I rise today to discuss the National Intelligence Reform bill. I commend my colleagues in both Houses for their hard work in coming to an agreement. As with any conference, each voice is heard, but none can dominate and compromise must be achieved.

I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially... They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes.

People who vote against this today are voting against me and I will not forget.

I am not opposed to intelligence reform on its face, but any changes should reflect the current context.

I do have concerns about the current efforts to restructure our nation's intelligence community.

The internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes.

The Internet...is a series of tubes.
