“the point the chairman was discussing with the Senator from New Hampshire, it is the Senator from Pennsylvania who is mixing apples and oranges on the NSL requests. Let me point out these proceedings where you are supposed to challenge an NSL--they are in secret. They are in secret. The person challenging the NSL cannot see what the Government is arguing. So it is all well and good to say there is review of the NSL, but the challenge is not done in a fair proceeding. It is the chairman mixing apples and oranges. This is the second time the chairman has urged me to get a classified briefing. I did and it did not change my view of the underlying points being made, whether the Washington Post was completely accurate or not. I had that briefing and I tell you I didn't have the same reaction the Senator had. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Pennsylvania.”
