Congressional Access to National Security Information: Precedents from the Washington Administration
http://www.fas.org/sgp/eprint/fisher3.pdf
Counters the argument, often used by representatives of the executive branch, that they have exclusive authority over national security information stemming from the refusal of the Washington Administration to share papers concerning the Jay Treaty with Congress. Argues that members of both houses of Congress regularly obtained national security documents during and after the Washington presidency. From the Law Library of Congress.
