       Mr. Reyes moves that the House concur in the Senate 
     amendment.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1674, the 
motion shall be debatable for 1 hour, equally divided and controlled by 
the Chair and ranking minority member of the Permanent Select Committee 
on Intelligence.
  The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Reyes) and the gentleman from Michigan 
(Mr. Hoekstra) each will control 30 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.


                             General Leave

  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks 
and include extraneous material on this legislation.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I am proud to rise today in support of my motion to concur in the 
Senate amendment to H.R. 2701, the Intelligence Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2010.
  This bill has been a long time coming. It has been almost 6 years 
since an intelligence authorization bill has been signed into law. Year 
after year, the intelligence committees have marked up authorization 
bills and tried to get them enacted. And year after year, these efforts 
have fallen short.
  Authorization bills are critical to the smooth functioning of the 
intelligence community. We face innovative and aggressive adversaries, 
and the intelligence community needs the flexibility to adapt. But the 
authorities and institutions of the intelligence community are, to a 
large extent, set by statute. Only acts of Congress--traditionally in 
the form of authorization bills--can give the community the tools it 
needs to keep America safe.
  Most intelligence activities are, by necessity, shielded from public 
scrutiny. Congress has an obligation to ensure that the activities of 
the intelligence community are legal, effective,

[[Page H7302]]

and serve the best interests of the United States. The Intelligence 
Authorization Act is the principal means for doing this.
  The bill before us today meets this high standard. It is the product 
of months of bipartisan discussions between the House and Senate 
intelligence committees, leadership, and the White House. Let me 
highlight several important provisions.
  First, the bill would substantially reform the process through which 
the President notifies the so-called Gang of Eight regarding certain 
sensitive covert operations. As Members may know, the National Security 
Act gives the President the authority to limit briefings on certain 
sensitive covert actions to the Gang of Eight. It has been the belief 
of both intelligence committees that the Gang of Eight authority has 
been overused, and that the entire committee membership should be 
informed on matters of critical importance.
  For that reason, an earlier version of the bill removed the statutory 
authority for limiting briefings to the Gang of Eight. Last July, the 
administration threatened to veto the bill if it included that 
language. After months of tough negotiations, we have reached a 
compromise that substantially improves the notification process, and 
which the President will sign.
  The bill requires that the President notify all members of the 
intelligence committees that a Gang of Eight briefing has occurred and 
give a ``general description'' of that notification. It requires that 
the full briefing be automatically made available to all members in 6 
months, unless the President recertifies that the briefing must stay 
limited.
  It also requires that all Gang of Eight briefings be in writing and 
that the President maintain a written record of those receiving these 
limited briefings. Finally, like earlier drafts, it requires that the 
President provide the legal basis for an intelligence activity and sets 
a new standard for determining when certain activities must be 
notified.
  Second, the bill would help the General Accounting Office gain access 
to the intelligence community. For decades, the executive branch has 
prevented GAO from conducting audits or investigations into 
intelligence activities. This bill directs the Director of National 
Intelligence to come up with regulations to govern GAO access to the 
intelligence community.
  The new DNI, General Clapper, has suggested in testimony that he 
would be open to working with GAO. This provision would give him the 
opportunity to put his words into action.
  Third, the bill would put in place a number of measures to help stamp 
out waste, fraud, and abuse. It would create an Inspector General for 
the intelligence community, with authority to conduct oversight across 
the community and on the critical issues regarding coordination and 
cooperation between agencies. It also requires a comprehensive 
assessment of contracting practices across the community, which would 
give Congress the tools it needs to help control contractor costs.
  Fourth, the bill creates new cost-control measures for the 
acquisition of major systems, many of which have been subject to 
serious cost and schedule overruns in recent years. This includes a 
mechanism--based on the Department of Defense's Nunn-McCurdry 
provision--that requires congressional notification and program 
restructuring when certain cost thresholds are exceeded.
  Fifth, the bill modifies various authorities to ensure the 
intelligence community has the tools it needs to keep the country safe. 
These include an exemption to certain public disclosure requirements 
for operational files transferred to the ODNI, a reform that the 
Director of the National Counterterrorism Center said was critical to 
information sharing.
  Madam Speaker, these are vital reforms, as are others in this 
important bill. They have been priorities of this body, on a bipartisan 
basis, for a very long time. It's time we got these reforms enacted. 
It's time for us to pass this bill.
  Therefore, I urge all my colleagues to vote ``yes.''
  With that, Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. Madam Speaker, I yield myself as much time as I may 
consume.
  The fourth time for this bill on the floor is not the charm. This 
continues the process of bringing badly thought through, badly formed 
legislation on intel to the floor of the House of Representatives.
  This is the fourth rule that we've considered this year as we've gone 
through this process. It is interesting that this bill is titled the 
fiscal year 2010 authorization. It's September 29. Tomorrow is 
September 30. Maybe the President will sign this bill if we pass it 
tonight, meaning that much of the bill will be meaningless, or only in 
effect for 6 to 8 hours, maybe 10.
  This bill, I don't believe, Mr. Chairman, even has a classified 
annex. It was the one thing that we agreed on, on a bipartisan basis, 
as to how funding for the bill, or for the intelligence community and 
different agencies within the intelligence community, at what level 
they would be funded. Again, it's one part where we had bipartisan 
agreement. It's gone. We're now just authorizing the expenditures as 
done through the appropriations committee. Members have no time to 
review the classified annex. There was no classified annex outlining 
these specific appropriations levels by different organizations within 
the intelligence community. Nothing for the Members to review.
  The notifications, it's a fig leaf. It says the administration still 
shall determine who shall be informed of what and when.

                              {time}  1840

  We had stronger language before, accepted on a bipartisan basis. Now 
all the administration has to do is notify other people that the Gang 
of Four or the Gang of Eight has been notified of certain information, 
but they don't have to disclose. They have to outline why, but there is 
no requirement for more complete exposure.
  It is a fig leaf that may serve as a justification for dealing with a 
complaint that was made by the Speaker of the House in May of 2009. The 
Speaker of this House said the CIA ``misleads us all the time.'' You 
know, we've asked for more of an explanation on that. The chairman of 
the committee and the chairwoman of the subcommittee in October 2009 
said that they were going to do a notification and a covert action 
investigation--as far as I can tell, it has never happened, and it is 
not complete after almost a year now--to find out if there were 
problems with notification and if it were true that, as the Speaker 
claimed, the CIA misleads us all the time. So, in one way, we are 
providing something that may serve in dealing with this allegation by 
the Speaker.
  At the same time, we have CIA employees around the world who did what 
the administration asked them to do and what previous administrations 
notified Congress they were doing about what they were going to do to 
keep America safe. They notified, and took Congress through that in 
great detail. The people went through that notification process in 
great detail, understanding that, when they left, if the administration 
had had a problem with it, they ought to have stood up and said, 
``We've got issues with these, and we need to work through them.'' 
Instead, there was either silence or affirmation that what the CIA and 
what these individuals within the CIA were doing was appropriate, was 
necessary and was supported by the political leadership of this Nation 
as being their best intent to keep us safe.
  So, while this bill may serve to provide some people with political 
cover, it does nothing to protect the CIA employees who now, for the 
third time, are under review by the Justice Department as to whether 
they should be prosecuted for doing what the political leadership of 
this country asked them to do.
  Where is the equality? Where is the fairness? How does this serve our 
national interest by allowing these people to continue to be hung out, 
facing possible prosecution? It is wrong. It is inappropriate. It 
should have been dealt with in this bill.
  I will detail a number of other issues that also need to be dealt 
with, but at this point in time, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from California

[[Page H7303]]

