      By Mr. KENNEDY:
  S. 3637. A bill to require the submittal to Congress of any 
Presidential Daily Briefing relating to Iraq during the period 
beginning on January 20, 1997, and ending on March 19, 2003; read the 
first time.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I am introducing legislation on an 
intelligence issue, p. 3637.
  The legislation requires the administration to provide the prewar 
Presidential daily briefs on Iraq to the Senate Intelligence Committee 
for its investigation on the way the administration's policymakers used 
this intelligence in its decision to go to war.
  I introduced an identical bill, S. 2175, on December 22 last year, 
but it has not yet been reported out of the Intelligence Committee.
  It is essential that the Intelligence Committee have access to all 
the information about prewar intelligence in Iraq for its 
investigation. With threats looming in North Korea and Iran, we need to 
learn from the mistakes of the past to ensure that we do not repeat 
them. The PDBs are extremely relevant to this issue, and Congress 
should have access to them.
