The FBI have said they never heard of a magistrate walking, a federal magistrate walking in and stopping an interrogation the way this was done.

My belief was, I can't go into what it was, that you have those two instances, plus the Russians giving him -- giving the FBI his name. To me, this is more than just a coincidence when you have three different events like that.

I would just follow up on what the commissioner said. I am not in a position to invite people to the NYPD, but it really works.

I will certainly discuss it with the Chairman of the full committee.

Obviously at the time this was originally scheduled we did not know that the attack in Boston was going to occur.

This is absolutely essential that legislation be passed.

The decision to hand on this case in the civilian court has re-ignited a bitter debate.

I think 'The Sequester' is crazy. I think the president had to show them leadership. Congress should do more, but to sit here by myself serves no purpose.

I think what we need to do going forward is what New York City does very well...

I would suggest also, and the question, of course, though, that we factor in...

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I think it's important to point out that the House bill never contained any of those extraneous provisions. When the bill came over here, our leadership agreed that all that was taken out so that there…

He kept telling me wait until the vote is over, wait until the fiscal cliff vote is over, everything will be taken care of, and then he was gone. He refused to meet with us. He actually yelled at Congressman Lobiondo, said, I'm not meeting…

I have no further speakers. If the gentleman from Mississippi has no further speakers, I am prepared to close.

I urge the adoption of this bipartisan, commonsense bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have no further speakers. If the gentleman from Mississippi also has none, I'm prepared to close once the gentleman does. {time} 1450

I strongly believe that the United States should lead by example and not wait for others to take the lead.

I think everything should be on the table. I am myself opposed to tax increases. I'm not going to prejudge it and I'm just saying we should not be taking ironclad positions.

The intelligence community said that Al Qaeda was involved. That was taken out by someone in the White House.

It is still not clear how the final talking points emerged. He said he went through a long process involving many agencies, including the Department of Justice, including the State Department, and no one knows yet exactly who came up with…

The intelligence community said that al Qaeda was involved. That was taken out by someone in the White House. The intelligence community did give an accurate estimate...

Well, yes, but the information -- pieced by the White House, the intelligence community in their original talking points had in there about the al Qaeda affiliation. That was taken out after it left the intelligence community.

Without going into detail, there were several reports clearly stating that al Qaeda affiliated groups were involved in the attack and were very heavily involved in the attack and that did not make it into the talking points.

Somebody in the White House did that.

I don't believe that the talking points that were given to Susan Rice contained all the intelligence the intelligence community had.
