I thank you for holding these hearings on the 9/11 Commission's recommendations for intelligence reform.
The size of the insurgency in Iraq has been consistently underestimated, in terms of the size and the force.
I cannot support this item unless there are some limitations on it, unless Congress can exercise its power over the purse, as the Constitution provides.
I do not believe that we can overstate the importance or the difficulty of the challenge before the Congress.
