History
1970s
The Rockefeller Commission, Church Committee, and Pike Committee all recommended strengthening the office of OIG. Their criticisms included claims that the IG had few staff, was ignored, and was denied access to information. Their suggestions were not made into law.[2]
1980s
The Inspector General Charles A. Briggs produced a completely falsified statement - the "Briggs affidavit" used to hide the agency's involvement in the Arms For Libya arms deal. When this was revealed as a flat out lie, all the CIA staff who were a party to the deception were let given immunity from prosecution.
