1. Why would it be bad for Inouye to have a close
relationship with people in intelligence?
Because he needs to be as unbiased as possible in order to create a fair balance between the FBI and the CIA
2. How would Inouye's fairness and spirit of cooperation be effective in a legislative body such as the Senate?
Because in the senate the two parties have conflicting views ad if they are not able to cooperate or at least make compromises then nothing would get done
3. Why do you think Inouye was named to head the
committee investigating Iran-Contra?
Because he had be the head of the committee creating balances and limitations on intelligence work as well as he had earned a fair amount of credibility when he had worked with fierce yet fair questions during the Watergate Investigation
