Susan Collins: “The DIA employees who are part of the national intelligence program, yes, the answer is yes. DIA employees who are part…”

On the recordSeptember 29, 2004
The DIA employees who are part of the national intelligence program, yes, the answer is yes. DIA employees who are part of DOD's tactical intelligence programs, which are outside the scope of the authority of the NID, the answer in that case would be no. So it depends. But if they are part of the national intelligence program, which thousands of DIA employees are, the answer is yes.
