House Passes Intel Bill

With the full House having passed the fiscal year 2015 intelligence authorization bill, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) this afternoon released a statement on the legislation:

"The House has acted in a bipartisan way to support critical national security operations that help keep Americans safe. Our national security professionals work around the clock to track countless threats to our country, and making sure they have the tools and resources they need to do their jobs efficiently and effectively is one of our most important responsibilities. I appreciate the careful work that Chairman Rogers and the members of the Intelligence committee did to make sure this bill includes reforms that will protect American citizens from government overreach, strengthen the oversight authority of the Inspector General of the National Security Agency, improve our security clearance process, and bolster the development of new technologies and our cyber workforce."
