On the recordNovember 7, 1997
Sometimes we overlook the fact that we have men and women, dedicated men and women in the intelligence community in the United States of America, who are working literally 7 days a week, night and day, to make sure our national security remains nationally secure. I think that is something that sometimes gets overlooked and sometimes gets misinterpreted in our sensationalized and instantanealized media. I think every American should be proud of the folks in the intelligence community and the work they do, and should be thankful for them, as we are.
