   HONORING HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE REPRESENTATIVE DAN BOREN OF 
                                OKLAHOMA

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. C.A. DUTCH RUPPERSBERGER

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 12, 2012

  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge the work 
and leadership of one of my colleagues on the House Intelligence 
Committee Representative Dan Boren of Oklahoma. Representative Boren's 
support for educational matters and intelligence issues pertaining to 
the continent of Africa has been critical to the work of the committee. 
Representative Boren immediately began offering new and fresh ideas on 
intelligence, including suggesting the institution of a financial 
reward to incentivize efforts to capture Usama bin Laden. He personally 
worked to enhance the Boren Foreign Language Scholarship program 
initially established by his father, Senator David L. Boren.
  Representative Boren's assistance during the Intelligence Committee's 
drafting and passage of the Cyber Information Sharing and Protection 
Act was critical to our success. I always knew I could count on him for 
good counsel and support. While his retirement will create a vacancy on 
the Subcommittee on Terrorism, HUMINT, Analysis, and 
Counterintelligence, his service has made our committee and country 
better.
  As members of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Boren 
has consistently demonstrated a willingness to work collaboratively to 
ensure the intelligence community has the resources it needs while 
simultaneously securing the constitutional rights of United States 
citizens.
  It has been a pleasure and an honor to work with him on the House 
Intelligence Committee. He has dutifully served both his local 
constituents and this nation.
