“I thank my friend from Oregon. I think he could not have chosen a more appropriate way to end than to reference what Ben Franklin said so many years ago, that great quote that ``those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.'' While many reforms still lie in front of us, I think, as we move forward to approving the USA FREEDOM Act, we move a lot closer to the balance that Ben Franklin articulated so well over 200 years ago. I look forward to working with my colleague from Oregon and all of our colleagues in achieving that balance and standing up for our constituents.”
