“I wish to respond to the argument of the Senator from West Virginia that this amendment would somehow impose a burden because it would require the Government to identify information about U.S. persons. I wish to be clear, these use limits kick in only if the Government proposes to disseminate and use the information, in which case the bill's minimization procedures already require the Government to identify information about U.S. persons. So I can't for the life of me figure out what the Senator is referring to when he refers to new burdens. My amendment imposes no additional burden at all. I yield back the remainder of my time.”
