Gerald Ford actually said...

"I have no intention of seeing the intelligence community dismantled, its operations paralyzed, or its effectiveness undermined."

"This action indicates that a large majority of House Members shares my concern that our legitimate classified national security information be denied to our enemies and potential enemies."

"Today's vote shows the House Members recognize that the American people want a strong and effective foreign intelligence capability."

"Today's House vote demonstrates that it also takes seriously its responsibility to protect national security secrets."
