“If that is the case, I suggest then we perhaps take a few minutes to work out the language because there may be some technical problems with definitions of Federal employees. The language in the statute talks about receiving security clearances for access to information. We do not necessarily have security clearances, but we do have access, so there may be some technical provisions. I am very pleased if in fact my colleagues on the other side intend to include public officials. We might want to clean this up before we finalize it. The other question I have is, is there an intent element in this statute? Is it intentionally disclosing or unintentionally disclosing? Is it negligently, is it mistakingly, or is there the specific kind of intent one usually needs to have in statutes of this kind? How much time remains? The PRESIDING OFFICER. There is 39\1/2\ minutes remaining. Who yields time?”
