[From Senator Wyden]
1. The OIG’s April 30, 2018, Semiannual Report to the Congress (covering the period October 1, 2017 –
March 31, 2018) was declassified and released to the public, subject to redactions. The October 30,
2017, report (covering the period April 1, 2017 – September 30, 2017) was similarly declassified and
released to the public. Do you commit to declassifying and releasing all OIG semiannual reports,
subject to redactions necessary to protect sources and methods?
Yes, I commit to declassifying and releasing NRO OIG semiannual reports, subject to redactions
necessary to protect sources and methods. I further commit to seeking opportunities to declassify and
release other OIG reports, as appropriate, to improve the public’s awareness of and access to audit,
inspections, special review findings and conclusions issued by the NRO OIG. It is my understanding that
Oversight.gov was created by the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency to
promote greater transparency, and I look forward to using this platform to the fullest extent possible.
