WYDEN AND HEINRICH: NEWLY DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS REVEAL PREVIOUSLY SECRET CIA
BULK COLLECTION, PROBLEMS WITH CIA HANDLING OF AMERICANS’ INFORMATION


SENATORS CALL FOR CRITICALLY NEEDED TRANSPARENCY ABOUT CIA BULK COLLECTION;
DOCUMENTS DECLASSIFIED AT WYDEN AND HEINRICH’S REQUEST

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Sen. Martin Heinrich,
D-N.M., both members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, called for new
transparency about bulk surveillance conducted by the Central Intelligence
Agency, following the release of documents that revealed a secret bulk
collection program and problems with how the agency searches and handles
Americans’ information.

Wyden and Heinrich requested the declassification of a report by the Privacy and
Civil Liberties Oversight Board on a CIA bulk collection program, in a letter
sent April 13, 2021. The letter, which was declassified and made public today
reveals that “the CIA has secretly conducted its own bulk program,” authorized
under Executive Order 12333, rather than the laws passed by Congress.

The letter notes that the program was “entirely outside the statutory framework
that Congress and the public believe govern this collection, and without any of
the judicial, congressional or even executive branch oversight that comes from
[Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] collection.” 

“FISA gets all the attention because of the periodic congressional
reauthorizations and the release of DOJ, ODNI and FISA Court documents,” said
Senators Wyden and Heinrich in response to the newly declassified documents. 
“But what these documents demonstrate is that many of the same concerns that
Americans have about their privacy and civil liberties also apply to how the CIA
collects and handles information under executive order and outside the FISA
law.  In particular, these documents reveal serious problems associated with
warrantless backdoor searches of Americans, the same issue that has generated
bipartisan concern in the FISA context.”

Wyden and Heinrich called for more transparency from the CIA, including what
kind of records were collected and the legal framework for the collection. The
PCLOB report noted problems with CIA’s handling and searching of Americans’
information under the program.

“While we appreciate the release of the ‘Recommendations from PCLOB Staff’ which
highlights problems associated with the handling of Americans’ information, our
letter also stressed that the public deserves to know more about the collection
of this information.  The DNI and the CIA Director have started this process. 
We intend to continue to urge them to achieve the transparency the American
people deserve.”

The Wyden-Heinrich letter is here.

A portion of PCLOB’s report on the program was made public here.