(Ms. Harman) for the purpose of a unanimous consent request.
  (Ms. HARMAN asked and was given permission to revise and extend her 
remarks.)
  Ms. HARMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 2701. I 
commend the Speaker and committee majority for achieving administration 
support for more inclusive briefings.
  Madam Speaker, during four years as Ranking Member of the House 
Intelligence Committee, I fought hard to expand the handful of Members 
briefed by the Bush administration. In my view, that administration 
abused the definition of covert action under the National Security Act 
of 1947.
  Recently declassified transcripts from those briefings will show 
instances when serious concerns were raised regarding legal authorities 
for a range of policies, including ``enhanced interrogation 
techniques.''
  Those were dark days, when even as Ranking Member, I struggled to get 
operational details about programs well within the jurisdiction of our 
committee.
  As a member of the so-called ``Gang of 8,'' I had no ability to 
consult staff or other colleagues about the information I received.
  By the end of the Bush administration, more Members were briefed 
about sensitive programs, but the changes were not sufficient. It has 
taken a lot of persuasion to convince the Obama administration to agree 
formally to brief the entire committee, in most cases, about the 
government's covert action programs.
  The bill before us today requires the President to provide all 
Members of the Intelligence Committee the same briefings delivered to 
the ``Gang of 8'' within 6 months unless he certifies ``extraordinary 
circumstances.''
  And all Members of the Intelligence Committee must be notified that a 
Gang of 8 briefing has occurred.
  The bill also requires the Director of National Intelligence to work 
with GAO to gain access to information within the Intelligence 
Community to be included in their reports.
  These changes go a long way toward correcting the problems that 
plagued both sides of the aisle during my tenure on the House 
Intelligence Committee.
  I am also pleased that the bill contains a provision I authored to 
require the DNI, in consultation with the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, to submit a report to Congress about the threat of dirty 
bombs (including highly dispersible substances such as cesium-137).
  As an institution, Congress must exert our prerogative to monitor and 
rectify problems that surface in the programs that affect both our 
security and our liberty.
  The American people deserve no less.
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the chair of the 
Intelligence Community Management Subcommittee, the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Eshoo).
  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Chairman, thank you for your distinguished leadership 
of the House Intelligence Committee.
  Madam Speaker, after 5 long years, we will soon have an intelligence 
authorization bill enacted into law. I would have thought that the 
ranking member of the committee would at least acknowledge that, 
because it is an accomplishment. It is an accomplishment that is worth 
highlighting, and it is an accomplishment that should be a source of 
pride to all Members of Congress, because the Congress is weighing in 
with its priorities.
  Now, passage of this act, in my view, is going to reassert Congress' 
role in the oversight of our Nation's intelligence agencies. We have a 
very special duty to oversee intelligence activities because our 
Nation's security is always at stake.
  As the chair of the Subcommittee on Intelligence Community 
Management, I've had a particular interest in congressional oversight 
and the tools that we need to improve it. This bill contains many 
provisions that will improve the congressional oversight of 
intelligence activities.
  First, the bill requires the DNI to establish procedures to allow GAO 
access to intelligence community information. This provision will 
clarify the guidelines under which GAO may audit the intelligence 
community while recognizing that GAO, on behalf of the intelligence 
committees, has the authority to do so. The new DNI Clapper noted the 
value of GAO studies during his confirmation hearing, and this 
provision will give him the opportunity to live up to his words.
  Second, the bill modifies statutory authorization for the so-called 
``Gang of Eight'' procedure, and raises the threshold for this limited 
notification. This is a big change. It requires that the President 
inform all members of the intelligence committees that a Gang of Eight 
briefing has occurred and provide a general description of that 
briefing.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mr. REYES. I yield the gentlewoman an additional 30 seconds.
  Ms. ESHOO. All committee members will receive a full briefing 6 
months after the Gang of Eight briefing unless the President continues 
to certify that ``extraordinary circumstances'' still exist that 
require a limited briefing.
  These were hard fought-for changes and reforms, and they were not 
easy to come to. I think that, regardless of whether it is a Republican 
administration or a Democratic administration, these reforms are tough 
to get. Yet they have been secured, and I think they are very 
important, not only for the operation and the oversight of the 
committees, but for the betterment of the American people and our 
national security.
  Finally, the bill creates a statutory and independent Inspector 
General for the intelligence community, and I think that this is 
another great plus.
  This bill strengthens the prerogatives of Congress, and I urge my 
colleagues to support it.
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. Madam Speaker, at this time, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Gallegly).
  (Mr. GALLEGLY asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. GALLEGLY. Madam Speaker, this is my last opportunity to address 
the House as a member of the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence. The past 8 years have been the opportunity of a lifetime 
for me.
  I want to thank former Speaker Denny Hastert and Minority Leader John 
Boehner for appointing me to this critically important committee.
  I also want to take a minute to express my great appreciation to the 
most impressive staff I've ever served with, particularly Jim Lewis, 
our staff director. Jim is clearly a true patriot, and the service he 
has provided our country I will carry throughout the rest of my life.
  I am going to miss the committee, but I will never forget the 
opportunities of the last 8 years.
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the chairman of the 
Technical and Tactical Intelligence Subcommittee, the gentleman from 
Maryland (Mr. Ruppersberger).
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
  Madam Speaker, as a member of the House Intelligence Committee, as 
chairman of the Technical and Tactical Intelligence Subcommittee and as 
a proud representative of the National Security Agency, which is in my 
district, I rise in support of H.R. 2701.
  It has been nearly 6 years since an intelligence authorization bill 
has been enacted into law. These bills help ensure that the 
intelligence community has the tools it needs to keep us safe and that 
Congress has the tools it needs to be effective in its oversight 
capacity.

                              {time}  1850

  The bill before us today does both, and I would like to highlight two 
provisions.
  First, the bill includes significant reforms to the way the 
intelligence community makes major purchases. Our subcommittee has 
focused much of our time on helping to ensure that we buy the right 
kind of satellites at the right price. Just like recent reforms to our 
defense procurement process, this bill helps us protect tax dollars 
while keeping our country safe and secure.
  The Nunn-McCurdy provision requires congressional notification when 
costs run significantly over budget and cancels programs that run 25 
percent or more over budget unless we get a reasonable explanation.
  Second, the bill gives the Director of National Intelligence a voice 
in the process as we review and update security-related export controls 
known as ITAR.
  These regulations restrict what American companies can sell overseas, 
but there are prohibitions on old, simple, and widely available 
technologies that are putting American companies at a severe 
disadvantage to foreign competitors. Before the restrictions went into 
effect in 1998, 73 percent of the world market for commercial 
satellites went to U.S. companies. By 2000,

[[Page H7304]]

that figure had dropped to 27 percent. That's unacceptable.
  Loosening these outdated restrictions is critical to more than 
250,000 American jobs supported by the satellite industry, which has 
taken a hit with the global economic downturn. Over the past 2 years, 
the industry has shed about 5 percent of its workforce.
  In addition to this bill under consideration today, the House has 
passed an ITAR provision in the Foreign Affairs authorization, and we 
are waiting for the Senate to act.
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. At this time, I yield 5 minutes to my colleague from 
Texas (Mr. Thornberry).
  Mr. THORNBERRY. I appreciate the gentleman from Michigan yielding.
  Madam Speaker, I think it's important also to express my appreciation 
to the gentleman from Michigan who has served on this committee for the 
last 8 years, including as chairman of the committee and, for the last 
4 years, as the ranking member of the committee. The contributions he 
has made in that capacity to the country will never be fully known, but 
those of us on the committee I think do appreciate the considerable 
work that he has done and the contributions he has made.
  It's unfortunate that the last bill on which he will help manage time 
on the floor is this bill. I don't see how any Member can come and 
congratulate ourselves on finally getting an intelligence authorization 
bill to the floor that doesn't even have a classified annex to it. It 
doesn't seem to me to be a real bill at all. Unfortunately, and through 
no fault of the chairman who has been struggling to get a bill to the 
floor for months--years, actually, more than a year; it is not his 
fault--but this is not a real bill.
  Madam Speaker, as a matter of fact, the history of this bill is 
rather pitiful. It was reported out of the committee in June of 2009, 
but then for 8 months you couldn't find time to bring it to the floor. 
Now, why was that? It wasn't like we had a lot of other pressing 
business for 8 months that prevented this bill from coming to the 
floor. It was because the Speaker set off a firestorm and controversy 
about when she was briefed on interrogations and what she knew and when 
she knew it. And then to defend herself, she charged that the CIA lies 
to us or misleads us all the time.
  Well, then the bill could not be brought to the floor because there 
had to be a way found to protect the Speaker. And so 8 months later it 
finally comes to the floor, and then it takes two rules to get it to 
the floor because there was a provision added in the manager's 
amendment, again to prosecute CIA people, to hold them to a higher 
standard of accountability than all the law enforcement folks around 
the country. So they had to go back to the drawing board.
  Now, 7 months after that, we are brought this kind of a shell bill 
and asked to rubber-stamp on the last day of the session what the 
Senate has done. As I say, Madam Speaker, I don't think there's much to 
be proud of here.
  On the notification provision that we've heard so much about, it does 
very little. And I think it is sad in a lot of ways that the majority 
walked away from the bipartisan, the truly bipartisan compromise of a 
couple years ago that would raise the bar and require any 
administration to give this Congress more information. Instead, we have 
this token language which does very little, and yet, Madam Speaker, as 
the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center testified last 
week before the Senate, we have had more attempted attacks on our 
homeland over the past year than at any time since the attacks of 9/11.
  So I think what is particularly unfortunate is what this bill does 
not do. This bill does nothing to prevent Guantanamo detainees from 
being brought here to the mainland of the United States, and yet 
tomorrow, the end of the fiscal year, tomorrow, all of the existing 
statutory prohibitions on bringing those terrorists here to the 
mainland expire. This bill was an opportunity to do something about 
that, and yet it does nothing.
  This bill says nothing about releasing detainees who end up returning 
to the fight and come back attacking and sometimes killing our soldiers 
around the world.
  This bill does nothing about foreign terrorists being told that they 
have the right to remain silent even before we get the information we 
need from them to prevent the next attack. Even though this House has 
voted on a bipartisan basis that they are not entitled to be told they 
can remain silent before we get the information we need, that's not in 
this bill.
  This bill does nothing to try to resolve the issues of whether 
detainees should be tried in military or civilian courts, and yet those 
are some of the very issues that the American people want to see 
resolved.
  For you see, Madam Speaker, for the last several months House 
Republicans have been listening to people and asking them what they 
would like to see done in Congress, and we've heard lots of information 
about not letting taxes go up, about restraining spending, repealing 
the health care bill, but on national security, the things we heard and 
the things that are in the Pledge to America talk about bringing 
detainees to the United States and about not letting them be released 
prematurely so that they return to the fight and not caring more about 
their rights than about the rights of the lives of Americans that we 
try to prevent.
  We could do a lot better than this bill, Madam Speaker, and it should 
be rejected.
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to a member of the 
committee, the gentleman from California (Mr. Schiff).
  Mr. SCHIFF. I thank the chairman for yielding, and I want to 
compliment him on all his hard work in bringing the bill to this point 
after a long, tough challenge for many years.
  I rise in strong support, Madam Speaker, of H.R. 2701, the 
Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010.
  This long overdue bill is the work of a committee that has been 
diligently pursuing, for years, our national security. H.R. 2701 
addresses many vital areas and contains critical provisions that will 
assist us in combating the ever-evolving and emerging threats that our 
Nation faces, such as those emanating from the FATA in Pakistan, Yemen, 
the Horn of Africa, and Somalia.
  In this bill, we've sought to provide the necessary guidance and 
authorities for the critical intelligence and intelligence-related 
activities of our U.S. military and civilian personnel in Iraq and 
Afghanistan, and provide important support to address emerging issues 
in Africa, Latin America, and elsewhere.
  I'm proud to say this bill also goes a long way toward bringing 
increased fiscal responsibility to the intelligence community. By 
reducing the cost overruns on our major systems acquisitions, the 
acquisitions provision of this bill will free up money to devote to our 
military and civilians combating threats and preserving our national 
security in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, and elsewhere.
  This is a strong piece of legislation. It will make our country 
safer. I urge my colleagues to pass the bill and let us have an 
intelligence authorization act this Congress while we have so many men 
and women in uniform and out of uniform fighting for our safety and 
security.
  I thank you again, Mr. Chairman, for your perseverance on this.

