The James Bamford article sent along by coderman is excellent. The Intercept (Oct 2) - "The NSA and Me" by James Bamford [ @WashAuthor ]: https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/10/02/the-nsa-and-me/ I just noticed the article links to an interesting document. Rockefeller Commission Report (RCR, 1977) "REPORT ON INQUIRY INTO CIA-RELATED ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES" http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1304974-report-on-inquiry-into-cia-re...
A 1977 Justice Department report, obtained by reporter James Bamford in 1981 under the Freedom of Information Act, investigating criminal surveillance operations conducted by the CIA and NSA.
In 1975, the executive branch under President Gerald Ford initiated its own investigation of the CIA's and the NSA's activities in parallel with the larger committees in the legislature. The report Bamford shared is a (redacted) product of the President's Commission. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_President%27s_Commission_on_CIA_A... gf -- Gregory Foster || gfoster@entersection.org @gregoryfoster <> http://entersection.com/
