  Mr. ROCKEFELLER. Mr. President, the Senate is poised to take action 
today that is more than two years overdue. Today we will pass the 
Fiscal Year 2008 Intelligence Authorization bill.
  For the first 27 years after Congress created the intelligence 
oversight committees, the annual authorization bill was considered 
absolute-must-pass legislation. Its importance to our national security 
was obvious to all. But in 2005 and 2006, the bills reported out of the 
Senate Intelligence Committee were never even brought before the Senate 
for consideration. I still cannot explain the reasons this happened, 
but thanks to hard work of the committee and the support of the 
majority leader, Senator Reid, we are about to correct that failing.
  The Intelligence Authorization bill is the tool the Congress uses to 
provide direction for the execution of some of the most sensitive and 
important national security programs conducted by the U.S. Government. 
This year's bill contains provisions, including specific requests from 
the Director of National Intelligence, intended to improve the work of 
the intelligence community. These provisions provide greater 
flexibility and authority to the DNI; require greater accountability 
from the intelligence community and its managers; improve the 
mechanisms for conducting oversight of intelligence programs; and 
reform intelligence program acquisition procedures.
  Let me take a few minutes to provide my colleagues with more detail 
on the provisions in each of these areas.
  The most significant reform of the intelligence community since its 
inseption in 1947 was the creation of the director of National 
Intelligence. With 2 \1/2\ years of experience behind us, we have begun 
identifying ways to bolster the DNI's efforts to better coordinate the 
16 different elements of the intelligence community. Starting with 
personnel authority, this bill uses a more flexible approach to 
authorize personnel levels and also gives the DNI the ability to exceed 
those ceilings by as much as 5 percent.
  Because control of the budget is a key tool for the DNI, the bill 
changes reprogramming requirements to make it easier to address 
emerging needs, authorizes the DNI to use interagency funding to 
establish national intelligence centers, and establishes a contingency 
fund for the DNI, to react to emergencies or unforeseen opportunities. 
The bill also enables the DNI to fund information-sharing efforts that 
span across the intelligence community. Finally, it repeals several 
unneeded and burdensome reporting requirements.
  As it increases the authority of the DNI, the bill also improves 
oversight of the intelligence community. The bill creates a strong, 
independent inspector general for the intelligence community, confirmed 
by the Senate, within the office of the DNI, and establishes statutory 
inspectors general at the NSA, NRO, DIA and NGA. The bill also gives 
the Congress more oversight of the major intelligence agencies by 
requiring Senate confirmation of the directors of the NSA, NRO and NGA 
and establishing a Senate-confirmed deputy director for the CIA. And as 
we increase the DNI's flexibility to manage personnel, we require an 
annual assessment of personnel levels across the intelligence community 
to include a statement that those levels are supported by adequate 
infrastructure, training and funding, and a review of the appropriate 
use of contractors.

  The committee has been concerned that intelligence failures and 
programmatic blunders too often occur without anyone in a position of 
responsibility being held accountable. The bill gives the DNI the 
authority to conduct accountability reviews across the intelligence 
community if he deems it necessary or if requested by Congress. It also 
improves financial management by requiring a variety of actions related 
to the production of auditable financial statements--a standard most 
intelligence agencies cannot currently meet and an issue the committee 
has focused on for several years.
  The final major theme in the bill is the reform of the acquisition 
process. The bill requires a vulnerability assessment for all major 
acquisition programs, and attempts to curb the profligate cost overruns 
and schedule delays we have witnessed in recent years by creating an 
annual reporting system on all major intelligence community 
acquisitions similar to the Nunn-McCurdy statute for defense 
acquisitions.
  In addition to these legislative provisions, the bill is accompanied 
by a classified annex that includes specific budget recommendations. 
The budgets are necessarily classified, but any Senator wishing to 
review them has had that opportunity. The committee budget 
recommendations include a substantial increase for advanced research 
and development programs. The classified annex also includes language 
directing the intelligence community to restructure its strategy for 
acquiring imagery intelligence systems.
  All of these provisions, in the public bill and the classified annex, 
are important to ensuring that the intelligence community has the 
authority and resources it needs to protect this country, and that 
there are mechanisms in place for appropriate oversight of these very 
sensitive programs.
