I noted that you agreed with paragraph 8(a) and you found it acceptable. However, you had a problem with paragraphs 8(b) and 8(c).

Paragraph 8(b) provides for the review of any activity carried out by a department that “relates to national security or intelligence.” However, the same notion of national security and intelligence is found in paragraph 8(a).

Basically, it says that if these issues affect departments rather than agencies, the committee can review them regularly. Unless I'm mistaken, you don't have a problem with this.
