Saxby Chambliss: “I rise to state the Senate's lack of leadership in addressing…”

On the recordSeptember 20, 2012

I rise to state the Senate's lack of leadership in addressing sequestration will have long-term effects on our Nation's robust intelligence community which had to be rebuilt after 9/11. These budget cuts will make it very difficult for the intelligence community to keep Americans safe in future years. America hungers for leadership and, unfortunately, the Senate lacks leadership from the majority on these issues that affect the safety of all Americans. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Kansas.
