“I will just take 1 minute. I thank Senator Rockefeller and Senator Roberts for their cooperation in this effort and Senator Warner and Senator Levin for helping to proceed down the road here. We are happy to accept the modification, a modification that I think appropriately keeps the jurisdiction within the Intelligence Committee, but at the same time it also appropriately makes certain that the Senate will have the information necessary to be able to provide accountability with respect to these activities. So I thank my colleagues and look forward to the vote. I hope my colleagues will overwhelmingly embrace this amendment. I thank Senator Bingaman and Senator Graham for their courtesy. Mr. President, I yield back any time we have. Amendment No. 2515 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Mexico and the Senator from South Carolina each have 12\1/2\ minutes under their control. The Senator from New Mexico.”
