Senate Intelligence Authorization Act

The Senate Intelligence Authorization Act is legislation that provides funding and sets policies for the U.S. intelligence community—agencies like the CIA and NSA. It authorizes budget levels, clarifies operational priorities, and ensures oversight. The act helps maintain national security by supporting intelligence activities while also promoting transparency, accountability, and safeguarding civil liberties. Essentially, it’s a blueprint approved by Congress to ensure intelligence agencies have the resources and direction needed to protect the country while adhering to legal and ethical standards.
