     passengers to disrupt the terrorists, near Shanksville, 
     Pennsylvania.
       (4) Osama bin Laden planned or supported numerous other 
     deadly terrorist attacks against the United States and its 
     allies, including the 1998 bombings of United States 
     embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the 2000 attack on the 
     U.S.S. Cole in Yemen, and against innocent civilians in 
     countries around the world, including the 2004 attack on 
     commuter trains in Madrid, Spain and the 2005 bombings of the 
     mass transit system in London, England.
       (5) Following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, 
     the United States, under President George W. Bush, led an 
     international coalition into Afghanistan to dismantle al 
     Qaeda, deny them a safe haven in Afghanistan and ungoverned 
     areas along the Pakistani border, and bring Osama bin Laden 
     to justice.
       (6) President Barack Obama in 2009 committed additional 
     forces and resources to efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan 
     as ``the central front in our enduring struggle against 
     terrorism and extremism''.
       (7) The valiant members of the United States Armed Forces 
     have courageously and vigorously pursued al Qaeda and its 
     affiliates in Afghanistan and around the world.
       (8) The anonymous, unsung heroes of the intelligence 
     community have pursued al Qaeda and affiliates in 
     Afghanistan, Pakistan, and around the world with tremendous 
     dedication, sacrifice, and professionalism.
       (9) The close collaboration between the Armed Forces and 
     the intelligence community prompted the Director of National 
     Intelligence, General James Clapper, to state, ``Never have I 
     seen a more remarkable example of focused integration, 
     seamless collaboration, and sheer professional magnificence 
     as was demonstrated by the Intelligence Community in the 
     ultimate demise of Osama bin Laden.''.
       (10) While the death of Osama bin Laden represents a 
     significant blow to the al Qaeda organization and its 
     affiliates and to terrorist organizations around the world, 
     terrorism remains a critical threat to United States national 
     security.
       (11) President Obama said, ``For over two decades, bin 
     Laden has been al Qaeda's leader and symbol, and has 
     continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends 
     and allies. The death of bin Laden marks the most significant 
     achievement to date in our Nation's effort to defeat al 
     Qaeda.''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the raid that killed Osama bin Laden demonstrated the 
     best of the intelligence community's capabilities and 
     teamwork;
       (2) for years to come, Americans will look back at this 
     event as a defining point in the history of the United 
     States;
       (3) it is vitally important that the United States 
     memorialize all the events that led to the raid so that 
     future generations will have an official record of the events 
     that transpired before, during, and as a result of the 
     operation; and
       (4) preserving this history now will allow the United 
     States to have an accurate account of the events while those 
     that participated in the events are still serving in the 
     Government.
       (c) Report on the Operation That Killed Osama Bin Laden.--
     Not later than 90 days after the completion of the report 
     being prepared by the Center for the Study of Intelligence 
     that documents the history of and lessons learned from the 
     raid that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden, the 
     Director of the Central Intelligence Agency shall submit such 
     report to the congressional intelligence committees.
       (d) Preservation of Records.--The Director of the Central 
     Intelligence Agency shall preserve any records, including 
     intelligence information and assessments, used to generate 
     the report described in subsection (c).

     SEC. 502. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING INTEGRATION OF FUSION 
                   CENTERS.

       It is the sense of Congress that ten years after the 
     terrorist attacks upon the United States on September 11, 
     2001, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation 
     with the Director of National Intelligence, should continue 
     to integrate and utilize fusion centers to enlist all of the 
     intelligence, law enforcement, and homeland security 
     capabilities of the United States in a manner that is 
     consistent with the Constitution to prevent acts of terrorism 
     against the United States.

     SEC. 503. STRATEGY TO COUNTER IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICES.

