"opening statement"
"I want to thank the chairman for having this committee hearing on the subject."
"I brought this subject up in S. 2265, where I offered a bill that would have cut off aid to the Palestinian Authority unless they were to renounce all ties to terrorism and payments such as these."
"I like your approach that you are talking about, being in favor of the frequent flyer program as a way to spend more time on those who you know less about and perhaps have more risk."
"I also am a believer that you accuse somebody of something, you get a warrant from a judge."
"I think it may require calling in advance, which is not always happening."
"I always thought that was a mistake because I think you need to spend more time where there is more risk and less time where there is less risk."
"I am not against you going after threats. I am not against you asking to look at a phone. But you have to ask a judge first."
"I do not think we should be stopping people from coming back into the country and demanding to look at everything on their phone."
"I think we can do better than this. And my hope is that not to defeat the bill, but to make the bill better."
"The intention is not to take down the bill. The intention is to make the bill better."