  Before I conclude I would be remiss if I did not mention the people 
who worked so hard to get this bill to this point. First and foremost 
among those is my incredibly dedicated vice chairman, Senator Kit Bond. 
He has been tireless in his efforts to identify and remove obstacles to 
the bill's passage. We would not have gotten here today without that 
effort. His commitment to real oversight, conducted in a bipartisan 
way, represents a return to the way the committee had operated for most 
of its history.
  Next let me thank the members of the staff who played such a key role 
in preparing the bill and the annex and who have worked many hours on 
this task. First, the committee staff director, Andy Johnson, has 
implemented the committee's aggressive oversight agenda and has led the 
staff with true professionalism. I rely heavily on his counsel. His 
counterpart on the minority side, Louis Tucker, has not just supported 
Vice Chairman Bond but has made an enormous contribution to the success 
of our efforts so far this year. The general counsel, Mike Davidson, 
and minority counsel, Jack Livingston,

[[Page S12475]]

have been extraordinarily meticulous in drafting the legislative 
language that makes up the public bill. The committee is lucky to have 
them both. The budget director, Lorenzo Goco, did a superb job in 
putting together the classified annex. And as chairmen have been doing 
for the past 20 years, I give a special thanks to our chief clerk 
Kathleen McGhee for making everything on the committee work.
  I look forward to the passage of this bill and the swift completion 
of a conference with the House so that we can enact a bill to help 
secure this nation from its enemies.
  Mr. President, at this time I ask unanimous consent that the 
committee-reported amendments--which Senator Bond is about to say some 
words to and which he had an enormous amount to do with--be agreed to, 
the amendment at the desk be considered and agreed to; that the bill, 
as amended, be read three times; that the Intelligence Committee be 
then discharged from consideration of H.R. 2082, the House companion, 
and the Senate then proceed to its consideration; that all after the 
enacting clause be stricken and the text of S. 1538, as amended, be 
inserted in lieu thereof; that the bill be read a third time, passed, 
and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table; that upon passage, 
the Senate insist on its amendment, request a conference with the House 
on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses, and that the Chair be 
authorized to appoint conferees on the part of the Senate; that S. 1538 
be returned to the calendar, and any statements be printed at the 
appropriate place in the Record without intervening action or debate.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  Mr. BOND. No objection on this side.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  The committee amendments were agreed to.
  The amendment (No. 3160) was agreed to.

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Missouri is 
recognized.
  Mr. BOND. Mr. President, has the time for the majority side expired?
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. There is 51 seconds remaining. I 
don't see anyone seeking recognition, so the Senator from Missouri is 
recognized.
  Mr. BOND. I thank the Chair. Most of all, I thank my chairman, 
Senator Rockefeller. I thank the chairman of the committee and all of 
the members of the committee to be able to pass this very important 
intelligence authorization bill. We have had a 3-year hiatus with no 
intelligence authorization bill. This came despite multiple attempts on 
the Senate floor. Today, we see, fortunately, the end of that cycle 
with the passage of the fiscal year 2008 intelligence authorization 
bill.
  Passing this bill is important and noteworthy because it is one of 
the committee's most important tools in providing strong congressional 
oversight of the intelligence activities the American people expect and 
deserve. This bill we have just passed contains important provisions 
that would improve the effectiveness of our intelligence agencies, most 
of which were requested by the intelligence community. It is not a 
perfect bill, and there are a few things in it that I may not totally 
agree with, but overall this bill will benefit the intelligence 
community and marks the important reassertion of congressional 
oversight over our intelligence agencies and operations.
  I commend Chairman Rockefeller for all of his hard work and the 
diplomacy, skill, and patience in putting together the managers' 
amendment that brought us to the floor today. In particular, we worked 
very hard to keep the bill clean and to strip it of challengeable and 
politically charged amendments, things that would have drawn objections 
from this side and the other side. Several Senators on both sides of 
the aisle had to give until it hurt to reach agreements, and I thank 
them for their flexibility and cooperation. We cannot get this bill 
done or any bill done in this Senate without bipartisan cooperation. 
