CIA and the Media: Hearings before the Subcommittee on Oversight of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (1978)
House of Representatives, Ninety-Fifth Congress, First and Second Sessions, December 27, 28, 29, 1977, January 4, 5, and April 20, 1978. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.
These hearings were the inspiration and much of the source of a six-part series by John M. Crewdson which ran in the New York Times from December 1977 through January 1978. If you're interested in the what, who, where, why, and how of espionage, and some idea of what's being done today (specific methods have changed, principles remain largely unchanged), it's a trove of information.
All 625 pages worth.
I'd posted and discussed Crewdson's series a few months ago. The testimony itself turned up as I was trying to verify some quotes in garbled sections of this series.

I've also compiled the earlier articles into a single document and corrected many of the OCR / scanning errors, DM me with your email if you'd like a copy.
