Reports go to the congressional intelligence committees and to the Senate and House Appropriations and Armed Services Committees. Each report must say which systems or parts were decertified but are still in use; any extension requests and their current status; which systems are known not to follow the Committee on National Security Systems' rules (the committee set up under National Security Directive 42, signed July 5, 1990); and which organizations have not given the NSA Director the access or information needed to check compliance.