       (a) Strategy.--
       (1) Establishment.--The Director of National Intelligence

     devices.
       (2) Contents.--The strategy established under paragraph (1) 
     shall identify--
       (A) the networks that design improvised explosive devices, 
     provide training on improvised explosive device assembly and 
     employment, and smuggle improvised explosive device 
     components into Afghanistan;
       (B) the persons and organizations not directly affiliated 
     with insurgents in Afghanistan who knowingly enable the 
     movement of commercial products and material used in 
     improvised explosive device construction from factories and 
     vendors in Pakistan into Afghanistan;

[[Page H9807]]

       (C) the financiers, financial networks, institutions, and 
     funding streams that provide resources to the insurgency in 
     Afghanistan; and

     SEC. 504. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE PRIORITY OF RAILWAY 
                   TRANSPORTATION SECURITY.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the nation's railway transportation (including subway 
     transit) network is broad and technically complex, requiring 
     robust communication between private sector stakeholders and 
     the intelligence community to identify, monitor, and respond 
     to threats;
       (2) the Department of Homeland Security Office of 
     Intelligence and Analysis maintains a constructive 
     relationship with other Federal agencies, state and local 
     governments, and private entities to safeguard our railways; 
     and
       (3) railway transportation security (including subway 
     transit security) should continue to be prioritized in the 
     critical infrastructure threat assessment developed by the 
     Office of Intelligence and Analysis and included in threat 
     assessment budgets of the intelligence community.

     be determined by reference to the latest statement titled 
     ``Budgetary Effects of PAYGO Legislation'' for this Act, 
     submitted for printing in the Congressional Record by the 
     Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, provided that such 
     statement has been submitted prior to the vote on passage.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Michigan (Mr. Rogers) and the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. 
Ruppersberger) each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Michigan.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  This is a good day for the United States, certainly a good day for 
the men and women who serve so proudly in our intelligence services 
that work tirelessly to keep America safe. This is a good day to bring 
the fiscal year 2012 intelligence authorization bill to the floor 
today. This will be our second intelligence authorization bill since 
January of this year, when I became chairman and my ranking member took 
his position as well for the House Intelligence Committee, and it will 
be the 29th bill in our committee's history.

                              {time}  0920

  This bill is a vital tool for congressional oversight of the 
intelligence community's classified activities and is critical to 
ensuring that our intelligence agencies have the resources and 
authorities they need to do their important work.
  Passing an annual intelligence authorization bill is vital to keeping 
the laws governing our intelligence operations up to date. The FY12 
bill sustains our current intelligence capabilities and provides for 
the development of future capabilities, all while achieving significant 
savings.
  The U.S. intelligence community plays a critical role in the war on 
terrorism and securing the country from many threats that we face 
today. Effective and aggressive congressional oversight is essential to 
ensuring continued success in the intelligence community.
  The intelligence authorization bill funds U.S. intelligence 
activities spanning 17 separate agencies. This funding totaled roughly 
$80 billion in fiscal year 2010. The current challenging fiscal 
environment demands the accountability and financial oversight of our 
classified intelligence programs that can only come with an 
intelligence authorization bill.
  The bill's comprehensive classified annex provides detailed guidance 
on intelligence spending, including adjustments to costly programs. 
This bill funds the requirements of the men and women of the 
intelligence community, both military and civilian, many of whom 
directly support the war zones or are engaged in other dangerous 
operations to keep America and Americans safe.
  It provides oversight and authorization for critical intelligence 
activities, including the global counterterrorism operations, such as 
the one that took out Osama bin Laden; cyberdefense by the National 
Security Agency; countering the proliferation of weapons of mass 
destruction; global monitoring of foreign militaries and weapons tests; 
research and development of new technology to maintain our intelligence 
agencies' technological edge, including work on code breaking and spy 
satellites.
  This has been a strategy for a tough fiscal climate. After passage of 
the Budget Control Act, the committee revamped the bill it reported out 
of committee back in May to double its budget savings. As a result, the 
bill is significantly below the President's budget request for fiscal 
year 2012 and further still below the levels authorized and 
appropriated in fiscal year 2011. These savings--and this is important, 
Mr. Speaker--were achieved without impacting the intelligence 
community's important mission, as the cuts of the 1990s did.
  The bottom line is that this bipartisan bill preserves and advances 
national security and is also fiscally responsible. The secrecy that is 
a necessary part of our country's intelligence work requires that the 
congressional intelligence committees conduct strong and effective 
oversight on behalf of the American people. That strong and effective 
oversight is impossible, however, without an annual intelligence 
authorization bill. And I want to thank both of the staffs for the 
Republicans and the Democrats, and the members from both the 
Republicans and Democrats on this committee for coming together in a 
bipartisan way on the important issue of national security. And I thank 
my friend, Dutch Ruppersberger, the ranking member, for his leadership 
in getting us not to one, but to two authorization bills within just 10 
months. And that's no small accomplishment, as you might know, Mr. 
Speaker.
  With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I rise today in favor of the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY 
2012.
  When Chairman Rogers and I took over leadership of the House 
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, we made a commitment to 
work together to ensure the intelligence community has the authorities 
it needs to effectively protect America. This intelligence 
authorization bill achieves this purpose. It gives our intelligence 
professionals critical resources, capabilities, and authorities. We 
passed FY11 earlier this year, and now we can see the finish line for 
FY12.
  For 5 years, there were no intelligence bills. There was a gap in 
oversight. When this bill is signed into law, it will be the third time 
in 3 years that the Intelligence Committee has passed an intel 
authorization act.
  I strongly believe that passing the authorization bill is critical to 
national security. The Intelligence Committee wants to strengthen the 
intelligence community and give them the tools they need. However, it 
is also our job to conduct thorough, effective oversight and provide 
budgetary direction. This bill does that.
  This bill makes smart choices. It trims and eliminates duplicative 
efforts wherever possible. We made careful decisions and were mindful 
to protect the current and future capabilities that protect our Nation. 
This bill aligns our resources with our current threats and makes 
important investments in space, satellites, and cyber.