With this bill, the chairman and I and our committee are making a great 
step forward in returning the work of the Intelligence Committee to 
nonpartisan oversight and away from the politics that have weakened it 
over the past few years. We have limited the bill to just those 
provisions that had strong bipartisan support. Chairman Rockefeller and 
I were also able to get a number of good-government positions into our 
bill that will improve the effectiveness of our intelligence agencies.
  Having said that, my colleagues should know that the chairman and I 
will fight very hard to keep this agreement in conference.
  If the House were to put in political amendments or other problematic 
amendments which the Senate would not support, I will not support the 
bill. Intelligence should be conducted behind closed doors. When we 
talk about our intelligence matters openly in other committees or on 
this floor, we hamper our intelligence ability.
  I asked the current Director of the Central Intelligence Agency at 
his confirmation hearing about 16 months ago: How badly have the 
disclosures of our most sensitive intelligence methods hurt our ability 
to deal with terrorists?
  He ruefully said: We are now applying the Darwinian theory to 
terrorists. We are only capturing the dumb ones.
  Every time we talk in public about how we capture information, it 
gives a roadmap to the terrorists to know exactly how to avoid being 
intercepted. Unfortunately, there have in recent days been more 
examples of such disclosures.
  But back to this bill. This bill provides for the empowerment of the 
Director of National Intelligence to conduct accountability reviews of 
the individual elements of the intelligence community in relation to 
significant failures or deficiencies.
  This provision will encourage the intelligence community to address 
their own internal failures or inefficiencies--something they have been 
reluctant to do on their own. In the event that they are reluctant or 
unable to do so, this amendment gives the DNI the authority he needs to 
step in and conduct his own reviews, authority the Director of National 
Intelligence currently does not have.
  The Intelligence authorization bill also contains a wide range of 
other important provisions that will improve the efficiency and 
accountability of the intelligence community, while at the same time 
providing the DNI with additional authority and flexibility, including 
creation of a strong, independent inspector general for the 
intelligence community; additional authorities for the DNI to improve 
information sharing in the intelligence community; measures to protect 
the cover of our clandestine intelligence officers; and measures to 
address excessive cost growth in major acquisition programs--a real 
problem we have seen in recent years.
  The intelligence community has now gone 2 years without the detailed 
guidance from the Congress that only this Intelligence authorization 
bill can provide. I hope we can move this bill expeditiously through a 
conference with the House to correct that situation.
  We must do a better job of asserting congressional oversight of the 
intelligence community, and one of the best ways to accomplish that 
goal is to pass the annual Intelligence authorization bill. I am proud 
to announce that today we have done that.
  Mr. President, how much time do I have remaining?
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator has 4\1/2\ minutes.
  Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I want to talk more broadly about the war on 
terror and say it is with pleasure that we see the President's policy 
of bringing back troops home when they complete their mission 
successfully. Return on success is working. Marines are coming home 
after having pacified Al Anbar Province and turned the responsibility 
for maintaining security over to the Iraqi security forces. I know 
about that personally and it is working. The marines are coming home. 
We know they are coming home because

[[Page S12476]]

there was a story this morning on television about how marines were 
held up for about 2\1/2\ hours by the TSA at one of the places they 
landed in the United States. They refused to allow the marines to go 
into the terminal because I guess they provided some kind of threat. In 
any event, the marines are now coming back to face additional 
challenges--not just the challenges of the TSA that we all undergo, 
but, regrettably, too many of them have mental health problems, TBI and 
PTSD, and in the Defense authorization bill we have passed provisions 
to assist the wounded warriors coming home. But they have been 
successful, and return on success means al-Qaida is no longer able to 
exercise control over Al Anbar.
  For those who think this is a diversion in the battle in the war on 
terror, all they have to do is listen to the leaders, Osama bin Laden 
and Zawihiri, who have said the headquarters of the caliphate from 
which they are going to conduct worldwide operations is the land 
between the two rivers. That is, of course, Iraq. If they win there, 
they are stronger, and they will establish their headquarters there.
