On the recordJuly 24, 2017
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. The Intelligence Authorization Act is a critical oversight tool, one component of the legal architecture that governs the authorities and boundaries of our civilian and military intelligence professionals. The bipartisan legislation before us today is sound, and I endorse its substance on the merits. But I agree with our leadership that the suspension process is not the appropriate venue for its adoption. For this reason, I will vote ``no'' on the measure tonight, but I remain optimistic about this legislation's ultimate passage into law after we complete its consideration under regular order. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
