Today on the House floor, Rep. Michele Bachmann urged her colleagues to support the Intelligence Authorization bill brought forward for a vote. A portion of her remarks, as prepared for delivery: "I am so proud to stand here on the House Floor as a member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, calling on my colleagues to pass the Intelligence Authorization Bill. The American people have made it clear again and again that they want this Congress to exercise the utmost seriousness when dealing with our nation's spending crisis. This bill is a step in that direction, ensuring that there is proper Congressional financial oversight, something that was lacking for the past six years. But they also want to be sure that our responsible approach does not sacrifice the security of our country, and this measure, which funds our intelligence community, ensures that they will have the resources to keep us safe."