                              {time}  1900

  Mr. HOEKSTRA. I yield myself 1 minute.
  Madam Speaker, I find it interesting that people talk about, we are 
bringing fiscal responsibility back to the Intelligence Committee. 
There's not even a classified annex which outlines the spending that 
this committee believes each of the agencies should have for running 
their operations for fiscal year 2010. As I said earlier, that's one 
area where we had bipartisan agreement. That's been taken out. That's 
gone. We are not providing any type of fiscal direction to the 
intelligence community by telling them what we believe our priorities 
are.
  The other interesting thing, as we go through this process, is that 
in the bill 2 years ago, we had a bipartisan vote on the floor. We 
adopted an amendment that I offered to prohibit the use of authorized 
funds for earmark purposes. As you take a look here, we've authorized 
everything that the Appropriations Committee has done. What has the 
Appropriations Committee done? Lots of earmarks in the intelligence 
bill.

[[Page H7305]]

  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, I now yield 2 minutes to a member of the 
committee, the gentleman from Oklahoma, who just, I might add, had a 
son last week, and a valued member of our committee, Mr. Boren.
  Mr. BOREN. Mr. Chairman, I thank you for all the hard work you and 
the entire staff have done on this legislation.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 2701, the Intelligence 
Authorization Act of 2010. This bill is an excellent product and 
addresses many critical areas, including those that have previously 
received little attention. One of the most important provisions in the 
bill is the commitment to developing foreign language capability, 
specifically in African languages that have historically been 
underrepresented in the intelligence community.
  The bill creates a pilot program under the National Security 
Education Program, or the NSEP. It expands the David L. Boren Scholars 
by requiring the Director of National Intelligence to identify five 
high-priority African languages for which language education programs 
do not currently exist. The NSEP would then develop intensive training 
programs for implementation in both the United States and in countries 
where the languages are spoken.
  Let's not forget that 10 years ago, we didn't anticipate conflicts 
along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border and the need for Dari, Pashto, 
and Urdu speakers. When the need arose, we didn't have the capabilities 
to meet immediate demands, and to this day, we are still playing 
catchup. Similarly, we cannot predict from where the next crisis will 
emerge. But by recognizing the current instability in the Horn of 
Africa, Sudan, and Congo, we can anticipate crises that may impact U.S. 
national security interests in the near future. We should be training 
the linguists and translators in the relevant languages now so that, 
once again, we are not reactive in our efforts but proactive in our 
actions. I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. I yield 4 minutes to my colleague from Michigan (Mr. 
Rogers).
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I too want to extend my thanks 
and gratitude on behalf of a grateful Nation for the work and service 
behind closed doors, with the microphones and the cameras gone, that 
the gentleman from Michigan has given to the Intelligence Committee and 
the intelligence community, and his efforts to continue to fight for 
policy that keeps Americans safe.
  Sir, I know America won't know of most of it, but please know that 
those of us that do have your back for the work that you've done. Thank 
you very, very much.
  The face of terrorism is changing, and it's changing in a very rapid 
way. Years ago we sat down and we asked our intelligence officials to 
do very hard things. We said to go to dangerous places and talk to 
dangerous people, find out the information that we need, identify those 
who have done horrible things to this country, and help us bring them 
to justice.
  It was the President of the United States at the time, George Bush. 
It was Nancy Pelosi who was sitting in the meetings, the intelligence 
meetings who said, Yes, that's the right policy. That's the right thing 
to do. And the battlefield has changed. It isn't just overseas anymore, 
where we write songs about our soldiers leaving the shores of the 
United States. The battlefield has come to us. It has killed U.S. 
citizens, and they attempt again and again to do that.
  This bill is a disappointment. This bill is really offensive. This is 
a 2010 bill that will be practically irrelevant tomorrow. We are 
passing a bill that will be almost irrelevant tomorrow. There is no 
classified annex. You can't call this an intelligence bill that sets us 
on the right path with no classified annex. How can we congratulate 
ourselves for this?
  There is more political cover in this bill than there is cover for 
the United States to go aggressively and pursue terrorism around the 
world. This bill protects the Speaker of the House, but it doesn't 
protect the CIA officers that all of us ask to do dangerous work around 
the world. Instead, they have to get lawyers and answer questions, the 
Department of Justice, after the President and this Congress said, Go 
do this for your country, for our safety, for our future. That's a slap 
in the face for the very people we have asked to risk their lives. 
They're not supposed to be facing a subpoena. They should be facing a 
crowd of cheering Americans saying, Thank you for your service in the 
difficult times this country faces in the war on terror. That is 
abandoned in this bill.
  Tomorrow we are going to allow Guantanamo detainees to be transferred 
to the U.S. That provision is not in the bill. We all unified, said, 
This is a bad idea. Don't bring the best trained terrorists to the 
United States. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to say, That's an 
awful idea. And Americans say, Don't do it. There's a better way. This 
bill rejects that notion and goes to the very heart of why Americans 
are concerned about the direction of how we pursue terrorism in these 
days and in the days ahead.
  It now treats foreign terrorists committing acts of terrorism against 
the United States with the same benefits as a United States citizen. 
What? Most Americans, the average Americans know you don't do that. 
They are enemy combatants. The battlefield might not be in Afghanistan. 
It might be on the seat of an airplane coming to the United States of 
America. The battlefield is no different because the results of death 
and terrorism and mayhem are the same.
  We reject that in this bill and say, You know what, we are turning 
the page. We are going to treat those enemy combatants, those foreign 
terrorists, with all the benefits of a citizen of the United States.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. I yield the gentleman 30 additional seconds.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I hope that we can shake 
ourselves out of this notion that we are going to take the war on 
terror and treat it like a law enforcement event. It slows things down. 
We had that fight, but this bill goes even further. It says that we 
don't care what Americans believe will keep us safe, and we care more 
about the politics of what's going on today than we do the policies of 
terrorists who seek to do us harm. This is not the direction that we 
need. I would strongly urge this body's rejection and let's get about 
the work of a 2011 budget that can serve to protect the United States 
of America.
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 2 minutes.
  Madam Speaker, the American people are tuned in tonight. They must be 
confused that we are kind of talking in parallel universes here. For 
instance, there are no earmarks in this bill, in H.R. 2701. There are 
also a host of legislative provisions in this bill that will have a 
permanent effect on the operations in the intelligence community. 
Today's date, tomorrow's date, next week's date doesn't change any of 
that. And it's gratifying to know that for the last few months, our 
colleagues on the other side of the aisle have embarked on a listening 
campaign. It is good that they listen, and I hope that they have also 
gotten back the message that the American people are sick and tired of 
their strategy of just saying ``no'' to everything.
  Isn't it interesting--at least I find it interesting--that H.R. 2701 
had unanimous support on the Senate side. That means both Democrats and 
Republicans. But somehow, some people don't understand or didn't get 
the memo that it is okay to agree on protecting this country. It's okay 
to agree to pass a piece of legislation that fundamentally does that.

