Intelligence and Homeland Security before 9/11 New York Times journalist Seymour Hersh broke the story of the intelligence community's illegal domestic surveillance in late 1974. This led to the establishment of two select committees in early 1975 to investigate past intelligence activities. The investigatory work of these committees was the basis for establishing a permanent congressional intelligence oversight framework: o The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (1976) and o The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (1977). Concern over potential for new domestic intelligence abuses like those uncovered in the 1970s contributed to an institutional reluctance on the part of the intelligence and law enforcement communities to collaborate and share information on threats to U.S. national security, even in situations where it would have been legal and appropriate to do so. This ultimately impeded their collective understanding of domestic threats to U.S. national security.