  The intelligence community leaders, in January of this year, spoke in 
open session before the Intelligence Committee. They said if we 
withdraw before we have established relative peace and stability in the 
area--in other words, if we withdraw on a political timetable dictated 
by this body--there will be chaos. Three things will happen. There will 
be increased killing among Shia and Sunni, genocide and bloodshed. Two, 
that will bring in the other states in the region to protect their 
coreligionists, and we will see the potential of a regionwide sectarian 
war. Three, most frighteningly, al-Qaida will establish the safe haven 
they have sought in Al Anbar and elsewhere from which to embolden their 
efforts and attack the United States and United States persons abroad, 
and our allies.
  All you have to do to get an idea of the effectiveness of our new 
counterinsurgency efforts, led by General Petraeus, is to pay attention 
to what was found in the pocket of Abu al-Tunisi, the Tunisian al-Qaida 
leader in Iraq who was responsible for bringing foreign fighters into 
Iraq--the ones from Iran, Syria, Yemen, and others, with all of the 
resources they had. Al-Tunisi had written letters to his leader, 
saying: I am suffering. They are strangling us. I cannot get support.
  We have hurt them and we have hurt them badly. Yes, al-Qaida is a 
threat, but al-Qaida is not basing that threat from Iraq. Their leaders 
are probably in the mountains of Pakistan or Afghanistan. I can assure 
you we are doing everything we can--and we obviously cannot discuss 
what we are doing--to capture and kill those leaders. Right now, we 
have taken advantage and the counterinsurgency strategy is working. I 
commend our troops and General Petraeus.
  I thank the Chair and I yield the floor.
  Mr. ROCKEFELLER. Will the Senator yield?
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator's time has expired.
  Mr. ROCKEFELLER. Mr. President, we worked together on this, and I ask 
unanimous consent to have 2 minutes.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, the Senator from 
West Virginia is recognized for 2 minutes.
  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, my understanding is that the Republican 
side is going to extend its request for morning business.
  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, I intend to ask unanimous consent that the 
time spent on the Intel bill not be deducted from our time.
  Mr. DURBIN. The Senator from Missouri spoke for approximately 10 
minutes, is that correct?
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. That is correct.
  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the majority 
side be given 10 additional minutes in morning business, 2 of those to 
be allocated to the Senator from West Virginia.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. BOND. Mr. President, does that include 10 minutes for my 
colleague from Texas? I will ask for 10 additional minutes for the 
minority side, which may have other subjects to talk about.
  Mr. DURBIN. Reserving the right to object. I was protecting your side 
for the 30 minutes initially allocated.
  Mr. BOND. In that case, I withdraw my request.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is the request there would be an 
additional 10 minutes on the Republican side?
  Mr. DURBIN. It is my understanding that 30 minutes was allocated to 
the Republican side for morning business. The Senator from Missouri 
spoke for approximately 10 minutes on an issue and asked that that not 
be deducted from the Republican morning business time. I am happy to 
acknowledge that, and I ask that we be given 10 minutes, 2 of which 
will be given to the Senator from West Virginia. So that protects those 
still here for the 30 minutes originally allocated for Republican 
morning business.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, the time will be 
so adjusted.
  The Senator from West Virginia is recognized.
  Mr. ROCKEFELLER. Mr. President, I thank the Chair and I thank the 
Senator from Illinois.
  All I wanted to say is that I think the unanimous consent agreement 
which has been reached is the start. I want to use every fiber in my 
body to thank the distinguished vice chairman, Senator Christopher 
Bond, from Missouri, for the enormous role he played in making this 
happen. It was objected to only a few days ago. It was cleared last 
night, and I think it exemplified the partnership the Senator from 
Missouri and myself are trying to bring to the Intelligence Committee. 
This is an example of our work.
  I yield the floor.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Texas is 
recognized.
  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, parliamentary inquiry: Is it now the 
appropriate time for us to begin our 30-minute allocation for morning 
business?
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator is correct. There is 
additional time on the Democratic side, but nobody is seeking 
recognition.
  Mr. CORNYN. I thank the Chair. I ask unanimous consent that following 
my remarks for up to 10 minutes, Senator Bennett be recognized for up 
to 10 minutes, and then Senator Kyl be recognized for up to 10 minutes.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
