House Passes FY2012 Intel Bill

House Passes FY2012 Intel Bill

The House passed the FY2012 Intelligence Authorization bill today.

The bill, H.R. 1892, authorizes funding and activities for the nation’s intelligence community.

Passage of the bill is timely not only as it comes two days before the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, but next week the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) will celebrate its 50th anniversary at a fancy event at the Smithsonian’s Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly VA (not far from NRO’s offices). The announcement promises that two legacy satellite reconnaissance systems will be unveiled that evening.
