I believe that reforming our intelligence community is one of the most important things that we can do in order to ensure that our country is in fact safer, stronger and wiser.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I certainly believe that improving our intelligence is of important national interest.
I do have concerns about the current efforts to restructure our nation's intelligence community.
We will have to continue to improve our human intelligence system-something that was, unfortunately, lacking in the years which led up to September 11. This is going to be a continuing process of change.
I am not opposed to intelligence reform on its face, but any changes should reflect the current context.
Improving our national intelligence capabilities should remain a top priority and a continual process.
We need to make a greater investment in human intelligence.
Intelligence is our first line of defense against terrorism, and we must improve the collection capabilities and analysis of intelligence to protect the security of the United States and its allies.
You want to keep intelligence separate from policy.
As a former career intelligence professional, I have a profound appreciation for the value of intelligence. Intelligence disrupts terrorist plots and thwarts attacks. Intelligence saves lives.
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.
