On the recordJune 23, 2004

Mr. Chairman, there is much that we expect from our military, from our intelligence personnel, and from our civilian employees in what we call this war on terrorism. We all take a great deal of pride in their work, their professionalism, their dedication, and, yes, sometimes the sacrifice that they make by making the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our great Nation. So my question this afternoon is, When we expect so much from them, why can we not expect the same from ourselves? Why can we not put together a piece of legislation that supports them with the same dedication, the same professionalism, the same level, 100 percent, of the funds that are required for them to succeed? In this legislation, Mr. Chairman, I was pleased to see that some focus in this bill is on improving the functioning of the new intelligence analysis element of the Department of Homeland Security.
