Summary

Declares that Congress will release classified documents that do not involve compromise of an existing source, agent, or method and will renew and administer hearings or form a select oversight committee to: (1) investigate past abuses and legal relief due to the victims of abuses carried out under COINTELPRO (the Counter Intelligence Program carried out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI]) and related programs; and (2) identify any renewal of similar abuses following the 9/11 attacks by federal or local agencies or executive branch orders or under the USA PATRIOT Act.
