DNI vs. House [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Pete Hoekstra just read this on the House floor:
STATEMENT BY THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
I have reviewed the proposal that the House of Representatives is expected to vote on this afternoon to modify the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The House proposal is unacceptable, and I strongly oppose it.
The House proposal would not allow me to carry out my responsibility to provide warning and to protect the Nation, especially in our heightened threat environment.
I urge Members of Congress to support the legislation I provided last evening to modify FISA and to equip our Intelligence Community with the tools we need to protect our Nation.
