"If CIA is lying to any of us, and I have been briefed many times by them on the Intelligence Committee, it puts me in a position of not being able to do my job properly."

"The support and protection of whistleblowers in the Federal Government is obviously vital to rooting out the waste, fraud, and abuse and mismanagement."

"We cannot allow the continued loss or degradation of whistleblower laws that today cause us not to have the full support of both our contractors and our government employees."

"Without these individuals willing to come forward and uncover the most dangerous failures within the government, we would find ourselves exposed from a national security standpoint."