[[Page H9808]]

  This bill is even more important today with the 10th anniversary of 
9/11 fresh in our minds. When it comes to terrorism, Osama bin Laden 
may be gone, but radical extremists still have the United States as a 
target.
  Intelligence is clearly the best defense against terrorism, and this 
bill makes our defense even stronger. This act is bipartisan and 
bicameral. The members of our Intelligence Committee work not as 
Democrats or Republicans, or as the House or Senate, but as Americans 
protecting our country. This bill is proof that Congress can work 
together to do good things. I fully support this bill and urge my 
colleagues to do the same.
  And I also want to acknowledge the leadership of Chairman Rogers for 
helping put this bill together.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. I continue to reserve my time, Mr. Speaker.
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to my distinguished 
colleague from the State of California (Mr. Thompson).
  Mr. THOMPSON of California. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 1892, the Intelligence 
Authorization Act for FY12.
  As the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Human 
Intelligence, Analysis, and Counterintelligence, I am pleased that we 
were able to work together to bring a bipartisan, bicameral 
intelligence authorization bill to the House floor for the third year 
in a row. This is a testament to the hard work and leadership of our 
chairman, Mr. Rogers, and ranking member, Mr. Ruppersberger.
  This bill will increase information sharing throughout the 
intelligence community. It includes a provision that is important to my 
home State of California, requiring the Director of National 
Intelligence to compile a threat assessment of foreign drug traffickers 
that are destroying our public lands here in the United States and 
causing unacceptable levels of violence because of their drug-growing 
operations in our public parks and forests. This bill requires the DNI 
to share this information with Federal land management agencies like 
the Forest Service so that we can take back our public lands.
  The bill also includes a provision that I authored, working with my 
friend and former committee colleague, Representative Anna Eshoo from 
California, requiring the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency 
to provide a full report on the events surrounding the May 2011 Osama 
bin Laden raid. We are all very proud of the intelligence community's 
extraordinary efforts in carrying out this operation. We believe it's 
important that the intelligence community document this operation in 
our permanent record as to how the operation was conducted and its 
importance on our counterterrorism efforts.
  Mr. Speaker, this legislation will improve our national security, 
will enhance the capabilities of the intelligence community, and will 
make our Nation stronger.
  I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. I continue to reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I think we really need to discuss the issue of cybersecurity. 
Cyberthreat is the one thing I think that keeps a lot of us on the 
Intelligence Committee up at night, how serious a threat it is to our 
country--we're being attacked on a regular basis. And we as a country 
need to do what we have to do to go forward and deal with the issue of 
cyber.
  Cyber poses one of the greatest threats to Americans from both an 
economic and national security perspective. We are losing millions of 
dollars because of cyberattacks. Our intellectual property is being 
stolen daily just as we speak. Our Pentagon is being attacked as we 
speak. We have seen countless examples of cutting-edge U.S. ideas being 
stolen and used for foreign products.
  Cyber is also a major national security concern. We only have to look 
at the attack on South Korea's banking system to realize the impact an 
attack can have on critical infrastructure. In South Korea, depositors 
lost access to their money and critical investment. Data was lost. An 
attack like this could happen in the United States if we do not prepare 
and focus on the issue of cybersecurity. This bill strengthens U.S. 
cyberdefenses, again, a very important part of this bill.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  I appreciate the gentleman bringing up the issue of cybersecurity, an 
incredibly important issue, one that this committee spends a great deal 
of time on. And the ranking member and myself and many members of this 
committee have co-authored a bill--and many Members of this House--to 
give that first important step to protecting Americans' networks from 
both economic espionage and attack of those particular networks.

