viewed on a page-by-page basis. A number of modifications and revisions

would be of unusual interest because of recent developments. The Com-
mittee expressed its appreciation to the authors for their efforts in pro-
ducing a good report.

belief that the ETC mechanism continues to serve a useful function in the
interests of the intelligence community and the USIB.
