The section 501 of fisa. That is no record of the actual conversation of the content that is recorded or collected by the National Security agency. The nsa has not been acting outside of its authority. The Metadata Program is carefully designed with program layers of oversight by all three branches of government. This is precisely where our government ought to operate. With input from article one, and article two and article three of the United States constitution. It is our duty to discuss the legal balance. We shouldnt be misleading the American People into thinking the nsa has been acting illegally. There is no program in the United States government that is as carefully monitored and overseen as this program is. Thise extent that some in chamber wish to review or provide more protections, we should proceed through debated legislative process, so the full implications for security are clearly understood. I reserve the balance of my time. The gentleman reserves. For what purpose does
Combatant is a necessary incident to the conduct of this war. There is no question about the constitutionality of the detention at Guantanamo Bay. Lets talk about the merits. Current detainees have been off the battlefield for some time. They may continue to provide vital intelligence to u. S. Intelligence collection is that we now focus on those who are there today.

We will serve our National Security far better if we were able to capture them. We talked about options. What are our alternatives . We could release them to third as senator

Thats why they keep the employee rate at 49 and dont hire the extra employees. If you are at 50, though, and you are under the mandate. The increase is 800 per employee. If you are at 75 employees, the increase is 1 1,200 per employee. 150, en 1,400 and then 1,600 per employee. Thats why so many of these Small Businesses are right there, my colleagues at 49, with no increase, because no job growth or employees that are hired at 29 hours a week trying to support yourself, much less a family at 29 hours a week.
