Abstract:

In between the two terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the first in 1993 and the second in 2001, the United States conducted a major inquiry into the status of its intelligence agencies and how well equipped they were to protect the nation against perils at home and abroad. This is an examination of that inquiry, carried out in 1995-96 by the Aspin-Brown Commission (named after its first chair, Les Aspin, and his successor, Harold Brown, both former secretaries of defense). The study is a continuation of the small stream of empirical research that has addressed the role of commissions established to provide information and advice to the federal government. Its purposes are to gain insight into the workings of a blue-ribbon advisory panel, as well as to shed light on a landmark in the evolution of American intelligence policy. The methodology is based on archival research, interviews, and, above all, participant observation?an eye-witness accounting of a significant political event.
