Political Quotes

“America has been without an intelligence authorization bill for almost 3 years. That is certainly long enough. The bill before us contains many important provisions that will strengthen our intelligence capabilities to fight terrorism and keep our country safe. The bill includes a number of provisions that will begin to restore proper congressional oversight and includes a provision sponsored by Senator Feinstein that will require all intelligence professionals in the U.S. Government to adhere to the interrogation standards included in the Army Field Manual. I appreciate the work of Senator Feinstein, who has dedicated much of her life to making our country safer. She spends untold hours, along with other Intelligence Committee members, in the Hart Building, listening to and evaluating what is happening in the intelligence community in our country and around the world. I urge all my colleagues to join with me in voting to support her in this effort.”
