PURPOSES. The purposes of this resolution are-- (1) to improve congressional oversight of the intelligence activities of the United States; (2) to provide a strong, stable, and capable congressional committee structure to provide the intelligence community appropriate oversight, support, and leadership; (3) to implement a key recommendation of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (the ``9/11 Commission'') that structural changes be made to Congress to improve the oversight of intelligence activities; and (4) to provide vigilant legislative oversight over the intelligence activities of the United States to assure that such activities are in conformity with the Constitution and laws of the United States.
