Foreign and Military Intelligence; Book I: Final Report of the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities United States Senate Together with Additional Supplemental and Separate Views

197655626Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1976. presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. Senate document 94th Congress 2d Session Report No. 94-755. viii 651 5 pages. Wraps. Figures. Footnotes. Appendices. Glossary. Small tears at spine slight soiling to text staples in front cover small stains on title page. Inscribed to Nancy Brooks by Michael Madigan Staff Counsel and Spencer Davis Staff Press Secretary. In 1973 the Senate Watergate Committee investigation revealed that the executive branch had directed national intelligence agencies to carry out constitutionally questionable domestic security operations. In 1974 Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh published a front-page New York Times article claiming that the CIA had been spying on anti-war activists for more than a decade violating the agency's charter. Former CIA officials and some lawmakers including Senators William Proxmire and Stuart Symington called for a congressional inquiry. On January 21 1975 Senator John Pastore introduced a resolution to establish a select committee to investigate federal intelligence operations and determine "the extent if any to which illegal improper or unethical activities were engaged in by any agency of the Federal Government." The Senate approved the resolution 82-4. The final report included 96 recommendations legislative and regulatory designed "to place intelligence activities within the constitutional scheme for controlling government power." The committee recommended strengthening oversight of intelligence activities. Majority Leader Mike Mansfield cautioned the Senate "against letting the affair become a ‘television extravaganza.'" He and Republican Leader Hugh Scott carefully selected committee members balancing experienced lawmakers with junior members and ensuring that members represented a variety of political viewpoints. Mansfield selected Democrat Frank Church of Idaho to serve as chairman. A 16-year member of the Committee on Foreign Relations Church recognized the strategic value of the nation's top intelligence agencies and was also mindful of the need for American institutions to function within the confines of U.S. constitutional law. He had aggressively lobbied to lead the investigation. Republican John Tower of Texas a member of the Armed Services Committee was selected as the committee's vice-chairman. The committee decided that most of its hearings would be held in closed executive session in order to protect intelligence sources and methods. The committee held a series of public hearings in September and October of 1975 to educate the American public about the "unlawful or improper conduct" of the intelligence community highlighting a few carefully selected cases of misconduct. These hearings examined a CIA biological agents program a White House domestic surveillance program IRS intelligence activities and the FBI's program to disrupt the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements. These nationally televised events offered the American public an opportunity to learn about the secret operations conducted for decades by U.S. intelligence agencies. The committee faced a formidable task: to conduct a wide-ranging investigation of the nation's most secret agencies and programs and based on those findings write a detailed report including legislative recommendations. All of this work was to be completed within one year later extended to 16 months. After a meeting with President Gerald Ford and his top national security advisors Church and Vice-Chairman Tower secured from the president a pledge that the White House would cooperate with Senate investigators. Staff identified potential programs for study and began requesting documents from intelligence agencies. Though staff did not always receive documents in a timely fashion they enjoyed unprecedented access to materials that had never before been made public. Perhaps the most well-known of these internal reports the CIA's so-called "Family Jewels" outlined the agency's misdeeds dating back to President Dwight Eisenhower's administration. This report as well as those found in other agencies provided road maps that staff investigators used to piece together complicated histories of domestic foreign and military intelligence programs during the Cold War era. Even with a peak staff of 150 however organizing and analyzing these materials proved to be an arduous task. After holding 126 full committee meetings 40 subcommittee hearings interviewing some 800 witnesses in public and closed sessions and combing through 110000 documents the committee published its final report on April 29 1976. Congress approved legislation to provide for greater checks and balances of the intelligence community. In 1978 Congress approved and President Jimmy Carter signed into law the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act FISA requiring the executive branch to request warrants for wiretapping and surveillance purposes from a newly formed FISA Court. Today the Church Committee reports and hearings are frequently used by scholars who continue to examine U.S. intelligence activities during the Cold War era. U. S.

Hydroelectric Development In New England; Hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy Regulation of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources United States Senate Ninety-Seventh Congress on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Licensing Procedures Affecting Hydroelectric Development in New England Concord N.H. August 7 1981 Publication No. 97-40

198191187Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1981. Presumed First Edition First Printing. Wraps. Very good. iii 1 230 2 pages. Illustrations. Tabular data. The "Hydroelectric Development in New England" hearing was a pivotal August 1981 session held by the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The hearing addressed the booming "mini-hydro" rush driven by the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act PURPA and regional disputes over cheap renewable energy The PURPA Boom: Driven by the 1970s oil crises Congress passed PURPA in 1978 to reduce foreign oil dependence. By 1981 this led to a "gold rush" of developers seeking to retrofit finance and construct small-scale hydroelectric plants. The legislation guaranteed a market for the electricity and offered sizable tax credits. The 1981 hearing touched on a major regional crisis. New Hampshire attempted to stop "exporting" relatively inexpensive hydroelectricity generated on the Connecticut River to Massachusetts and Rhode Island in order to lower its own citizens' utility bills. This sparked a legal war that culminated in the 1982 Supreme Court case New England Power Co. v. New Hampshire where the Court ruled that states could not constitutionally restrict the interstate trade of hydro-power. Despite federal tax incentives developers faced severe bottlenecks in trying to build or revive small hydro plants. The hearing focused heavily on accelerating the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission FERC licensing process to encourage development. U.S. Government Printing Office paperback
