Is congressional oversight a double entendre? CIA Director James Woolsey, called on the carpet today by the Senate Intelligence Committee about a mysterious $310 million spy complex, denied the project's cost and size were kept from Congress. At the hastily called public hearing, Woolsey said the committee has been told about the behemoth at least nine times since 1990. Among the contents of several hefty volumes of brief-ings he turned over: a May 29, 1992, paper listing costs of $309 million.
