Mr. Speaker, we have covered many things in the past year, to include tax policy, healthcare, helping eviscerate ISIS, but I would argue this is the most important moment in the time that I have been in this building.

That is who we are as a nation. If we do not put the ``F'' back in FISA, it becomes ISA, and all eyes are on you.
