Want to know. Since then members of congress have wanted to know. Congressional oversight of intelligence is a recurring flash point in executive congressional relations. Our guests professor Laura Donahue of Georgetown Law School and mark from the Security Academy and John Hopkins University will explore the context to the current dustup between the senate and the c. I. A. By not only reminding us about past struggles between congress and the Intelligence Community, such as the Church Hearings but helping us to understand why this context matters. Everything has a history. Until the 1975, Church Committee, there was no congressional oversight. Despite the sensationalism of the committees rev lyingses the mandated reforms were moderate. Once again, we have revelations demand for more intensive oversight. Nobody at least a good historian, will simply say history repeats itself and that is how we learn from it. We do know that it is impossible for us to understand change without context.
