                          PROTECTING SECURITY

  (Ms. HARMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, my district makes most of our Nation's 
intelligence satellites. I have served on our key security committees, 
and I devote enormous attention to helping develop legal and 
operational strategies to keep our country safe.
  The Obama administration understands that security and liberty are 
not a zero-sum game. We will either get more of both or less. We must 
capture or kill high-value targets, which this administration is doing 
in far greater numbers than did the Bush administration. But we must 
also live our values. Most important among them is the principle that 
the rule of law applies to all.
  Tomorrow, my Subcommittee on Intelligence and Terrorism and Risk 
Assessment will hold a hearing to examine how the Internet is used by 
terrorists to train, recruit, and plan attacks inside the country and 
what the U.S. Government should do about it. It is the third in a 
series of hearings on violent extremism.
  The Internet is a forum for free speech and global commerce, but the 
dark underside of that is it can also be a forum for violence and 
global terror. As difficult and controversial as this subject is, we 
need to find the right ways to intercept those who would do us harm. 
Developing a strategy around the Internet has to be part of that 
equation, and so does protecting security and liberty.
