On the recordMay 19, 2000
Mr. Chairman, as indicated in the unclassified report accompanying H.R. 4392, the gentleman's committee is taking steps to reorganize the management, operations, and security of diplomatic telecommunications. That effort will affect the State Department, and the Committee on International Relations would like the opportunity to assess the impact of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence's recommendations. Accordingly, Mr. Chairman, I am asking if the chairman would agree that as this bill moves forward, the two committees can discuss the best approach to deal with the concerns that are reflected in the report to H.R. 4392.
