material available to any other Committee of the Senate or to any member
of the Senate not a member of the Committee, such material shall be
accompanied by a verbal or written notice to the recipients advising of

governmental purpose related to the work of the Committee and only if
such disclosure has been authorized by the Chairman and Vice Chairman of

committee unless the Senate provides otherwise. In computing any thirty-
day period under this paragraph there shall be excluded from such

the agency or department concerned and the intelligence activities of
foreign countries directed at the United States or its interest. An
unclassified version of each report may be made available to the public
at the discretion of the select committee. Nothing herein shall be
construed as requiring the public disclosure in such reports of the
names of individuals engaged in intelligence activities for the United
States or the divulging of intelligence methods employed or the sources
of information on which such reports are based or the amount of funds
authorized to be appropriated for intelligence activities.

jurisdiction of the Select Committee on Standards and Conduct and of
such committee as to the security of such information during and after
the period of his employment or contractual agreement with such

determined by such committee in consultation with the Director of
Central Intelligence. The type of security clearance to be required in
the case of any such employee or person shall, within the determination

information to which such employee or person will be given access by
such committee.
Sec. 7. The select committee shall formulate and carry out such
rules and procedures as it deems necessary to prevent the disclosure,
without the consent of the person or persons concerned, of information
in the possession of such committee which unduly infringes upon the
privacy or which violates the constitutional rights of such person or
persons. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent such committee
from publicly disclosing any such information in any case in which such
committee determines the national interest in the disclosure of such
information clearly outweighs any infringement on the privacy of any
person or persons.
Sec. 8. (a) the select committee may, subject to the provisions of
this section, disclose publicly any information in the possession of
such committee after a determination by such committee that the public
interest would be served by such disclosure. Whenever committee action
is required to disclose any information under this section, the
committee shall meet to vote on the matter within five days after any
member of the committee requests such a vote. No member of the select
committee shall disclose any information, the disclosure of which
requires a committee vote, prior to a vote by the committee on the
question of the disclosure of such information or after such vote except
in accordance with this section.
(b)(1) In any case in which the select committee votes to disclose
publicly any information which has been classified under established
security procedures, which has been submitted to it by the executive
branch, and which the executive branch requests be kept secret, such
committee shall notify the President of such vote.
(2) The select committee may disclose publicly such information
after the expiration of a five-day period following the day on which
notice of such vote is transmitted to the President, unless, prior to
the expiration of such five-day period, the President, personally in
writing, notifies the committee that he objects to the disclosure of
such information, provides his reasons therefor, and certifies that the
threat to national interest of the United States posed by such
disclosure is of such gravity that it outweighs any public interest in
the disclosure.
(3) If the President, personally in writing, notifies the select
committee of his objections to the disclosure of such information as
provided in paragraph (2), such committee may, by majority vote, refer
the question of the disclosure of such information to the Senate for
consideration. The committee shall not publicly disclose such
information without leave of the Senate.
(4) Whenever the select committee votes to refer the question of
disclosure of any information to the Senate under paragraph (3), the
chairman shall not later than the first day on which the Senate is in
session following the day on which the vote occurs, report the matter to
the Senate for its consideration.
(5) One hour after the Senate convenes on the fourth day on which
the Senate is in session following the day on which any such matter is
reported to the Senate, or at such earlier time as the majority leader
and the minority leader of the Senate jointly agree upon in accordance
with paragraph 5 of rule XVII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the
Senate shall go into closed session and the matter shall be the pending

information in question, in which case the committee shall publicly
disclose the information ordered to be disclosed.

