Statement by the Press Secretary
This evening House Democrats passed legislation that would dangerously
weaken our ability to protect the Nation from foreign threats. A mere
three months ago reasonable Democrats joined with their Republican
colleagues to craft a bill that responsibly provides our intelligence
professionals the tools they need to protect our Nation and close a
dangerous gap in our intelligence. We are disappointed that this kind
of bipartisan cooperation was so quickly abandoned. Instead, the House
Democrat’s bill to reauthorize the Protect America Act (PAA) fails to
give our intelligence community the tools it needs, and it fails to
protect companies facing massive lawsuits for allegedly stepping up
and answering the Nation’s call for help after the 9/11 terrorist
attacks. If this bill is presented to the President in its current
form, the Director of National Intelligence and the President’s other
senior advisers will recommend that he veto it. -
