INTELLIGENCE – HOUSE REPUBLICANS PUSH FOR MORE SECRECY: Tucked deep in the House's 497-page version of the "9/11 Recommendations Implementation Act" is a "provision to repeal the requirement that senior-level officials report their personal financial assets valued at more than $2.5 million." Republican proponents of the measure are citing national security concerns, but watchdog groups say the new disclosure policies "would make it harder to detect when officials have personal financial stakes in matters before them." Public Citizen President Joan Claybrook "said that after her group complained about the special financial disclosure rules for intelligence and national security officials, congressional negotiators 'amazingly went even further to limit reporting for all government agency officials.'" The current law, the groups say, "serves as an important check on potential conflicts of interest."
