Sendo votado 222-199, a conta da inteligência estêve emitida ao Senate e fará exame do efeito se o presidente George W. Sinal de Bush ele.

Entre as provisões da conta que foram feitas a público, um requer o relatório aos comitês sobre de se os empregados da agência de inteligência complying com as proteções para detidos do tratamento cruel, inhumane e degradando. Another provision requires a report on the use of private contractors in intelligence work.

As the first intelligence authorization conference bill Congress has presented in three years, the bill also suspended 70 percent of the intelligence budget spending in 2008 until the House and Senate intelligence committees are briefed on Israel’s Sept. 6 air strike on an alleged nuclear site in Syria.

It also requires the creation of a new internal watchdog to oversee all the intelligence agencies.

The bill was approved days after CIA Director Michael Hayden testified at Congress hearings on the agency’s destruction of interrogating videotapes, reviving debate whether CIA was trying to cover torture on terrorist suspects including waterboarding.

However, the White House threatened to veto the bill this week, noting that they disagree with more than 11 areas of the bill, especially opposing restricting the CIA to interrogation methods approved by the U.S. military in 2006.