                              {time}  0930

  I can't think of anything that is more pressing than that particular 
issue, and I appreciate the gentleman's working with us on that 
particular issue and being a leading voice here in Congress on that 
particular issue.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I think another major issue that we've addressed in this bill is the 
issue of space. Years ago, when we went to the Moon, the whole country 
understood how important space was to the national defense of our 
country, and, in those days, everyone knew the names of the astronauts 
the same as they know the names of NFL quarterbacks today.
  And yet, because of the fact that there hasn't been as much in space, 
we as a country need to educate our constituents how important space 
is. We are the strongest country in the world, and one of the main 
reasons is because we are active and control the skies. Yet, right now, 
our space program has to be reinvigorated, and we have to refocus on 
that.
  America, again, controls the world because we control the skies. Our 
investment in space keeps us safe. If we fail to make that investment, 
other countries will move ahead and edge us out. As an example, China 
is going to the Moon. They are spending time, research, and development 
to go to the Moon. Currently, we rely on the Russians to get to the 
international space station.
  We must reinvest in the capabilities to give us the edge in space. We 
also need to think about different ways to get ahead. The bill breaks 
down barriers of our launch industry. All options need to be on the 
table as we talk about keeping America's edge in space.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  The ranking member brings up an important point about how complex 
this bill is and the level of threats and the degree of threat that 
this great country faces every day and really the importance of our 
investment in the technology that we need to keep ahead of enemy 
nations who seek to do us harm.
  This bill embodies the fact that there will be members of the 
intelligence community whose job it is to find those Russian spies--
like the illegal alien Russian case that was here--that are attempting 
to do bad things to the United States. The same with Chinese spies and 
Iranian spies, and the list is very long. And, unfortunately, it's not 
a spy novel; it's not a movie. These things are real. They happen every 
day in the United States, and we are a target of those nation-states as 
they seek to steal our secrets.
  This bill provides those protections, and that means that we have to 
invest in space. It means that we have to invest in our cybersecurity 
capability. It means that we have to invest in our HUMINT collection, 
meaning recruiting others who will help us identify and ferret out 
those who seek to do us harm.
  It means that we have the challenges of trying to make sure that al 
Qaeda, who has expressed an interest in a radiological bomb, doesn't 
get their hands on those types of materials. It means that we have to 
be careful about nuclear weapons being proliferated around the world by 
either force security or, worse yet, nation-states who encourage that 
type of activity.

