in fact, last week, i visited
with the interpol in france.
my second visit with them.
and in the last several years,
that agency has grown.
when i was there the first time,
10 or 15 years ago, the
difficulty i saw at that time at
our agencies were not
participating in interpol.
as they should.
now they are.
it is imperative that we
continue that work with
interpol.
as i'm sure you will agree.
you have been taking strides in
recent years to treamlining and
optimize your intelligence
components, but i think we can
all agree that much work is
still to be done there.
last year, you requested and we
granted permission to
restructure the fbi's
intelligence program.
