                  LEGISLATIVE AND OVERSIGHT ACTIVITIES

    During the second session of the 113th Congress, 25 bills 
or resolutions were referred to the Permanent Select Committee 
on Intelligence. The Full Committee reported two measures to 
the House, not including conference reports. Three measures 
regarding matters within the Committee's jurisdiction were 
enacted into law.
    Three measures referred to the Committee during the 113th 
Congress contained provisions that were later enacted into law 
during the second session of the 113th Congress through S. 
1681, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, 
and H.R. 4681, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015. Those measures were: H.R. 4533, the NSA Internal 
Watchdog Act, introduced by Mr. Jim Cooper; H.R. 3779, To 
Require the Director of National Intelligence To Annually 
Submit Reports on Violations of Law or Executive Order by 
Personnel of the Intelligence Community, introduced by Mr. 
James Himes; and H.R. 3436, To Require the Director of the 
National Security Agency and the Inspector General of the 
National Security Agency To Be Appointed by the President, By 
and With the Advice and Consent of the Senate, introduced by 
Mr. Mark Sanford.
    Additionally, one measure referred to the Committee during 
the 113th Congress contained provisions that were incorporated 
into H.R. 3361, the USA FREEDOM Act, which the Committee 
favorably reported to the House and the House passed. That 
measure was H.R. 3103, the Intelligence Oversight and 
Accountability Act of 2013, introduced by Mr. Mike Thompson.
    The following is a summary of the legislative and oversight 
activities of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence 
during the second session of the 113th Congress. In addition, 
this report includes a summary of hearings held pursuant to 
clauses 2(n), (o), and (p) under House rule XI.

                             Full Committee


                            USA FREEDOM ACT

                              (H.R. 3361)

Summary

    H.R. 3361 would modernize the Foreign Intelligence 
Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) and other national security 
authorities to address public misperceptions of intelligence 
activities.
    Until last year, the existence of a program to collect bulk 
telephone call detail records, also known as telephone 
metadata, under Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act was highly 
classified. The classified nature of the program stemmed from 
the simple fact that if our adversaries knew of the program and 
its capabilities, they would change their communications 
patterns so as to evade surveillance. The Committee has been 
aware of the bulk telephone metadata program since its 
inception and reauthorized Section 215 multiple times because 
the program was a lawful and effective counterterrorism tool. 
If the program had been in place in 2001, the U.S. government 
potentially could have connected phone calls from an al Qaeda 
safe house in Yemen to Khalid al-Mihdhar, one of the September 
11th hijackers inside the U.S.\1\ In the words of former FBI 
director Robert Mueller, finding Mihdhar ``could have derailed 
the plan'' and prevented the attacks.\2\ Since 2001, the 
program has helped prevent imminent attacks and quickly 
discover terrorist networks--or, equally as critical, confirm 
their absence inside the U.S. We are all safer because the bulk 
telephone metadata program gives the government the ability to 
identify and track terrorist threats with speed and agility.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Not only is the bulk telephone metadata program effective, 
it is legal. Two presidential administrations of different 
parties and seventeen federal judges shared the Committee's 
view of the program's legality. The Committee's oversight has 
continuously revealed a strong culture of compliance and 
lawfulness among the men and women of the National Security 
Agency (NSA).
    However, following the unprecedented unauthorized 
disclosures of classified information, the Director of National 
Intelligence declassified many aspects of the bulk telephone 
metadata program. The unauthorized disclosure of this program 
and others caused incalculable damage to U.S. national 
security, much of which may not become apparent for years. Even 
so, the disclosures have caused public concern about the 
program, notwithstanding the care demonstrated by the NSA to 
abide by the law and to protect the constitutional rights of 
U.S. persons. This public concern led the Committee to consider 
ways to end the bulk collection of telephone metadata and 
enhance privacy and civil liberties while preserving as much of 
the operational effectiveness and flexibility of the program as 
possible.
    The Committee's decision to end the bulk collection of 
telephone metadata does not extend to any other intelligence 
programs currently conducted under FISA, including access to 
business records through Section 215 for foreign intelligence, 
counterterrorism, and counterintelligence purposes, and the 
targeting of persons outside the United States under Section 
702. The Committee remains of the view that these other forms 
of collection are effective, lawful, and subject to vigorous 
oversight and review by the Intelligence Community, the 
Department of Justice, Congress, and the courts.