  It is no simple job being an intelligence officer or being in the 
intelligence community here in the United States.
  I think this bill is an accurate reflection on how we move to the 
next place, but also an important reminder of the important work that 
they do, often in the shadows. The men and women who conduct this 
important work certainly deserve our support and all of the resources 
that we can muster to make sure that they're successful in their 
endeavors.
  With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I think it's extremely important that we look back where we've come 
from since 9/11.
  During 9/11, or before 9/11, we had agencies, intelligence agencies 
that just were not working together. There was not a teamwork approach. 
And, as a result of not working together, the attack of 9/11 occurred. 
The 9/11 Commission made numerous recommendations, and a lot of those 
recommendations were very positive and were implemented.
  As a result of the bin Laden raid and bringing him to justice, I 
think it showed the teamwork that is needed, especially in the 
intelligence community, to work together, whether or not it's NSA, the 
NRO, it's the military, all those different agencies coming together 
and working as a team. And we would not have had the success that we 
had with bin Laden if it weren't for that teamwork approach.
  I think now we have to learn about the teamwork approach and working 
together in Congress, also. We as Members of Congress need to do our 
job and come together and do the people's work, and the partisan 
politics has to stop.
  What I'm leading to is that I think that this bill, and the previous 
bills that we've passed, and the leadership of Chairman Rogers and the 
open minds of every member, whether Democrat or Republican, on the 
Intelligence Committee has allowed us to come together and have a 
bipartisan bill. And we would hope that what is happening here today in 
the bills that we've passed will be looked at as an example for the 
future.
  Again, Chairman Rogers, thank you for that commitment. We made a 
commitment when we first came that the stakes are too high, national 
security is too high, and we must work together.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. I continue to reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to a member of the 
Intelligence Committee, the gentleman from California (Mr. Schiff).
  Mr. SCHIFF. I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I want to thank 
the chair and ranking member for the extraordinary job they have done 
on the Intelligence Committee.
  This committee, I think, has been more productive than it's been in 
years, and owing largely to the efforts of these two gentlemen as well 
as all the members of the committee. I am greatly appreciative of the 
spirit of cooperation and nonpartisanship that prevails on the 
Intelligence Committee, and I want to thank both of these gentlemen.
  I also enjoy working with Joe Heck, the chairman of the Technical and 
Tactical Subcommittee, and as ranking member I appreciate the 
opportunity to work on our overhead architecture issues. I remain 
concerned that we are largely investing in some inherited systems that 
are important but very expensive and can often crowd out new 
innovations and new technologies that are worthy of investment that 
provide potentially game-changing capabilities, but I look forward to 
continuing to work with the chair and ranking member to advance the 
science and technology that helps us stay one step ahead of our 
adversaries and helps us keep an eye on some of the bad actors around 
the world that pose a potentially great threat to the United States.
  But, once again, I'm greatly appreciative of the efforts of the 
committee and our leadership. I think this is a superb bill and moves 
our intelligence capabilities forward.
  I urge my colleagues to join in support.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  I appreciate the gentleman and look forward to continuing to work 
with the gentleman from California on those activities when it comes to 
our overhead architecture. There are programs worthy of investment, and 
the technology that we apply to this particular effort is incredibly 
important.
  We always need to stay ahead. America always needs to be number one, 
and this bill reflects that. I think the work of the gentleman 
certainly is reflected in this bill as well, and I look forward to 
continuing to work with you to make sure that we don't have crowd-out 
when it comes to future technology. I think it's incredibly important.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I do want to acknowledge the Technical and Tactical Subcommittee and 
the work done by Mr. Heck and also Mr. Schiff. I have served with Mr. 
Schiff for years on the Intelligence Committee, and he has been very 
focused on the technical area, which is extremely important to our 
national security.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, it took a long time for us to get to this 
point here today. We spent days in important hearings analyzing the 
intelligence community, making sure that we focused on what the 
intelligence community needed. We knew, as this country has an issue 
with respect to the deficit, that we had to do some cutting.
  It's not about cutting; it was what to cut. And we wanted to make 
sure that the cuts that we made in this intelligence bill, working as 
Republicans and Democrats, would not affect the mission for the 
national security of our country. We spent time before the bill passed, 
hours and hours, working, staff working, coming together. And what's 
very unique, also, about this committee is that both the Democrat and 
the Republican staff worked very closely together, and I hadn't seen 
that in the past as a member of this committee for over 9 years right 
now. And that's one of the main reasons that we have such a great, 
effective staff that work together as a team, to come together to make 
sure that we did what we had to do.

