I rise today to discuss the National Intelligence Reform bill. I commend my colleagues in both Houses for their hard work in coming to an agreement. As with any conference, each voice is heard, but none can dominate and compromise must be achieved.

I am not opposed to intelligence reform on its face, but any changes should reflect the current context.

The internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes.

[The Internet] is a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

The internet is a series of tubes, and all of those tubes are filled with Joe Francis' semen.

I do have concerns about the current efforts to restructure our nation's intelligence community.
