The official report that has shaped the international debate about NSA surveillance "We cannot discount the risk, in light of the lessons of our own history, that at some point in the future, high-level government officials will decide that this massive database of extraordinarily sensitive private information is there for the plucking. Americans must never make the mistake of wholly 'trusting' our public officials."—The NSA Report This is the official report that is helping shape the international debate about the unprecedented surveillance activities of the National Security Agency. Commissioned by President Obama following disclosures by former NSA contractor Edward J. Snowden, and written by a preeminent group of intelligence and legal experts, the report examines the extent of NSA programs and calls for dozens of urgent and practical reforms. The result is a blueprint showing how the government can reaffirm its commitment to privacy and civil liberties—without compromising national security.

Congress in 2006 agreed to temporarily consolidate separate Counter-Intelligence (CI) offices at DoE and the Nat. Nuclear Security Admin. into a single CI office under DoE control. DoE had complained that the dual office structure was ineffective. At the same time, in 2006, DoE combined its separate Offices of Intelligence, and Counter-Intelligence into a new DoE office called the Office of Intelligence and Counter-Intelligence. This report analyzes both consolidations -- the first authorized by Congress at DoE¿s request; the second initiated by DoE -- and examines the impact of each on the effectiveness of the Dept.¿s CI program. Congress must determine whether either, or both, organizational changes will strengthen the Dept.¿s CI program.