Legislative History

    H.R. 3361 was introduced by Mr. James Sensenbrenner on 
October 29, 2013, and was referred to the Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence and the Committee on the Judiciary.
    On May 7, 2014, the Committee on the Judiciary held a 
business meeting to consider H.R. 3361 and ordered the bill 
reported to the House, as amended, by a recorded vote of 32 
ayes and zero noes.
    On May 8, 2014, the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence held a business meeting to consider H.R. 3361 and 
ordered the bill reported to the House, as amended, by a voice 
vote.
    On May 15, 2014, the Committee on the Judiciary reported 
H.R. 3361 to the House.
    On May 15, 2014, the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence reported H.R. 3361 to the House.
    On May 22, 2014, the House considered H.R. 3361, as 
amended, and passed the bill by a recorded vote, 303 ayes and 
121 noes.

          INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015

                              (H.R. 4681)

Summary

    The annual intelligence authorization bill funds all U.S. 
intelligence activities, spanning sixteen separate agencies.\3\ 
It provides authorization for critical national security 
functions, including: CIA personnel and their activities 
worldwide; tactical intelligence support to combat units in 
Afghanistan; NSA's electronic surveillance and cyber defense; 
global monitoring of foreign militaries, weapons tests, and 
arms control treaties, including use of satellites and radars; 
real-time analysis and reporting on political and economic 
events, such as current events in the Middle East; and research 
and technology to maintain the country's technological edge, 
including work on code breaking, listening devices, and 
reconnaissance satellites.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \3\Although some definitions of the Intelligence Community count 
the number of agencies in the Community differently, Section 101 of 
H.R. 681 lists sixteen, grouping the Department of the Army, the 
Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Air Force together as 
one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Fiscal Year 2015 authorization bill is a critical tool 
for oversight of the Intelligence Community. For too many 
years, intelligence authorization negotiations were the victim 
of partisan infighting and turf battles. Over the past four 
years, however, Congress broke out of that logjam by passing 
four intelligence authorization bills. The Fiscal Year 2015 
authorization bill follows in that path to provide the 
Intelligence Community the resources and authorities it needs 
to accomplish its demanding mission of securing and defending 
America, its allies, and its partners.
    In May 2014, the House passed H.R. 4681, which provided 
authorization for both Fiscal Year 2014 and Fiscal Year 2015. 
The Senate voted on each year's funding separately. In July, 
the Senate passed S. 1681, a Fiscal Year 2014 bill, the House 
concurred, and the bill--which included many of the provisions 
of H.R. 4681--became law. The Senate later amended H.R. 4681 to 
cover only Fiscal Year 2015 and added several other legislative 
provisions. The House concurred in that amendment in December 
2014, and the bill became law.

Legislative History

    H.R. 4681 was introduced by Chairman Mike Rogers on May 20, 
2014, and referred to the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence.
    On May 22, 2014, the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence held a business meeting to consider H.R. 4681 and 
ordered the bill reported to the House, as amended, by a voice 
vote.
    On May 22, 2014, Chairman Mike Rogers made an announcement 
on the floor of the House inviting all members to read the 
classified schedule of authorizations to H.R. 4681 and the 
classified annex that accompanies H. Rept. 113-463 in the 
offices of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.\4\