                              {time}  0940

  Now we are here today to finish the job. Republicans and Democrats 
have come together to make important choices and to do what is right 
for the intelligence community and our country. This bill makes America 
safer.
  Again, I commend everyone who participated in this effort, especially 
the bipartisan leadership of Chairman Rogers, the other members of the 
Intelligence Committee, and the leadership of Senators Feinstein and 
Chambliss in the Senate Intelligence Committee, again working together. 
We can do our work here, but we need the Senate to come together, and 
we did and we now have the product here today.
  I would like to thank again both the Democrat and Republican staff 
for the countless hours they spent.
  I fully support the fiscal year 2012 Intelligence Authorization Act 
and urge my colleagues to do the same.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my 
time.
  I want to thank the members of the committee, both Republican and 
Democrat, for their fine bipartisan effort on this national security 
bill of real significance. Many, many hours on behalf of both the 
Democrat staff and the Republican staff to get this right. When we had 
to trim back some finances from the community without impacting the 
mission, that is no small challenge, and I think this product is a 
testament to all of the work on behalf of both staffs, and both 
members, Republican and Democrat, to get us here.
  I want to take this time to thank Senator Feinstein and Senator 
Chambliss for their work as well on this particular bill. We wouldn't 
be here today if it weren't for that bicameral and bipartisan effort, 
again, on this national security bill.


                             General Leave

  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that

[[Page H9810]]

all Members may have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their 
remarks and include extraneous material on the bill, H.R. 1892, as it 
will be adopted.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Michigan?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. With that, I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to support the 2012 
Intelligence Authorization Act. In particular, this bill includes 
funding to accelerate implementation of an insider threat detection 
program and requires best practices implemented in the Army to be 
reviewed for inclusion across the Intelligence Community. In addition, 
the bill supports critical resources for cybersecurity, a threat which 
demands the attention of national security specialists.
  As the successful operation against Usama bin Ladin demonstrated 
earlier this year, the Intelligence Community has made significant 
strides towards working together to counter the most complex threats 
facing our nation. Productive cooperation and intelligence integration 
embodies the intent of congressional reforms made after the tragic 
events of 9/11. I am encouraged to see this progress, especially in the 
area of information sharing.
  While the sharing of classified information is imperative to keep our 
country safe, technological advances have also increased the risks of 
this cooperation. As we saw last year with the damage of Wikileaks the 
threat from a malicious insider, with the ``keys to the kingdom,'' is 
real.
  This bill requires the Director of National Intelligence to review 
improvements made to the Army's insider threat regulation and consider 
implementation across the Intelligence Community. The bill also 
accelerates other technical initiatives within the insider threat 
program. It is imperative that we ensure our security officers and 
network administrators have this capability in place to protect our 
most sensitive information.
  Further, this bill helps secure our information and networks both 
from the insider and from outside actors by addressing the risks posed 
to our cyber networks. We must all work together to raise awareness of 
this threat and work with both public and private sector partners. I 
urge my colleagues to join me in support of this bill.
  Mr. HECK. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 1892.
  As the Chairman of the Technical and Tactical Subcommittee, I was 
tasked with leading a comprehensive review of our Nation's satellite 
systems. This review was conducted, and I am confident that the systems 
proposed in the classified annex of this bill provide the best value 
approach to collecting the overhead imagery demanded by our Nation's 
senior policy makers, intelligence analysts and war fighters.
  Two of the intelligence community's chief weapons against terrorism 
are information--and the ability to communicate that information 
swiftly. This reality places a significant demand on our imaging 
systems, and it brings into focus the cost associated with these 
systems.
  As we're fighting the war on terror, we must not allocate resources 
without due process.
  Former Secretary of Defense Gates and former Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mullen both identified America's growing debt 
as their number one national security concern.
  This bill recognizes and selectively funds competition in areas where 
competitive pressure will help improve innovation, reduce risk and 
strengthen the industrial base. This bill also recognizes and 
encourages competition in space launch programs with an eye towards 
reducing the cost of spacecraft launch while maintaining reliability.
  In addition to concern over the federal government's spending habits, 
another reason Nevadans elected me 1ast fall is to restore government 
accountability and oversight.
  The intelligence community is no exception: we must ensure they are 
accountable and receive proper oversight because most of their work 
occurs outside of the public's view.
  Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Ruppersberger are doing incredible 
work on this issue, and I applaud their dedication to restoring proper 
accountability and oversight to the intelligence community.
  I am confident the intelligence authorization act provides the 
resources and latitude our intelligence community needs while removing 
excess and indolence.
  That is why I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on H.R. 1892.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Rogers) that the House suspend the rules 
and concur in the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 1892.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds 
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and 
nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further 
proceedings on this question will be postponed.

                          ____________________
