FBI's policy and practice regarding consensual monitoring devices such as 'body recorders' are distinct from those of nonconsensual wiretaps and microphone installations, the report is also confined to the latter forms of electronic surveillance."

• National Security Agency Surveillance Affecting Americans

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "This report describes the Committee's investigation into certain questionable activities of the National Security Agency (NSA). The Committee's primary focus in this phase of its investigation was on NSA's electronic surveillance practices and capabilities, especially those involving American citizens, groups, and organizations. NSA has intercepted and disseminated international communications of American citizens whose privacy ought to be protected under our Constitution. For example, from August 1945 to May 1975, NSA obtained copies of many international telegrams sent to, from, or through the United States from three telegraph companies. In addition, from the early 1960s until 1973, NSA targeted the international communications of certain American citizens by placing their names on a 'watch list.' Intercepted messages were disseminated to the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD), and the Department of Defense. In neither program were warrants obtained."

• CIA Intelligence Collection about Americans: Chaos and the Office of Security

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "This report discusses the results of a staff inquiry into the major CIA programs which involved collection of information about Americans: the Chaos, Merrimac and Resistance programs and the special security investigations undertaken by the Office of Security. One of the main controversies raised by recent practices of the Central Intelligence Agency is the question of intelligence collection about Americans. Unlike the FBI, the CIA was intended to focus on foreign intelligence matters. Charges have been made, however, suggesting that the CIA spied on thousands of Americans and maintained files on many more, all in violation of its statutory charter."

• Internal Revenue Service: An Intelligence Resource and Collector

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "The Internal Revenue Service functions as an intelligence agency in two respects. First, through its Intelligence Division, it both collects general intelligence about possible tax violators and investigates specific allegations of tax fraud to secure evidence for criminal prosecution. Second, the IRS accumulates vast amounts of information about the financial and personal affairs of American citizens from the tax returns and supporting information which Americans voluntarily submit each year. This report is primarily an exploration of the reasons these uses of the IRS have led to serious and illegal abuse of IRS investigative powers and to a compromise of the privacy and integrity of the tax return. As a rich deposit of intelligence and an effective intelligence gatherer, the IRS is a powerful tool which other agencies of government, including Congress and the executive branch, have periodically sought to employ for purposes other than tax law enforcement."

• Intelligence Activities and the Rights of Americans: Political Abuse of Intelligence Information

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "The Committee finds that information has been collected and disseminated in order to serve the purely political interests of an intelligence agency or the administration, and to influence social policy and political action. The FBI's ability to gather information without effective restraints gave it enormous power. That power was inevitably attractive to politicians, who could use information on opponents and critics for their own advantage, and was also an asset to the Bureau, which depended on politicians for support. In the political arena, as in other facets of American life touched by the intelligence community, the existence of unchecked power led to its abuse."

• Intelligence Activities and the Rights of Americans: Excessive Use of Intrusive Techniques

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "The intelligence community has employed surreptitious collection techniques -- mail opening, surreptitious entries, informants, and 'traditional' and highly sophisticated forms of electronic surveillance -- to achieve its overly broad intelligence targeting and collection objectives. Although there are circumstances where these techniques, if properly controlled, are legal and appropriate, the Committee finds that their very nature makes them a threat to the personal privacy and constitutionally protected activities of both the targets and of persons who communicate with or associate with the targets. The dangers inherent in the use of these techniques have been compounded by the lack of adequate standards limiting their use and by the absence of review by neutral authorities outside the intelligence agencies. As a consequence, these techniques have collected enormous amounts of personal and political information serving no legitimate governmental interest."

• Intelligence Activities and the Rights of Americans: Deficiencies in Control and Accountability

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "The Committee finds that those responsible for overseeing, supervising, and controlling domestic activities of the intelligence community, although often unaware of details of the excesses described in this report, made those excesses possible by delegating broad authority without establishing adequate guidelines and procedural checks; by failing to monitor and coordinate sufficiently the activities of the agencies under their charge; by failing to inquire further after receiving indications that improper activities may have been occurring; by exhibiting a reluctance to know about secret details of programs; and sometimes by requesting intelligence agencies to engage in questionable practices. On numerous occasions, intelligence agencies have, by concealment, misrepresentation, or partial disclosure, hidden improper activities from those to whom they owed a duty of disclosure. But such deceit and the improper practices which it concealed would not have been possible to such a degree if senior officials of the Executive Branch and Congress had clearly allocated responsibility and imposed requirements for reporting and obtaining prior approval for activities, and had insisted on adherence to those requirements."

  "The Committee finds that covert action programs have been used to disrupt the lawful political activities of individual Americans and groups and to discredit them, using dangerous and degrading tactics which are abhorrent in a free and decent society. Although the claimed purposes of these action programs were to protect the national security and to prevent violence, many of the victims were concededly nonviolent, were not controlled by a foreign power, and posed no threat to the national security."