                 OVERSIGHT PLAN FOR THE 113TH CONGRESS

    Clause 1(d)(2)(E) of rule XI also requires that each 
committee provide a delineation of any hearings held pursuant 
to clauses 2(n), (o), or (p) of rule XI. Those clauses require 
the committee, or a subcommittee thereof, to hold at least one 
hearing on egregious instances of agency waste, fraud, abuse, 
and mismanagement, at least one hearing on agency financial 
statements, and one hearing on programs that, according to 
reports issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, 
are at high risk for waste, fraud, and mismanagement.
    As part of the Committee's oversight and authorization of 
the intelligence community budget, the Committee conducts 
numerous classified hearings and briefings that focus on issues 
of potential waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in federal 
agencies. These Committee efforts result in the annual 
intelligence authorization bill. That bill is accompanied by a 
detailed classified annex on all Intelligence Community 
programs and budgets. A review of potential waste, fraud, 
abuse, and mismanagement within these programs is an 
inextricable part of the development of the classified annex.
    In addition to the classified annex, the Committee also 
conducted a number of unclassified oversight activities this 
year.
    On November 21, 2014, the Committee issued its unclassified 
bipartisan investigative report on the activities of the 
Intelligence Community before, during, and after the September 
11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that caused the deaths of 
four brave Americans. During its two-year-long investigation, 
the Committee held nineteen full committee hearings and 
briefings with Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director 
Petraeus, CIA Director Brennan, National Counterterrorism 
Center Director Olsen, and CIA Deputy Director Morrell and 114 
oversight activities. In those oversight events, the Committee 
and its staff inquired into the intelligence warnings and 
intelligence activities in eastern Libya prior to the attacks, 
the events on the ground during the attacks, the fallout after 
the attacks, and the Government's continued efforts to find the 
attackers. The Committee interviewed ten eyewitnesses who were 
in Libya during the attacks and submitted document requests and 
questions for the record to the CIA to understand fully the 
activities of the Intelligence Community before, during, and 
after the attacks. Further, the Committee sought all available 
information to determine whether any pressure or threats of 
retaliation were made against intelligence professionals to 
persuade them against speaking to Congress. Finally, the 
Committee reviewed thousands of pages of documents, including 
emails from the night of attack, and hundreds of intelligence 
assessments.
    Another bipartisan Committee review focused on the U.S. 
government's purchase of intelligence satellites. The Committee 
unanimously approved the report, entitled ``Performance Audit 
of Intelligence Major Systems Acquisition.'' Although most of 
the report remains classified, an unclassified portion of the 
report revealed that one of the greatest potentials for 
government savings arises from proposed changes to the 
production pace of intelligence satellites. Currently the 
Intelligence Community buys satellites faster than necessary to 
meet mission needs due to concerns about ensuring the stability 
of the satellite production market. The report concluded that 
those concerns are not fully justified and result in the excess 
purchase of satellites at taxpayer expense.
    This year, the Subcommittee on Technical and Tactical 
Intelligence also completed its bipartisan review of the 
National Reconnaissance Office Inspector General special report 
on mismanagement in that agency's Ground Enterprise 
Directorate. The review corroborated the Inspector General's 
main finding that Ground Enterprise Directorate leadership 
created an unreceptive environment for technical dissent, which 
exacerbated problems with two key programs. In May 2014, the 
full Committee adopted the Subcommittee's report and voted to 
share the report's findings and recommendations with the 
Intelligence Community.
    NSA programs continued to be an area of the full 
Committee's focus this year. The Committee reviews NSA programs 
on a continuing basis to ensure that NSA provides effective 
signals intelligence support against foreign intelligence 
targets, all while respecting Americans' privacy and civil 
liberties. In 2014, Committee Members participated in 29 formal 
and informal NSA oversight events, and Committee staff 
participated in an additional 127 oversight events.
    In August 2014, the Committee began a review of 
unauthorized disclosures by a former NSA contractor. This 
review aims to create a formal record of how a lone contractor 
managed to carry out what Director of National Intelligence 
James Clapper described as ``the most massive and most damaging 
theft of intelligence information in our history,'' as well as 
how the Intelligence Community has responded to the former 
contractor's thefts, and what reforms can prevent future thefts 
of similar magnitude.
    Finally, in 2014, the Committee began a study on the 
security of the planned common information technology platform 
for the Intelligence Community, the Intelligence Community 
Information Technology Enterprise (IC ITE). IC ITE aims to move 
the Intelligence Community away from stovepiped computer 
systems toward a unified and coherent model that enables 
greater sharing, greater efficiency, and improved security. The 
Committee's ongoing study will assess whether IC ITE provides 
better safeguards against insider activity than existing 
systems, whether it can withstand sophisticated external 
attacks, and whether it is consistent with industry-standard 
best practices.
