Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee
this branch of the Galactic Senate was charged with ensuring that funds provided to the Grand Army of the Republic were put to proper use, during the height of the Clone Wars. The committee opposed any non-military usage of clone troopers, and had tried to block the use of clone commandos and probe droids on Coruscant itself. Chancellor Palpatine eventually overruled their decision, citing that Separatist spies might already be working on the planet. This decision allowed Mace Windu to assemble a team of investigators to search The Works for evidence of Darth Sidious' existence.
