“I would ask why our Republican colleagues are saying that they won't let this package go through if it includes a provision that requires that wherever the FBI moves its new headquarters, that it meets the security requirements that we have set out for the men and women of the FBI. I appreciate the fact that the Senator from Maine talks about how I can offer an amendment on the Senate floor. I offered an amendment in committee to, essentially, accomplish this purpose. In fact, it went even further. It not only said you had to meet the level 5 security requirement, but you had to do it by selecting the place that had already been established to meet that purpose. The amendment passed through the democratic process in the Appropriations Committee. It passed.”
