Since September 11th Congress has created the Department of Homeland Security more than doubled the homeland security budget and implemented a bipartisan overhaul of our intelligence systems.

Intelligence is playing a more important role in policymaker decisions than I think I've ever seen in my time in Congress or before.

I'm the chairman of the intelligence committee. We don't only get formal briefings but we collect our information from the intelligence community in a variety of ways.

The United States has done more for the war crimes tribunal than any other country in the world. We're turning over all the information we have including intelligence information.

It takes intelligence to make real comedy and it takes a reality base to create all that little stuff I like to do that makes you giggle inside.
