United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and Intelligence

United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will conduct hearings to toughen up secrecy rules and toughen up on leaks of classified information. United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will also evaluate the classification system and ensure that the classification system protects intelligence that could damage our national security and strategic security.

United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will work with United States Department of Justice and United States House Judiciary Committee to draft legislation in the fall of 2005. Such draft legislation must also protect whistle blowers and/ or those who highlight waste, fraud, and abuse by revealing secrets.

History has shown, some of the worst damage done to intelligence has not come from penetration by spies, instead from unauthorized leaks by those with access to classified information.