                              {time}  1910

  This bill does that. Is it perfect? No. Is it a compromise? Yes. But 
that is the reality of legislative compromises.
  They talk about Guantanamo. Tonight we are going to vote on a 
continuing resolution. This bill does nothing to impact on anything to 
do with Guantanamo. Voting on the continuing resolution, we will vote 
on keeping those protections in place.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 2 minutes.
  Madam Speaker, let's talk about what should have been in this bill 
and what this bill does do and what it doesn't do.
  We all know that the face of terrorism is changing. We have seen Fort

[[Page H7306]]

Hood, we have seen the attempted attack in Detroit, we have seen the 
attempted attack at Times Square. We know that terrorism is changing.
  This bill is based on the past. There were reports that came out 
after these attacks and attempted attacks on the United States 
outlining changes that they thought needed to be made. As terrorism 
changed, intelligence policies needed to change as well.
  The recommendations included improving the systems that deal with 
information, information sharing, terrorist screening, watch lists, 
watch list criteria, and those types of things. That's not dealt with 
in this bill. It is on the sidelines, even though the threat has 
evolved.
  My colleagues have clearly articulated that, by doing nothing, we now 
open the possibility for Gitmo folks to come to the United States. We 
open the possibility and the likelihood that once again terror suspects 
overseas will be Mirandized.
  Where is there a provision in this bill that would regulate covert 
actions that may impact U.S. citizens? Where is the bipartisan part of 
this bill, the classified annex, the part that we did agree? It was 
tossed.
  Why wasn't there a conference on this bill? Why couldn't we go and 
have a meaningful discussion and debate involving all the parties about 
what would make a good intelligence bill?
  When did Members meet to discuss the bipartisan agreement that has 
been claimed in the Senate amendment? They didn't meet. This is a 
short-circuited process that didn't address and doesn't address the top 
issues that needed to be addressed to keep America safe.
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 1 minute.
  There are a lot of things that aren't in this bill. There aren't any 
things dealing with water, there aren't any things dealing with the 
border, there aren't any things dealing with other aspects.
  We are here to pass a piece of legislation that has the support of 
every Senator in the other body. We are here to pass a piece of 
legislation that fundamentally protects this country.
  And I can certainly understand the questions that my colleague from 
Michigan has because for the last year he hasn't been here. He has been 
in Michigan doing other things.
  But to criticize a piece of legislation that we have reached out, 
that we have worked together--and as I said in my opening statement, 
this is a compromise agreement that was agreed to by the House, the 
Senate, and the administration. It is a good piece of legislation. It 
deserves to be supported.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 1 minute.
  There aren't a lot of things in this bill. The chairman is absolutely 
right. Lots of things that should be in this bill. There should be a 
classified annex. There should be something that outlines our 
committee's response to what many believe are actions that are being 
carried out by the government through covert means that affect 
Americans overseas. This committee should take a stand on that position 
or on that issue.
  This committee should take a stand on Mirandizing. This committee 
should take a stand on Gitmo. This committee should take a stand on the 
things that groups who have taken a look at what is happening to 
terrorism and have recommended changes that be made to keep America 
safe. And that is a reason why we are opposed to this bill.
  We know what is in the bill, and we know what is not. The things that 
would keep America safe and safer in a changing environment are not in 
this bill.
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, it is my privilege now to yield 3 minutes 
to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Holt), a member of the committee 
and the chairman of the Select Intelligence Oversight Panel.
  Mr. HOLT. Madam Speaker, I want to thank the distinguished chair of 
the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Mr. Reyes, for 
bringing this bill to the floor today. It has required a lot of effort, 
some compromise and hard work.
  The bill advances a number of my priorities, including a sustained 
emphasis on improving our foreign language capabilities, expanding the 
Government Accountability Office's ability to conduct investigations of 
intelligence community activities, and a long overdue declassification 
review requirement of the gulf war illness-related records at the CIA.
  I think we can still do more to provide strong congressional 
oversight of our intelligence activities. And I am also disappointed 
that the other body blocked the inclusion of language that I developed 
that would mandate the video recording of detainee interrogations by 
the Central Intelligence Agency.
  A similar version of this language has been law since last year and 
governs video recording of detainees in custody of the Defense 
Department. And multiple studies have documented the benefits of video 
recording, electronic recording of interrogations, and law enforcement 
organizations across the United States routinely use the practice to 
protect both the person being interrogated and the officer conducting 
the interrogations. Clearly, in the intelligence community, this would 
be a valuable tool as well. And of course we know that at times the 
intelligence community does think this is a valuable tool. Otherwise, 
it would not have made recordings of interrogations of high-value 
detainees after they were captured in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
  Should a future President direct the CIA to hold detainees for 
interrogation, those interrogations certainly should be recorded. 
Accordingly, I hope we will be able to remedy this in next year's bill.
  I also wanted to say a word about the so-called Gang of Eight 
briefings. Because of the importance of this issue, it can get obscured 
by ``inside the beltway'' jargon. I want to make it clear that in this 
legislation, we are not and we should not cede the congressional 
prerogative to compel the President to share information on covert 
action programs.
  So as you read the language of this bill, as my colleagues read the 
language of the bill, I hope they will understand that we have a 
constitutional obligation, independent and separate from the executive, 
to oversee the activities of the executive branch in this area.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, I yield the gentleman an additional minute.

                              {time}  1920

  Mr. HOLT. I opposed the previous administration's effort to subvert 
congressional oversight of intelligence activities, and I am not 
convinced that we have struck the right compromise language in this 
legislation. But even so, the requirement of written notification of 
covert actions is an important step forward, and passing this bill will 
not mark the end of our reform process.
  Given what is accomplished in this bill, I am pleased to vote for the 
bill, and I urge my colleagues to do so as well.
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. I yield 2 minutes to my colleague from Texas (Mr. 
Thornberry).
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Speaker, let me just say that I agree with the 
gentleman from New Jersey that we do have an independent constitutional 
responsibility to obtain the information that is necessary for us to do 
our job, not just on covert action but on all information. That is one 
of the reasons I was so disappointed at this fig leaf notification 
provision which is in this bill.
  Madam Speaker, there are all sorts of bad ideas that start coming out 
and can even pass one body or another unanimously at the end of a 
session, but this bill is not a real bill.
  We have talked several times about the classified annex. What that 
means is a line-by-line description of the various intelligence 
programs and how much funding would go to each of them. That is the 
basic essence of an intelligence authorization bill, and yet that does 
not exist with this bill. That is what had bipartisan support over the 
last 1\1/2\ years as we have been working on it. But then, when it 
comes to the floor, that part suddenly gets dropped. What is left is 
just a rubber stamp of what the appropriators have done, and that does 
include the earmarks that the gentleman from Michigan talked about.

