“we are at ``no fooling time'' with regard to our intelligence activities. Because the only thing that is going to prevent another terrorist attack, of which there are many attempts, is the accuracy and quality and the timeliness of the intelligence information we get. In dealing with a secretive nation such as North Korea, which in this Senator's opinion is one of the gravest threats to the interests of the United States because of their outspoken attempt to acquire nuclear capability, we simply have to penetrate a secret society such as that with our intelligence apparatus more than we have been doing. Therefore, who is going to lead this administrative apparatus on intelligence gathering and intelligence analysis and intelligence coordination, with the multitude of agencies all dealing with intelligence, is extremely important. That is why I am standing here speaking on behalf of my fellow Floridian and my friend Porter Goss. This Congress will have a monumental task before it very shortly on the reorganization of the intelligence apparatus as well as the reorganization of putting our own house in order as we exercise that oversight or give direction to the executive branch of government. And that needs to be done better than we have in the past.”
