What we have tried to do is get this effort down to its essence. The two versions, iterations that we had in the committee were, I thought, prolific with different ideas and requirements. We have an existing system. It works well. We have reaffirmed it in the latest intelligence act we recently passed in creating the National Intelligence Director. Let's make him or her the supervisor of this process; and the vehicle, the NIE. That's the customary way of doing it, and should be the preferred way of doing it. That is why we put that emphasis in this bill.