[[Page H7307]]

  So instead of coming to fruition for the work that this committee has 
done for the past 1\1/2\ years, instead we get what the Senate will 
accept or are expected to rubber-stamp it over here and pretend we have 
done something. But we haven't. We haven't done the basic things that 
the American people want us to do to keep this country safe.
  And I think it is true, as the chairman indicated, the American 
people do not want us to just say ``no.'' They want us to say ``no'' 
more often to bad ideas and wish this Congress had said ``no'' more 
often to a lot of the things that had actually gotten passed. But they 
want us to seriously address the issues about Guantanamo detainees, 
about Mirandizing terrorists, about making sure that terrorists are not 
released prematurely, keeping this country safe; yet this bill falls 
short. It is a disappointment.
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, it is now my privilege to yield 3 minutes 
to a Member who has been a leader on the issue of cybersecurity, a 
member of our great committee and the chair of the Armed Services 
Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, Mr. Langevin.
  (Mr. LANGEVIN asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. LANGEVIN. I want to thank the chairman for yielding and 
congratulate him for his outstanding work on this important 
intelligence authorization bill. It has been my privilege to work on 
the committee now for 4 years.
  Let me just say, Madam Speaker, that I rise in strong support of H.R. 
2701. It has been nearly 6 years since an intelligence authorization 
bill has become law. This bill helps to provide the intelligence 
community with the essential tools it needs to confront the threats 
posed by our adversaries, and it is vital that this bill pass today.
  It takes a number of important steps toward improving congressional 
notification, particularly with respect to Gang of Eight issues, making 
sure that the Intelligence Committee is actually informed when the top 
Members of the Congress have been notified that an intelligence 
activity has occurred. It also makes sure that the President has to 
provide the legal basis for all intelligence activities.
  Beyond that, this bill would enact a number of important reforms, but 
it makes particularly important strides in securing the Nation's 
cyberspace.
  Clearly, our Nation's water, power, communications, and emergency 
response systems all depend on a secure, resilient information 
infrastructure. All are under regular threat from hackers, terrorists, 
and foreign intelligence agencies.
  This bill includes an amendment that I proposed requiring a study of 
the capabilities of America's current Federal cybersecurity workforce. 
The administration's 60-day cyber review highlighted the government's 
cyber workforce as one of the areas that needs the most improvement. 
The government right now simply doesn't have enough cybersecurity 
experts, and we have to do a better job of competing with the private 
sector for scarce talent.
  This study that I made sure was in this bill addresses these 
weaknesses by examining how best to attract, retain, and develop the 
workforce that the United States Government needs to defend our 
critical infrastructure. This includes an evaluation of the benefits of 
outreach to industry and academia, who can be critical partners in 
securing our cyber networks.
  Madam Speaker, more than ever the United States needs to realize that 
cybersecurity is an issue that requires urgent attention. The American 
people are depending on us. We cannot remain complacent. We can't wait 
until a catastrophic event happens. I look at this as a potentially 
pre-9/11 moment, where we know that there is a critical vulnerability 
in our cybersecurity infrastructure and we need to move more quickly to 
protect it.
  I want to thank Chairman Reyes for his outstanding leadership on this 
issue. A lot of the work you don't see that he does and the committee 
does behind the scenes, but it is essential, it is important, and I 
thank the gentleman for his leadership. I certainly urge passage of 
this bill.
  Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 2701.
  It has been nearly six years since an intelligence authorization bill 
has become law. These bills help provide the Intelligence Community 
with the tools it needs to confront the threats posed by our 
adversaries, and it is vital that this bill pass today.
  The bill would enact a number of important reforms, but it makes 
particularly important strides in securing cyberspace. Our nation's 
water, power, communications, and emergency response systems all depend 
on a secure and resilient information infrastructure. All are under 
regular threat from hackers, terrorists, and foreign intelligence 
agencies.
  This bill includes an amendment I proposed that requires a study of 
the capabilities of America's current federal cyber workforce. The 
Administration's 60-day cyber review highlighted the government's cyber 
workforce as one of the areas that needs the most improvement. The 
government simply does not have enough cybersecurity experts; we must 
do a better job competing with the private sector for scarce talent.
  This study addresses these weaknesses by examining how best to 
attract, retain, and develop the workforce the United States government 
needs to defend our critical infrastructure. This includes an 
evaluation of the benefits of outreach to industry and academia, who 
can be critical partners in securing our networks.
  Madam Speaker, more than ever the U.S. needs to realize that 
cybersecurity is an issue that requires urgent attention. We cannot 
remain complacent.
  I strongly support this bill. I urge all my colleagues to do the 
same.
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. REYES. Could I inquire as to the amount of time on either side?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 7 minutes, and 
the gentleman from Michigan has 8 minutes.
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, it is now my privilege to yield 1 minute to 
the majority leader, a gentleman who has worked tirelessly the last few 
months to make sure that we have a good bill and a good compromise. I 
have been told that compromise is one where everyone feels that they 
didn't get everything they needed but it's at a place where we should 
be able to support it. No one personifies that better than our majority 
leader, Mr. Hoyer.
  Mr. HOYER. I thank the chairman for his generous remarks. More 
importantly, however, I thank him for his very hard, focused, untiring 
work on making sure that, for the first time since 2004, we pass an 
authorization bill for intelligence.
  I want to say that all of us have been engaged in this, but no one 
more than the chairman, and I thank him for his work. I also thank the 
staff, the staff director, and members of the staff who have done an 
extraordinary job as well. I know that the minority staff has worked 
hard on this as well, and Mr. Hoekstra, of course, who has been on the 
Intelligence Committee for many, many years.
  I rise, Madam Speaker, in support of this intelligence authorization 
bill. The passage of this legislation, as I said earlier, is the first 
intelligence authorization bill to be passed since 2004. On something 
as critically important as our national security, national 
intelligence, it is unfortunate that we haven't been more successful in 
the past in passing a bill, for whatever reasons. This is a major step 
to strengthen our national security.
  The bill continues policies that are working to help keep America 
safe from terrorist attack, policies which have been supported by two 
administrations. It also strengthens oversight of our intelligence 
community.

                              {time}  1930

  In a democracy, we have recognized in a bipartisan way that 
intelligence is critical, but in a free and open society it is also 
important that the people's representatives have meaningful oversight. 
While this community deserves the support of Congress, and it has 
always had mine, it also requires oversight by the Congress and 
direction from the Congress as to what policies the people's 
representatives believe ought to be followed. In my opinion, this bill 
does that.
  The bill creates an independent inspector general with responsibility 
for the entire intelligence community. It reforms the briefing process 
for the bipartisan leadership of both Chambers and their Intelligence 
Committees, ensuring that the full membership of the House and Senate 
Intelligence Committees are informed when briefings occur and making 
the briefings available to all members of the committees 6 months after 
the initial briefings.

[[Page H7308]]

  It is critically important that we keep secret those matters which 
are important to keep secret for our national security. On the other 
hand, we know from history, we know from experience, that it is 
critically important, as I have said in the past, that the people's 
representatives have knowledge and briefings as to those undertakings 
of this community.
  This bill provides for the development of a framework that will 
enable the Government Accountability Office to conduct proper oversight 
of intelligence activities and reforms the intelligence community's 
acquisition process to avoid waste of taxpayer money.
  This bill passed the Senate with unanimous support from both parties. 
This is not a partisan bill. This is a bill that the Senate Republicans 
and the Senate Democrats believed added to the security of our country.
  In fact, I agree with Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Kit 
Bond, who formerly was, of course, the chairman of the Intelligence 
Committee, with whom I worked very hard in a bipartisan fashion to pass 
the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, with the help of my friend 
the chairman and the support of President Bush.
  Kit Bond said this about this bill: ``We can do more to protect 
Americans from attack, and passing the intelligence authorization 
bill,'' referring to the bill that is on the floor, ``passing the 
intelligence authorization bill and improving congressional oversight 
over our spy agencies is an important first step.''
  That is what Senator Bond said, the Republican chair of the 
Intelligence Committee, and now the vice chair of the Intelligence 
Committee.
  I want to thank the members of the House Intelligence Committee on 
both sides of the aisle, especially, as I have said, Chairman Silvestre 
Reyes and his staff, for their very hard work in writing and securing 
support for this legislation. It was not an easy road. There was 
disagreement.
  The administration, this House, the Senate, had to come to an 
agreement. They have come to an agreement, an agreement which I think 
is, as Kit Bond said, a step in the right direction, an important step, 
and I hope that my colleagues will support it.
  This is another contribution to strong and responsible leadership of 
our national security. I urge my colleagues to support it so that 
President Obama can sign it into law.
  There is no higher responsibility than we have when we raise our 
hands in this Chamber to support and defend the Constitution of the 
United States and the laws thereof. Clearly, one of our major 
responsibilities is to protect America from adversaries, whether they 
be domestic or foreign, and in that process have an intelligence 
community that has the capability of ferreting out those who would harm 
this country and its people. But we also need to have an active, 
engaged, and responsible, as we do, Intelligence Committee, both in the 
House and in the Senate, to ensure that the values that make this 
country so special are honored even as we take every step that is 
necessary and proper to defend and protect America and Americans.
  I urge the passage of this important piece of legislation.
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time to close.
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Chairman, thank you for the opportunity to work with you on the 
committee. I am disappointed that we did not get to agreement on this 
bill and that we are at different places on what is a very important 
piece of legislation to keep America safe.
  I wish you the best in your future in Congress, as I leave this 
institution and as I leave the House Intelligence Committee. It has 
been a great honor to serve on this committee and do the work that we 
have tried to do to keep America safe.
  You know, there are things that I wish we would have gotten done as 
we structured this bill that would have enabled us to move forward in a 
bipartisan basis.
  There have been a number of investigations, beginning in 2007 dealing 
with the tapes investigation, dealing with detention, dealing with 
interrogation. I wish those investigations had been completed and 
reports would have been issued, and that we would have used the 
findings of those reports and those investigations to improve this 
bill.
  I wish that we would have continued to move forward in a way that, a 
few years ago, in a bipartisan basis, this House said we are not going 
to put earmarks into intelligence bills.
  I wish that we as a committee would have taken a position in 
repudiating a position that the President of the United States took 
soon after he assumed office which said he was going to close Gitmo and 
move the detainees from Guantanamo, move them into the United States. I 
wish we had said in this bill that we would have continued that 
prohibition on moving and expending any funds for moving people from 
Guantanamo into the United States. That is now an open question as to 
whether that may or may not happen.
  I wish that in this bill we would have taken a position and said that 
it is inappropriate to Mirandize terrorists captured overseas, in many 
ways, I believe, giving them more legal rights than what we give to our 
own employees of the CIA.
  CIA employees that do face perhaps the possibility of being 
prosecuted, I wish we would have said in this bill, these people have 
been investigated twice, they did what the leadership and the political 
leadership of this country asked them to do, and we will now protect 
them and say no, no funds will be used to prosecute them for the things 
that leadership in the United States of America asked them to do to 
keep us safe.
  I wish we would have clearly said that we repudiate the policy of 
this administration where they for a period of time said, ``We are not 
going to use the word `terrorism' anymore. We are going to wipe the 
slate clean, and we are not going to use that language. We are now 
going to call terrorism `manmade disasters.' ''
  We all know that if you don't correctly identify the threat that you 
face, you will never be able to contain it, confront it, and defeat it.
  I wish that we would have taken a strong position in this bill in 
response to what happened at Fort Hood. Remember at Fort Hood, for 
months after the attack at Fort Hood, where 14 Americans were brutally 
murdered, this administration refused to recognize that this might be 
related to terrorism or the threats that we face from overseas.
  We now know that in this and other terrorist attacks, as this face of 
terrorism changes, that in Fort Hood and other instances, Anwar al-
Awlaki, associated with al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula, played a 
part. We maybe don't know exactly how big of a part, but whether it was 
Fort Hood, whether it was the Christmas Day attack or what happened at 
Times Square, al-Awlaki may have been involved in some if not all of 
these attacks, and we know that al-Awlaki, bin Laden and all of these 
individuals continue to plan attacks against the U.S., against our 
allies in Europe, and against other friends around the planet.
  These are all things that needed to be done in this bill. These are 
all things that needed to be done if we were going to keep America 
safer.
  Right now, we all see and read about the fact that there is 
heightened awareness of threats, a heightened threat alert in Europe 
and in the United States, because we sense that there is an urgency by 
the radical jihadists to attack the West and to attack them again. This 
bill needed to meet that standard of addressing a changing environment, 
a changing threat level.

