Excerpt from Final Report of the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations With Respect to Intelligence Activities, United States Senate, Vol. 2: Together With Additional, Supplemental, and Separate Views On behalf of the Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, and pursuant to the mandate of Senate Resolution 21, I am transmitting herewith to the Senate the volume of the Committee's Final Report which presents the results of the Committee's investigation into Federal domestic intelligence activities.

The members of this Committee have served with utmost diligence and dedication. We have had 1
