On the recordApril 22, 2015
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Chair, this is Mr. Carson's first year on the committee, and I appreciate his dedicated service and the interest he has taken in oversight of the intelligence community. He brings a background in law enforcement, which is a very welcome addition to our committee, and joins other colleagues with a very similar background. He has worked closely with us to make privacy improvements throughout the process. I support his efforts here again to make a good bill even better. Mr. Carson's amendment would include a requirement to make sure the critical dual privacy scrub is working the way it should. This is very important. It is at the core of our bill and at the core of our efforts to protect privacy. So we must monitor how these requirements are working and support transparent reporting to make sure that they are working as intended. I support the amendment and urge my colleagues to do the same.