                              {time}  1940

  We see that happening. And my fear is that sometime in the future 
people are going to say Congress came up short. They didn't connect the 
dots one more time. They didn't connect the dots of threats coming out 
of Pakistan, coming out of Somalia, coming out of northern Africa, 
coming out of the Arabian peninsula. They didn't clearly understand the 
changing face of terrorism. They didn't learn the lessons from Fort 
Hood. They didn't learn the lessons from Christmas Day. They didn't 
learn the lessons from Times Square. Because the people who 
investigated those said, These are the types of things that we need to 
do to keep

[[Page H7309]]

America safe. And as we close out a fiscal year, Congress acted; but it 
didn't act on the lessons learned. Why didn't they act? Didn't they 
really have all the knowledge? Didn't they really connect the dots? I 
think we have the information. We could have connected the dots better. 
We needed to connect the dots better because each and every day the 
threats that we face change and adapt.
  The challenge that we have as a Nation, that we have as an 
intelligence community is to design an intelligence community, to 
design an intelligence capability that is one step ahead of the 
challenges that we face, not one or two steps behind. The face of 
terrorism is changing. This bill doesn't put us out in front of dealing 
with those threats. It leaves us behind. That's why I am disappointed 
in this bill. That's why I am voting ``no,'' and I encourage my 
colleagues to vote ``no,'' because we need to do better than what is in 
this bill.
  Having a bill with no classified annex providing no direction is not 
an authorization bill. Much more needs to be done. I wish and I hope 
that we can send this bill back, vote it down and improve it, and do 
what this country needs and what this country demands from us to keep 
America safe.
  With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. REYES. I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Madam Speaker, I want to take this time to thank the ranking member. 
Although we have disagreed many times on the way forward, we have never 
disagreed on the purpose that we're both here, and that is working hard 
to keep this country safe. As I thank the ranking member for his hard 
work and wish him well, knowing that he is going to be leaving 
Congress, I also want to assure you that we will continue to focus on 
the many things that I know we have in common, and that is making sure 
we do everything we can to continue to protect this country, continue 
to work together, the Senate, the House, and the administration, 
towards that effort.
  I, too, would like to close by thanking all of the people who have 
worked so hard and for so long to get this bill to this point. First, I 
would like to thank the Speaker and the majority leader for their 
leadership and support during these tough negotiations. I would like to 
also thank Chairman Feinstein and Vice Chairman Bond for their dogged 
commitment towards working in a bipartisan fashion to get this bill 
passed.
  I would like to thank the members of the House intelligence committee 
who have all contributed valuable ideas and hard work towards this 
bill. Not everyone got everything that they wanted included in this 
bill, but I think it is a good compromise. I would also like to thank 
the staffs of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees on both 
sides, the minority and the majority side; the legislative counsels; 
all those who worked so very hard and many long hours. And in our case 
here, since we are going to have a bill for the first time in almost 6 
years, it is vital and important to recognize that hard work.
  This has been a monumental effort on the part of many, many people. 
The intelligence communities have worked for years on Intelligence 
authorization bills, only to see those efforts and that hard work 
frustrated by vetoes, by bipartisan politics, and other roadblocks. We 
have only been able to break through these barriers through diligence, 
leadership on both sides, and a commitment to national security that 
extends beyond partisan divisions.
  The bill that we bring to the floor tonight is a product of 
compromise. As I said, we didn't get everything through this body. We 
didn't get everything that everyone wanted to be included, but I think 
we have got a great product that will help keep this country safe.
  Finally, as I reflect back on the faces of countless men and women 
throughout the world in the 16 different agencies and the military 
working together as never before to counter the challenges and the 
threats that we face as a country, I am impressed by their 
professionalism, their dedication, their commitment, and their trust 
that we are going to do the right thing to give them the tools to carry 
out their assignments, to carry out their work, and to continue to keep 
us safe.
  We have worked very hard, and now it is time for Members to do their 
part. This is the essence of what we have been sent here to do. We make 
difficult decisions that are in the best interest of our country. We 
don't always agree, but we govern. That is the American way. I am proud 
to have been a part of this process. I urge my colleagues to support 
this bipartisan product. And in the Senate, as the majority leader 
said, every member of the Senate supported this bill, sending a clear 
bipartisan statement on national security. That is what we're sent here 
to do.
  So I hope that this evening we can send a similar message to the 
country that when the stakes are high, when the stakes are about the 
national security of our country, we can come together, set aside 
politics, set aside divisions and all the things that the American 
people have told us are not important in the realm of national 
security.
  So it has been a great privilege and a great honor to lead this 
committee as chairman. This evening will be the culmination of months 
and months of work. And I am very appreciative of the work that has 
been done by both the majority and the minority and by the staffs on 
both sides. Certainly, I think we have a lot to be proud of; and, most 
of all, we can be grateful that the hard work being done by our men and 
women in the intelligence community through our support keeps us safe.
  With that, Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.''
  Ms. PELOSI. Madam Speaker, every month, we take the time to pause 
here on the House floor and honor our men and women in uniform for 
their service.
  Today, we have an opportunity to do the same for those who serve in 
our intelligence community. These officers are selflessly protecting 
the security of the American people. We are indebted to them for their 
dedication to the mission of keeping our Nation safe.
  I would like to thank the distinguished Chairman of the Intelligence 
Committee, Silvestre Reyes, for his leadership in bringing a bill to 
the floor today that has bipartisan support in Congress. It represents 
an agreement between Congress and the Executive Branch. And it will be 
signed into law by the President.
  Keeping the American people safe is the first priority of every 
Member of Congress. One of the ways in which we do this is through the 
oversight of intelligence. A robust oversight framework is critical to 
ensuring that the intelligence community functions as effectively and 
efficiently as possible.
  This legislation will enhance Congress's ability to perform its 
essential oversight role. It expands and improves congressional 
notification for covert action, including those currently restricted to 
the so-called gang of eight. It provides the framework for the 
Government Accountability Office to have access to intelligence 
community information so that it may conduct investigations, audits and 
evaluations when requested by Congress.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this legislation, and 
the intelligence officers at home and abroad who keep the American 
people safe.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the Intelligence 
Authorization Act of 2010.
  This measure authorizes funding for the Office of the National 
Intelligence Director, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the 
National Security Agency, as well as the foreign intelligence 
activities of the Defense Department, FBI, State Department and 
Homeland Security Department. Further, to ensure that these and other 
activities are conducted in a manner that is consistent with the laws 
of the United States, the measure increases the levels of oversight of 
the intelligence community in several key ways.
  First, the bill modifies the processes for reporting of intelligence 
activities, including covert actions, to the congressional intelligence 
committees.
  The President is required by law to keep congressional intelligence 
committees fully and currently informed of intelligence activities, but 
under extraordinary circumstances, the President can limit these 
communications to the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the intelligence 
committees, the Speaker and Minority Leader of the House, and the 
Majority and Minority Leaders of the Senate. The bill alters this and 
requires the President to notify all members of the congressional 
intelligence committees when the `Gang of Eight' has been contacted and 
notified of a covert incident and to provide a general description of 
that briefing.
  Second, the bill requires the Director of National Intelligence to 
write regulations to permit

