Senate passes resolution to create a standing committee for intelligence activities
/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
The Senate passed a resolution to establish a permanent Standing Committee on Intelligence Activities. This replaces the current system of temporary or differently structured oversight arrangements with a formal, permanent committee structure.
Why it matters: This is largely an administrative change to how the Senate organizes its internal oversight of intelligence agencies. It changes the formal structure of Senate committees rather than changing the laws that govern intelligence agencies themselves.
