Our Nation's Military And Law Enforcement Personal

The March On Washington Affirmed Our Values As A People: Equality And Opportunity For All. Forty-one Years Ago, During A Time Of Segregation, These Were An Ideal.

The 9/11 Commission Strongly Recommends That The National Intelligence Director Be Fully In Control Of The Budget, From Developing It To Implementing It, To Ensuring That The National Intelligence Director Has The Clout To Make Decisions.

Our Nation's Military And Law Enforcement Personal Work Hard To Protect Us. We Must Thank Them For Their Continued Vigilance. Without Their Sacrifice We Would Less Capable Of Protecting Our Nation.

The National Intelligence Director Needs The Authority To Do The Job We Are Asking Him To Do. That Means Power Over The Intelligence Budget. And To Be Effective, To Be Allowed To Do His Or Her Job, They Must Have Authority Over The Budget.

It Is Clear We Can Make Reforms To Better Ensure We Are Giving Law Enforcement All Of The Tools They Need While Maintaining The Appropriate Safeguards To Protect The Very Freedoms We Cherish.