[[Page H7310]]

the Government Accountability Office to audit the intelligence 
community. Additionally, the Director of National Intelligence is 
required to provide a comprehensive report on the use of contractors 
throughout the intelligence community.
  This bill funds the U.S. national security and intelligence programs 
and objectives that help to keep Americans safe. The bill also helps to 
ensure that these activities are conducted in a manner consistent with 
the Constitution and laws of the United States.
  I encourage my colleagues to join me today in support of this 
important bill.
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. Madam Speaker, I would like to note for the Record my 
specific objections in several respects with the Fiscal Year 2010 
Intelligence Authorization Act ``agreement'' that was passed by the 
Senate and agreed to by the Administration based on a Staff draft, and 
that now may come before the House just two days before the end of that 
fiscal year after repeated delays. The bill is completely unnecessary 
and moot for the purposes of authorizing intelligence activity; it 
instead appears intended to force through several controversial 
provisions as the House approaches a ``lame duck'' session.
  While I have repeatedly raised our broader concerns with respect to 
this legislation in the House and in our formal Minority Views, I felt 
it important to memorialize what we believe are significant 
shortcomings and flaws in the current bill, especially with provisions 
that were not previously included in the House bill. I do not believe 
that this bill in its current form addresses a number of critical 
national security issues, and in many respects would fail to empower 
our intelligence professionals and create significant and unnecessary 
new bureaucracy and politicization of the intelligence community.
  Most significantly, we are concerned with the absence of provisions 
to address the following critical issues:

       Earmarks: The bill removes language from a previous 
     Republican amendment to prohibit the use of funds authorized 
     in the bill for any earmarked purpose, and effectively 
     authorizes earmarks of the Appropriations Committee.
       Covert Action Authorities: The bill does nothing to provide 
     safeguards for certain covert action activities that could 
     impact U.S. citizens.
       Intelligence Flaws Revealed After Fort Hood Shooting: The 
     bill contains no substantive provisions to address critical 
     information sharing flaws brought to light in the aftermath 
     of the Fort Hood shooting.
       Interrogation of High Value Detainees: The bill contains no 
     substantive provisions to make intelligence collection a 
     priority in the interrogation of high value detainees, or to 
     address the complete lack of coordinated decisionmaking with 
     respect to interrogation of high value detainees.
       FISA Authorities: The bill does nothing to provide 
     critically needed clarification of authorities under the 
     Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
       Guantanamo Detainees: The bill contains no outright 
     prohibition on using intelligence funds to bring Guantanamo 
     Bay detainees into the United States, or to prohibit secret 
     payments to foreign countries using intelligence funds to 
     accept Guantanamo Bay detainees. The conference agreement 
     also omits a Republican amendment--agreed to on a bipartisan 
     basis--to evaluate potential threats from released Uighur 
     detainees.
       Administration of Miranda Warnings: The bill omits a 
     Republican amendment--supported on a bipartisan basis in the 
     Committee and in the House--to prohibit giving Miranda 
     warnings to foreign terrorist suspects in foreign countries 
     in order to protect intelligence collection.

  In addition, I have concerns with several provisions of the bill that 
we believe are seriously flawed in several different respects. A number 
of these provisions are inconsistent with the letter or the spirit of 
bipartisan agreements reached in the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism 
Prevention Act of 2004. I believe a number of provisions would unduly 
and unwisely further grow the intelligence bureaucracy. I believe that 
other provisions would impinge on the smooth operation of the 
intelligence community, and that others would interfere with efficient 
and centralized intelligence oversight as recommended by the 9/11 
Commission. Other objectionable provisions do not appear to have been 
fully or adequately justified, some with potentially significant 
consequences. The objectionable provisions include, but are not limited 
to, the following:

       Contractor Conversion: While I support appropriate review 
     of the size and nature of the contractor workforce, Section 
     103 of the bill would provide unlimited authority to add an 
     unlimited number of employees, regardless of any other 
     statutory limitation. This is inconsistent with bipartisan 
     agreements in the House Intelligence Committee with respect 
     to limiting the size of the ODNI.
       ``A not A'' Funds: Section 101 of the bill would deem any 
     appropriated but unauthorized funding to be authorized. This 
     provision fundamentally cedes the authorization prerogatives 
     of the Intelligence Committees to the Appropriations 
     Committees, and virtually renders moot bipartisan agreements 
     on the funding authorizations contained in the classified 
     annex.
       No Classified Annex: The bill omits the classified annex 
     that provides the specific direction to the intelligence 
     community on the conduct of operations and the permissible 
     uses of funds, which had been negotiated on a bipartisan 
     basis.
       Unlimited Increases in Employee Compensation: Section 301 
     of the bill would allow unlimited increases to pay and 
     benefit authorization for any increases authorized by law. 
     Such unrestricted authority effectively renders moot specific 
     authorization levels elsewhere and can be used by the ODNI to 
     circumvent such restrictions for additional unapproved 
     growth. Similarly, Section 303 would permit the DNI to 
     authorize technically unlimited pay for specific positions at 
     his sole discretion. I am not aware of any demonstrated need 
     for such extraordinary authority.
       Award of SIS Rank: Section 304 of the bill would permit the 
     Director of National Intelligence to recommend that the 
     President directly award Senior Intelligence Service rank to 
     employees across the intelligence community. This would 
     directly involve the DNI in specific agency personnel matters 
     contrary to the intent of the IRTPA and may foster cronyism 
     and non-merit based promotions of intelligence community 
     personnel.
       Temporary Personnel Authorizations for Critical Language 
     Training: Section 306 of the bill would exempt up to 100 ODNI 
     personnel from personnel caps for the purposes of language 
     training. Given the widespread prevalence of persons 
     receiving foreign language training in the intelligence 
     community, I believe this is a thinly veiled authorization to 
     circumvent existing personnel caps, again inconsistent with 
     the intended size and scope of the ODNI and bipartisan 
     agreements within the House Committee on personnel levels 
     within the ODNI.
       Education Programs: Sections 311 through 314 of the bill 
     would create or modify a number of education programs in the 
     intelligence community. While I do not necessarily oppose any 
     of these programs, I do not believe that these provisions--
     most of them permanent--have been adequately explained or 
     justified. I note that previous versions of the bill would 
     have required a study to review and justify such programs, 
     which suggests that others share our concerns that these 
     programs have not yet been fully reviewed. For that provision 
     to be dropped in lieu of outright authorization makes little 
     sense in light of the implicit acknowledgment that further 
     study is needed.
       Business System Transformation: Section 322 of the bill 
     would require the DNI to ``develop and implement'' (rather 
     than coordinate) an enterprise architecture to ``cover all 
     intelligence community business systems''. I believe this 
     provision is inconsistent with the role and scope of the ODNI 
     contemplated in the IRTPA.
       IP Funded Acquisitions: Section 326 of the bill authorizes 
     the DNI to delegate certain acquisition authorities within 
     the intelligence community. This provision is inconsistent 
     with the express agreement reached in the IRTPA conference 
     not to permit such delegation.
       Congressional Notification: Section 331 of the bill 
     continues to cede sole authority to the President to 
     determine which members of the congressional intelligence 
     committees would receive briefings on particularly sensitive 
     intelligence matters. This provision is inconsistent with 
     previous bipartisan agreements reached in the House 
     Committee, and fails entirely to protect the Constitutional 
     prerogative of the Congress to make its own rules of 
     proceedings. It would have little meaningful effect and 
     appears to provide political cover at the expense of real 
     reform in this critical area.
       GAO Review: Section 348 of the bill also contains a 
     provision that requires the Executive Branch to promulgate 
     guidelines for dealing with GAO reviews of intelligence 
     community programs. I believe that this provision is unwise 
     for a number of reasons. Most notably, it potentially cedes 
     significant elements of the traditional oversight role of the 
     intelligence committees to the GAO and potentially to other 
     Committees of the Congress, and it fails to adequately 
     protect the security and dissemination of classified work 
     product under the same terms as the Committee rules. In 
     addition, this specific provision cedes to the Executive 
     Branch and the Comptroller General the determination of how 
     to manage GAO inquiries that should be directed by Members of 
     Congress.
       Report on Intelligence Community Contractors: Section 339 
     of the bill would improperly require reports on sensitive 
     intelligence collection matters--including covert action 
     programs--to be provided to the Armed Services committees, 
     contrary to the Rules of the House. Several other provisions 
     of the bill also require reports on intelligence matters to 
     be submitted to Committees that may not have jurisdiction 
     over the material to be reported on.
       Reprogramming Standard: Section 362 of the bill would 
     modify the reprogramming standard for intelligence activities 
     in a manner that would render it virtually meaningless. This 
     change is contrary to the express

