So i do think theres a conflict there, but i dont think hes like giving up the idea of a claim to some sort of absolute. I just dont know what it is. What about that quotation which each of us gave a version of it, didnt we . In my version, he says the white communitys entitled to prevail politically because for the time being, anyway, the leaders of American Civilization are white. So he isnt saying theyre destined to be the leaders because of their whiteness. Hes saying at the moment they just happen to be. Thats right. In the version i have he says not that the leaders are white but that the white race is for the time being the advanced race which is a slightly different statement to make, actually. Thats right. You know, and for the time being and that gets into this whole thing im talking about. Again, i think its kind of a fantasy that segregation could be used as a way of imposing superiors for a way for the negro to evolve or come up out of this backwardness. You know, i just i

Question, first. In terms of the input, my opinion the devil is always in the details. I would want to understand the specifics of what we are talking about. That is a good duck. It just doesnt crack. Lets move on, i want to ask you about the use of encrypted information by terrorist and criminals. The fbi director came before us and gave us stark testimony about going dark and how big the problem was. Did you believe the increased use of this kind of encryption and apps as you pointed out poses a National Security threat . Yes, maam, i am concerned the direction we are going, if we make no changes is minted we have to get together with the government and industry and policy side. This is a complex network and there is no simple answer here. If we put our mind to it, we can come up with a solution that is september acceptable. You dont want me or an Intelligence Organization making those kinds of decision. You dont want us to unilaterally do that. I am the first to acknowledge that. Th
I would like to call this hearing to order. Admiral, welcome. I would like to welcome admiral rogers, director of the National Security agency. Mike, as you know we typically hold hearing in close session so we can review your classified programs. Given the sensitive nature of the programs and the need to protect methods which intelligence is gathered that position is understandable. Today, we want to take time to insure the American People have an opportunity to learn more about the nsa, the mission you workforce is tasked with and what you are doing to combat the increasing cyber threat to the nation. Cyber threats are top priority for the Intelligence Community. Attacks are increasing in scale, scope, and complexity and severity of impact. The office of personal management suffered from one of the biggest Cyber Breaches our government has ever encountered and there are count less other recent examples of attacks in the public and private sector. While the nsa typically works in secr
That see those of culture and compliance that i think it s. Our greatest advantage. Nsa plays a significant role in counterterrorism efforts, discovering terrorists plans, intentions, communications and location toss disrupt or defeat the their attack. Obviously we cant go into great detail here, but to what extent can you discuss it please he will plate on that ns sachlt is doing to combat terrorism and more specifically something that every american is focused on is and isil. So without going into the details of how we do this, we broadly use our ability to Work Communications in the foreign space to generate insights as to what isil and other groups are doing. Largely through our cyber and our signals intelligence expertise. The challenge i would argue in the Counterterrorism Mission set for us, whether its isil, ive seen the same thing in al qaeda and al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, for example, ive seen more changes in their behavior in the last two years probably than any othe
