ABSTRACT
Thirty years ago, the United States Senate’s Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities – mercifully known as the Church Committee after its Chair, Idaho Senator Frank Church – completed its 17-month investigation.1 Neither before nor since in America, or anywhere else in the world, has there been such a comprehensive investigation either of intelligence agencies – FBI, CIA and others – or of their relations with Presidents, national security advisers, Attorneys General and other high-ranking executive branch officials.2