• Intelligence Activities and the Rights of Americans: Inadequate Controls on Dissemination and Retention

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "The Committee finds that the product of intelligence investigations has been disseminated without adequate controls. Reports on lawful political activity and law-abiding citizens have been disseminated to agencies having no proper reason to receive them. Information that should have been discarded, purged, or sealed, including the product of illegal techniques and overbroad investigations, has been retained and is available for future use. The Committee's finding on Political Abuse describes dissemination of intelligence for the political advantage of high officials or the self-interest of an agency. The problems of excessive dissemination, however, include more than political use. Dissemination has not been confined to what is appropriate for law enforcement or other proper government purposes. Rather, any information which could have been conceived to be useful was passed on, and doubts were generally resolved in favor of dissemination. Until recently, none of the standards for the exchange of data among agencies has taken privacy interests into account. The same failure to consider privacy interests has characterized the retention of data by the original collecting agency."

• Intelligence Activities and the Rights of Americans: Introduction and Summary

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "We have examined three types of 'intelligence' activities affecting the rights of American citizens. The first is intelligence collection -- such as infiltrating groups with informants, wiretapping, or opening letters. The second is dissemination of material which has been collected. The third is covert action designed to disrupt and discredit the activities of groups and individuals deemed a threat to the social order. These three types of 'intelligence' activity are closely related in the practical world. Information which is disseminated by the intelligence community or used in disruptive programs has usually been obtained through surveillance. Nevertheless, a division between collection, dissemination and covert action is analytically useful both in understanding why excesses have occurred in the past and in devising remedies to prevent those excesses from recurring."

• Intelligence Activities and the Rights of Americans: The Overbreadth of Domestic Intelligence Activity

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "The Committee finds that domestic intelligence activity has been overbroad in that (1) many Americans and domestic groups have been subjected to investigation who were not suspected of criminal activity and (2) the intelligence agencies have regularly collected information about personal and political activities irrelevant to any legitimate governmental interest. The central problem posed by domestic intelligence activity has been its departure from the standards of the law. This departure from law has meant not only the violation of constitutional prohibitions and explicit statutes, but also the adoption of criteria unrelated to the law as the basis for extensive investigations of Americans."

• Growth of Domestic Intelligence: 1936 to 1976

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "During and after the First World War, intelligence agencies, including the predecessor of the FBI, engaged in repressive activity. A new Attorney General, Harlan Fiske Stone, sought to stop the investigation of 'political or other opinions.' This restraint was embodied only in an executive pronouncement, however. No statutes were passed to prevent the kind of improper activity which had been exposed. Thereafter, as this narrative will show, the abuses returned in a new form. It is now the responsibility of all three branches of government to ensure that the pattern of abuse of domestic intelligence activity does not recur." Three periods of growth for domestic intelligence are outlined: 1936-1945, 1946-1963, and 1964-1976.

  "The findings which have emerged from our investigation convince us that the Government's domestic intelligence policies and practices require fundamental reform. We have attempted to set out the basic facts; now it is time for Congress to turn its attention to legislating restraints upon intelligence activities which may endanger the constitutional rights of Americans. The Committee's fundamental conclusion is that intelligence activities have undermined the constitutional rights of citizens and that they have done so primarily because checks and balances designed by the framers of the Constitution to assure accountability have not been applied."

• National Security, Civil Liberties, and the Collection of Intelligence: A Report on the Huston Plan

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "In June 1970 President Nixon requested a review of intelligence collection practices which might lead to better information on domestic dissenters. In response, the intelligence community produced a 43 page Special Report on the subject. The Huston Plan, written soon thereafter by presidential assistant Tom Charles Huston, was a set of recommendations-for-action derived from the options presented in this Special Report. The following commentary on the Special Report and the Huston Plan is organized, first, to reveal the background events which led to the presidential request for an intelligence review. It then explores in detail the views and activities of the men who wrote the Special Report, as well as the reaction of the President to its controversial spin-off, the Huston Plan. The effect of this episode upon the ongoing activities of the intelligence agencies is examined next. Pursuant to Senate Resolution 21, special attention was devoted throughout the inquiry to the question of whether illegal, improper, or unethical acts had been carried out by the President or those preparing the intelligence report for him."

• Stronger Federal Assistance to States Needed for Radiation Emergency Response Planning, Report to the Congress by the Comptroller General of the United States

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is the lead Federal agency in assisting States to voluntarily develop plans to cope with emergency radiation incidents at nuclear facilities, particularly powerplants, and accidents involving transportation of radioactive materials. This interagency effort has resulted in published guidelines and free formal training courses for State and local government officials responsible for radiation emergency response planning. As of December 1975, however, the Commission did not consider any State plan adequate to support the radiation emergency response planning guidelines developed by the Commission. GAO offers recommendations by which States can improve their radiation emergency response plans and keep the Congress better informed. This report concerns the need for stronger Federal assistance to States for radiation emergency response planning. The report discusses the status of State radiation emergency response plans and needed improvements in the Federal interagency effort to get State and local governments to improve their plans."

