The '''United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence''' ('''Senate Intelligence Committee or SSCI''') was created as a supposed post-[[Watergate]] era reform in 1975, originally known then as the "[[Frank Church|Church]] Committee". It is the only committee of congress in which the minority ranking member serves as "Vice-Chair." On no other committee does the ranking member hold the title of vice-chair. In theory, intelligence and [[foreign policy]] matters are handled in a [[bipartisan]] manner. This serves a dual purpose of the parties covering up each other's scandals, with the opposition party able to extract concessions.
