3-4-96. WSJ:
"U.S. Commission Recommends Staff Cuts at Intelligence
Agencies."
The most numerous cuts would be at the CIA, DIA and NSA.
Former Sen. Warren Rudman said the super-secret NSA,
which conducts various forms of electronic eavesdropping
abroad, was most in need of a cut that could provide
money for new computer-related technology and bring in
people with new technical skills.
3-3-96. NYT:
"Spy Pablum." [Editorial]
After a year of study and high public expectations, the
commission stepped up to this promising moment with all
the spine of a rag doll. There is nothing radical about
its report, which is precisely its problem. When it
comes to the larger picture of just what kind of
intelligence network America needs now that the cold war
is over, and whether some agencies ought to be combined
or eliminated altogether, the commission lacks
imagination and courage.