  "In its investigations the Special Committee on National Emergencies and Delegated Emergency Powers has concentrated on determining the extent of emergency power delegated to the President and recommending procedures for the declaration, administration, and termination of emergencies. It has not attempted to evaluate the state of emergency preparedness in the United States. Only in its final days did the Committee probe this question at all, and then only briefly. The range and complexity of emergency issues make any evaluation extremely difficult. Too often government units, trapped within their particular fragment of bureaucratic puzzle, fail to examine issues in all their parameters. In its brief probing of emergency preparedness issues, the staff of the Committee attempted to cut across customary lines of fragmentation and to take a broad view. To do this, the staff solicited the views of representatives of Federal emergency agencies, Congressional staff members, and nongovernmental experts."

• National Fire Incident Reporting System: A Key to Fire Hazard Quantification

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "'America Burning', the 1973 Report of the National Commission on Fire Prevention and Control, pointed out that in the United States fire is a major national problem. It stated that fire claims nearly 12,000 lives a year, injures some 300,000 and destroys property worth over 4 billion dollars. It stated that the United States leads all the major industrialized countries in per capita deaths and property loss from fire. The death rate is nearly twice that of second-ranking Canada. Among the Commission's recommendations was that a National Fire Data System be established to help place fire prevention and control programs on a firmer foundation of scientific data, and to facilitate development of cost-effective solutions to these problems. Acting on the recommendation of the Commission, the Congress passed and the President signed the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act in 1974. The Act dealt with the entire national fire problem and it established the National Fire Prevention and Control Administration. Federal-level responsibility for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data on the occurrence, control, and results of fires of all types was assigned to the National Fire Data Center of the Administration. The legislative mandate also specified that the program of the Data Center shall be designed to provide an accurate nationwide analysis of the fire problem, identify major problem areas, assist in setting priorities, determine possible solutions to problems, and monitor the progress of programs to reduce fire losses. This paper describes the National Fire Incident Reporting System, an ongoing effort undertaken in partial fulfillment of this mandate, and it provides a very brief review of a related activity on the international level."

  "The Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 […] established the National Fire Prevention and Control Administration (NFPCA) within the Department of Commerce and directed the Secretary of Commerce to establish, at the earliest practicable date, a National Academy for Fire Prevention and Control (Academy). In passing the Act, Congress emphasized that a headquarters training facility for the Nation's firefighters was essential if the fire loss reduction effort was to succeed. It was the intent of Congress that the Academy be a small but excellent campus with a first-class staff and facilities to serve as the focal point for the professional training of firefighters and others concerned with fire prevention and control. The Act further provides that the Academy shall be located on such site as the Secretary selects after consideration of the recommendations of a three-member Site Selection Board. In January 1976, the Secretary appointed the Board members. On March 22, 1976, the Board undertook its duties in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(g) of the Act, the Charter of the National Academy for Fire Prevention and Control Site Selection Board, the Federal Advisory Committee Act, and the Instructions by the Administrator, NFPCA, as published in the Federal Register of February 13 and March 17, 1976. The Board, in making its recommendations, was required to give consideration to the training and facility needs of the Academy, the environmental effects, the possibility of using a surplus government facility and such other factors as it deemed important and relevant."

In the course of its two years of work, the Commission held 17 days of hearings, receiving testimony from more than 100 witnesses. In August 1974, 14 experienced prosecutors and investigators conferred for three days in an attempt to determine, how, when, and why electronic surveillance can best be used in, law enforcement. Commission staff members visited 46 State and 12 Federal law-enforcement jurisdictions to study and report on the manner in which court authorized and consensual electronic surveillance is being used. Background studies of various aspects of electronic surveillance were\prepared by 0 the Commission staff and consultants. (A majority of the Commission determined not to study the use of electronic surveillance in national security cases.) This volume contains the Findings and Recommendations of the Commission, a Summary of the Evidence considered by it, and Minority and Concurring Reports. The testimony taken at our hearings and the reports, of the staff and consultants have been published in five separate volumes of supporting materials."

  Show summary     Open resource [html]     (open full abstract)

  "This is the [eighth] volume in the Preventive Medicine series for World War II. Its pages unfold the story of the Army's public health responsibilities in many countries during a time of tremendous upheaval and destruction. Many of the contributing authors were directly involved in the health activities which add significant impact to their accounts. The vastness and complexities of the problems which developed in this war were dimly perceived in the early planning of the American effort. The least understood of all problems was providing health services for civilian populations in occupied territories. Problems also encompassed the equally important concern for ecological factors and the total environment. Organizational misdirection, scarce resources, inadequate transportation, and the woefully small number of trained public health personnel available further aggravated the situation. This volume reveals how a small scattering of AMEDD personnel coped with adversity and hardship in their efforts to care for the indigenous populations until their own government could once more become functional. No other military publication describes this aspect of World War II more vividly and comprehensively in telling the story as it was. The reader will be rewarded with a greater understanding of how lessons learned can be applied to present and future events."

National awareness and concern over the hazards to human health and to the environment caused by the use and discharge of numerous toxic and hazardous materials mounts virtually every day. Scientific evidence that the threat to human health from environmental pollution may be far greater than was previously suspected is rapidly accumulating. As the links between cancer and environmental pollution emerge, it is profoundly disturbing to hear that the agency charged by law with the enforcement of our laws to protect our health and the environment from cancer-causing toxic materials has failed and refused to enforce those laws vigorously."
