On the foreign intelligence matters. You recently wrote that the Church Committee experienced of your Church Committee experience is its important we recognize the extraordinary power the United States has in the international respect for our constitutional principles.

We cede we being the other branches of government particularly the congress cede to the executive branch great powers. If we are under assault or perceive ourselves to be under assault.
