Dear Charles:


Thank you for contacting me regarding the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's report on the use of so-called enhanced interrogation techniques by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).  I appreciate your engagement in this important issue, and I welcome the opportunity to provide you with additional information.


On December 9, 2014, the Senate Intelligence Committee, which I chaired from January 2009 to December 2014, released the executive summary and findings of its report on the CIA's former Detention and Interrogation Program.  The Committee adopted the report by a bipartisan vote of 9-6 on December 13, 2012, and agreed to submit portions of the report to the Executive Branch for declassification on April 3, 2014 by a vote of 11-3.  A copy of the report's declassified executive summary and findings is available on the Committee's website or at http://tinyurl.com/intelligence-report.


At the time of the report's release, I delivered a statement on the Senate Floor that outlines the history of the Detention and Interrogation Program, the Committee's review of the program, and the importance of the report.  In case it would be of interest to you, a copy of my statement is attached.


Additionally, I have included below three articles by the New York Times and Washington Post that provide further information about the report.  I hope they too may be of interest.

Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me about the interrogation report.  If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3841.


Sincerely yours,


  Dianne Feinstein
         United States Senator
