Select Committee on Intelligence

The Select Committee on Intelligence provides oversight of United States intelligence activities, programs, and budgets, and prepares legislation to authorize funding levels and limit or permit intelligence operations. It occasionally deliberates on standalone legislation and can weigh in on treaties as they pertain to intelligence issues during the Senate’s process of ratification. The Committee can make formal inquiries on intelligence activities and events, analyze data from the Intelligence Community, and make recommendations on nominees for intelligence-related positions requiring Senate confirmation.