[[Page H7311]]

     bipartisan agreement reached in the Intelligence Reform and 
     Terrorism Prevention Act conference.
       Declassification of Intelligence Budget Topline: Section 
     364 provides for permanent declassification of the 
     intelligence budget topline. This provision serves no 
     demonstrable intelligence purpose, and is contrary to the 
     express bipartisan agreement reached in the Intelligence 
     Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act conference.
       Review Authority of the Public Interest Declassification 
     Board: Section 365 would allow any individual member of 
     certain committees to request declassification review of 
     certain records. This provision is contrary to the express 
     bipartisan agreement reached in the Intelligence Reform and 
     Terrorism Prevention Act conference to restrict such 
     requests.
       Accountability Reviews: Section 401 of the bill would 
     authorize the DNI or the congressional intelligence 
     committees to directly conduct or request accountability 
     reviews of individual intelligence community personnel. This 
     provision would involve the DNI in individual personnel 
     matters within intelligence agencies in a manner inconsistent 
     with the authorities contemplated in the IRTPA.
       Inspector General of the Intelligence Community: While I do 
     not necessarily oppose the concept of greater coordination by 
     the DNI of intelligence community inspectors general, Section 
     405 of the bill is a massive and unduly prescriptive 
     provision that is inconsistent with the contemplated size and 
     scope of the ODNI and in many respects duplicates existing 
     oversight by Department inspectors general.
       Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency: 
     Similarly, I have significant concern that Section 425 of the 
     bill is unduly prescriptive and burdensome with respect to 
     the organization and management of the office of the 
     Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency.
       Defense Inspector General Matters: Section 431 of the bill 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to prohibit certain 
     inspector general reviews of intelligence matters within the 
     intelligence community. I see no apparent justification for 
     this provision, which we believe could potentially interfere 
     with the independence of the intelligence community and may 
     be inconsistent with the intention of the IRTPA.
       Confirmation of Heads of Certain Components of the 
     Intelligence Community: Section 432 of the bill would require 
     Senate confirmation of the heads of certain IC agencies. This 
     provision threatens to politicize such positions, which are 
     often held by career military officers, and could impede the 
     efficient functioning of these agencies in times of vacancy.
       FBI Relocation and Retention Bonuses: Section 443 of the 
     bill would provide certain authorities relating to relocation 
     and retention bonuses for the entire Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation--not just employees funded by the National 
     Intelligence Program. Such a broad provision is outside the 
     Committee's jurisdiction, has not been justified to the 
     Committee, and has not been reviewed for consistency across 
     the Intelligence Community and federal law enforcement. While 
     I strongly support line personnel of the FBI, we believe that 
     this provision must be more carefully reviewed and harmonized 
     with personnel practices in other intelligence and law 
     enforcement agencies. Similarly, we believe that section 444, 
     which extends authority to delay certain FBI mandatory 
     retirements must be better reviewed, especially for its 
     implications for federal law enforcement retirement, which is 
     intended to promote a young and vigorous workforce and should 
     be applied consistently across federal law enforcement 
     agencies.

  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 
2701.
  As Chairman of the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Human Intelligence, 
Analysis, and Counterintelligence, I am pleased that today we can 
discuss the merits and qualities of this much needed, and long overdue, 
legislation. This bill will support critical U.S. intelligence 
capabilities, enhance congressional oversight, and improve 
accountability across the Intelligence Community.
  In addition to modifying congressional notification procedures for 
covert actions and providing a framework to allow GAO access to the 
Intelligence Community, this legislation also contains several 
important reporting requirements.
  Specifically, H.R. 2701 includes a reporting requirement related to 
the Intelligence Community's involvement in detention and interrogation 
activities. This report will assist in improving the effectiveness of 
interrogations and prevent the repeat of past abuses by directing the 
Director of National Intelligence to revisit training policies and 
procedures for interrogators, as well as evaluate current scientific 
research on the conduct of interrogations.
  Another provision requires the newly created Inspector General of the 
Intelligence Community to study the electronic waste disposal practices 
of the IC. This provision serves a dual purpose: to protect our 
environment and our national security.
  The language directs the IC/IG to assess both the environmental 
impact of disposal practices and the steps taken to ensure that 
discarded devices do not contain sensitive information that can be 
exploited by our adversaries.
  Madam Speaker, this legislation is long overdue and will enhance the 
capabilities of the Intelligence Community and make our nation safer. I 
urge my colleagues to support this bill.
  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I support the dedicated public servants 
of our intelligence community and commend their efforts to ensure our 
national security. However, I must oppose the Motion to Concur in the 
Senate Amendment to H.R. 2701, the Intelligence Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2010.
  I continue to grow concerned that covert intelligence activities may 
constitute violations of the Constitution and that they severely 
undermine the rule of law. I am further concerned that these activities 
are conducted with total impunity. This legislation includes provisions 
to establish mechanisms of accountability over operations conducted by 
the intelligence community. I support those provisions. However, the 
compromise language included in this bill further weakens already weak 
disclosure requirements. More importantly, the provisions meant to 
address a lack of accountability included in this bill will do nothing 
to control intelligence activities that are tantamount to war.
  It was reported in The Washington Post this week that the Central 
Intelligence Agency (CIA) has deployed a covert ``well-armed 3,000-
member Afghan paramilitary force'' that is used for ``surveillance, 
raids and combat operations in Afghanistan. The senior official quoted 
in the article admits that these teams are also ``crucial to the United 
States' secret war in Pakistan.'' In addition to this troubling 
revelation, the CIA has conducted over 20 drone attacks in Pakistan 
just this month. Philip Alston, the UN Special Rapporteur on 
Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions has called on the United 
States to comply with international rule of law and disclose the 
criteria for individuals that may be targeted, how the government 
ensures the drone attacks are legal, and the nature of the follow-up 
the government conducts when civilians are killed. Thus far, the 
Administration has failed to provide any of this information.
  These actions severely undermine the rule of law and our moral 
standing in the world. We only stand to gain more enemies if we 
continue to conduct seemingly indiscriminate drone attacks in a country 
with whom we are not at war. We can only further diminish our national 
security with our war in Afghanistan, which includes significant covert 
intelligence operations.
  This legislation will not quell the intelligence activities that 
urgently require reform. If this bill allows intelligence agencies to 
continue covert wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan and even Yemen, I cannot 
support this bill. I oppose this legislation and urge my colleagues to 
do the same.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, as a member of the House 
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, I support the passage of 
H.R. 2071, the Intelligence Authorization for Fiscal Year 2010. This 
important legislation addresses many critical issues for our 
intelligence community and provides essential resources for the men and 
women of the intelligence community to do the hard work to combat our 
ever emerging threats. It provides necessary guidance and oversight, 
especially in key areas of notification and accountability to Congress. 
I am also very pleased about the improvements made in several key areas 
of importance to our national security including counterterrorism, 
acquisition reform, cybersecurity, and satellites.
  H.R. 2071 advances our counterterrorism work by strengthening the 
ability of the National Counterterrorism Center to share information 
with State and local law enforcement officials without the risk of that 
information being exposed. The bill also ensures that Congress 
continues to receive reporting on intelligence concerning terrorist 
financial assets.
  Mirroring the crucial cost control work my colleagues and I 
implemented in the House Armed Services Committee, this measure 
includes a number of provisions that bring our Intelligence community 
acquisition procedures closer in line with recently enacted Department 
of Defense acquisition reforms. These represent signifilant reforms to 
the way the intelligence community conducts acquisitions. Among other 
things, the provisions would create a notification system similar to 
the Department of Defense's ``Nunn-McCurdy'' system, which requires the 
community to report to Congress and restructure programs when costs for 
major systems grow beyond established thresholds.
  The bill also makes important strides toward securing our cyber 
resources. The Intelligence community needs the ability to stop threats 
posed by hackers, cyber-criminals, and hostile governments. Our 
Intelligence community must be able to respond to these cyber threats