the information in question, in which case the committee shall not
publicly disclose the information ordered not to be disclosed, or

to the Senate, or the close of the fifth day following the day agreed
upon jointly by the majority and minority leaders in accordance with
paragraph 5 of rule XVII of the Standing Rules of the Senate (whichever
the case may be), the Senate shall immediately vote on the disposition
of such matter in open session, without debate, and without divulging
the information with respect to which the vote is being taken. The
Senate shall vote to dispose of such matter by one or more of the means
specified in clauses (A), (B), and (C) of the second sentence of this
paragraph. Any vote of the Senate to disclose any information pursuant
to this paragraph shall be subject to the right of a Member of the
Senate to move for reconsideration of the vote within the time and
pursuant to the procedures specified in rule XIII of the Standing Rules
of the Senate, and the disclosure of such information shall be made
consistent with that right.
(c)(1) No information in the possession of the select committee

disclosed shall be made available to any person by a Member, officer, or
employee of the Senate except in a closed session of the Senate or as
provided in paragraph (2).
(2) The select committee may, under such regulations as the
committee shall prescribe to protect the confidentiality of such
information, make any information described in paragraph (1) available
to any other committee or any other Member of the Senate. Whenever the
select committee makes such information available, the committee shall
keep a written record showing, in the case of any particular
information, which the committee or which Members of the Senate received
such information under this subsection, shall disclose such information
except in a closed session of the Senate.
(d) It shall be the duty of the Select Committee on Standards and
Conduct \1\ to investigate any unauthorized disclosure of intelligence
information by a Member, officer or employee of the Senate in violation
of subsection (c) and to report to the Senate concerning any allegation
which it finds to be substantiated.
(e) Upon the request of any person who is subject to any such
investigation, the Select Committee on Standards and Conduct \1\ shall
release to such individual at the conclusion of its investigation a
summary of its investigation together with its findings. If, at the
conclusion of its investigation, the Select Committee on Standards and
Conduct \1\ determines that there has been a significant breach of
confidentiality or unauthorized disclosure by a Member, officer, or
employee of the Senate, it shall report its findings to the Senate and
recommend appropriate action such as censure, removal from committee
membership, or expulsion from the Senate, in the case of a Member, or
removal from office or employment or punishment for contempt, in the
case of an officer or employee.
Sec. 9. The select committee is authorized to permit any personal
representative of the President, designated by the President to serve as

transferred to the select committee.
Sec. 11. (a) It is the sense of the Senate that the head of each
department and agency of the United States should keep the select
committee fully and currently informed with respect to intelligence
activities, including any significant anticipated activities, which are
the responsibility of or engaged in by such department or agency:
Provided, That this does not constitute a condition precedent to the
implementation of any such anticipated intelligence activity.
(b) it is the sense of the Senate that the head of any department or
agency of the United States involved in any intelligence activities
should furnish any information or document in the possession, custody,
or control of the department or agency, or person paid by such
department or agency, whenever requested by the select committee with
respect to any matter within such committee's jurisdiction.
(c) It is the sense of the Senate that each department and agency of
the United States should report immediately upon discovery to the select
committee any and all intelligence activities which constitute
violations of the constitutional rights of any person, violations of
law, or violations of Executive orders, presidential directives, or
departmental or agency rules or regulations; each department and agency
should further report to such committee what actions have been taken or
are expected to be taken by the departments or agencies with respect to
such violations.
Sec. 12. Subject to the Standing Rules of the Senate, no funds shall
be appropriated for any fiscal year beginning after September 30, 1976,
with the exception of a continuing bill or resolution, or amendment
thereto, or conference report thereon, to, or for use of, any department
or agency of the United States to carry out any of the following

gathering, use, security, and dissemination of intelligence:
(1) the quality of the analytical capabilities of the United
States foreign intelligence agencies and means for integrating more
closely analytical intelligence and policy formulation;
(2) the extent and nature of the authority of the departments

activities and the desirability of developing charters for each

accountability of intelligence activities; to reduce duplication or
overlap; and to improve the morale of the personnel of the foreign

procedures by which Congress is informed of such activities;
(5) the desirability of changing any law, Senate rule or
procedure, or any Executive order, rule, or regulation to improve
the protection of intelligence secrets and provide for disclosure of
information for which there is no compelling reason for secrecy;

Senate on intelligence activities;

information;

of the Government and whether disclosure of any of the amounts of

be used in policies or guidelines which may be adopted by the
executive or legislative branches to govern, clarify, and strengthen
the operation of intelligence activities.
