Surveillant 4.2: This is "a major review of the role, functions and structure of the entire Intelligence Community.... The report seeks to determine which ... intelligence norms are still relevant ... and which need revision or replacement. For those in the latter, suggested alternatives are discussed." A report by the Congressional Research Service, included in the appendices, provides "a superb historical review and summary of official examinations and dissections of the Intelligence Community."

U.S. Congress. House. Select Committee on Intelligence. Recommendations of the Final Report of the House Select Committee on Intelligence. House Report No. 94-833. Washington, DC: GPO, 1976.

This is the report of the "Pike Committee."

Clark comment: Because of disagreement over the Committee's insistence on including classified material that the White House wanted omitted, the formal report of the "Pike Committee" was never formally published. This is the Recommendations section of the Report. Six volumes of unclassified hearings were also published by the Committee.

Pforzheimer notes that these hearings did "not have the depth or balance of the Senate Select Committee hearings.... However, they should receive the study of professional intelligence officers."

A bootlegged draft copy of the Report was carried in The Village Voice (New York) on 16 February 1976 ("The CIA Report the President Doesn't Want You to Read," pp. 69-92) and 23 February 1976 ("How Ford, Kissinger and the CIA Obstructed the House Probe," pp. 59-68). That version was subsequently published in the U.K. as CIA: The Pike Report (Nottingham: Spokesman Books, 1977).
