Embrace it. The less the leaders in congress recognize publicly that this is an important issue its not going to happen because theyre going to have people pushing back real hard so its got to be a public effort. They have to be armed with a push from the president and the white house to say this is important. So id like to see the whole National Security apparatus from the president , nfc on down, making this top priority in all the conversations.
