mr. rogers. we came here together in 1981. i think what mr. rogers and mrs. lowey have done, along with senator mikulski and senator shelby, have been amazing. i want to thank mr. fattah for his partnership and help and, you know, just thank you. you've done a great job. i want to acknowledge the staff diane, as lie, jeff, well as bob and matt. they have done an incredible job. if the american people could have seen the hours, and i want to thank them. this bill totals $51.6 billion which is $1.4 billion below the enacted 2013 level. we have reduced spending by more than $12 billion for agencies funded in the c.j.s. there's no reason why anyone would vote against this bill. we're even $200 million below f.y. 2008, and so it's done an incredible job. the bill includes $8.3 billion for the f.b.i. to fight crime and protect the nation from further terrorist attacks and expand the f.b.i.'s capabilities. also, in addition is $1 million for an independent review to report to congress, to be conducted by an outside commission to look at the progress made over the la

mr. rogers: i yield one minute to the gentleman from pennsylvania, a member of our committee, mr. dent. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. dent: thank you, madam speaker. i rise in strong support of this omnibus legislation today for a number of reasons. first, for the fourth year in a row, we are cutting overall discretionary spending, that is significant. spending levels will be lower than they were for the first time since fiscal year 2009. again, very, very significant. it's also important that we're not passing another continuing resolution which wastes a lot of money. in this legislation we're putting money where it should be and cutting money where we must. so that's important. finally i want to say this. this legislation will help bring about greater predictability, stability and certainty not only to the budget process but the appropriations process and most important of all to the american people, many people are watching our actions, it will create a better environment for business investment, job creation, extraordinarily important. fina

mr. rogers, joe rogers and these programs say we need them. on the other hand you have people who are much more critical. who is going to win? >> just wait until congress gets involved. if the president signs executive orders, those can be reversed easily either by him or by the future president. if congress has shown itself that we want to get in this game too politically, they came close last summer to killing the nsa program and will try again. >> but what will happen? >> i think they are close to having -- because the president is being pinch i had by -- pinched by both sides. you have the traditional left and the right libertarian who are coming together. together they may be close to a majority. >> where is the center of gravity, joe among republicans? if they go along with what the presidentoposes this is a done deal. if they resist you may have a chance at preserving the powers? >> that's the big question. a lot of the more mature members of the republican party are resistant to the proposals that owe -- obama has come forward with. th

so that leaves his word against congressman rogers. mr. s exiled in russia so we're unable to talk to him. we thought we might have better luck with chairman rogers. we asked him to come on the program to tell us what he could about his claim. he declined. which again leaves the allegation hanging out there totally unsubstantiated. the implication from mr. rogers, clear, basically trust me. keeping them honest, with so many stories we've taken public servants on their word before only to find out they weren't telling the truth or exaggerating. listen to this exchange from senator ron widen and director of national intelligence james clapper. >> what i wanted to see is if you could give me a yes or no answer to the question. does the nsa collect any type of data at all on millions of hundreds of millions of americans? >> no, sir. >> it does not? >> not wittingly. >> again when the facts came to light we learned that statement by director clapper was false. this time with the latest allegation we're still waiting for facts. dana bash has been

mr rogers is suggesting there's something more technically based behind the allegations. without knowing the details, i don't think anyone is in a position to know how concrete the evidence for that is. i'm not sure i would necessarily agree, at least with the statement that has just been recorded. the ip was that he didn't just collect information on privacy. i don't know how hermetically sealed we can say the operations are. that if you collect the information relevant to the privacy of americans, that that will not be involved collecting a lot of other information as well. i don't think it's something that can be dismissed out of hand >> has there been evidence showing that russia may have had a role in this. >> not to my knowledge. the burden is on those making the allegations. they may not be able to produce them publicly, even if that information exists. >> thank you for your time. former foreign policy advisor to the u.s. senate republican committee. >> thank you. >> before the edward snowden leaks, before public scrutiny the n.s.a. was working on a high tech build

mr. rogers has evidence of a direct al qaeda role, make it public. where's the beef?nderstanding there is an investigation going on. second of all, in the "new york times" story, they basically say who they think is responsible. where's the administration going after the people who are responsible? what are they saying to the members of the family of these americans that died over there? >> hey, steve. i get calls on the radio to this day of people who will almost bark out benghazi as a rallying cry. i wonder, however, does this have legs beyond those outside of the hard core gop base? >> it has legs with the same people who are still harping about the president's birth certificate. this is the mirage that some republicans see very, very clearly. but when you get up close to it, it doesn't really exist. and i agree with you, michael. "the new york times" didn't completely exonerate the administration. they did say there were security lapses. they said there were indications that there could be problems. but they took a deeper look and they found what susan rice said a

mr. rogers and i met. we were deeply concerned about the cost of living issue related to military retirees of working age who were disabled or were survivors. their colas were mistakenly reduced by 1% in the recent budget agreement. this bill, the consolidated appropriations act of 2014, fixes that problem. it is limited in scope. it's limited to disabled military retirees and survivors of departed service members. the neediest of the needy. we hope as time moves on there is a presidential and d.o.d. commission on pension reform at d.o.d. and we'll have a comprehensive approach and i'll do it. but i also want my colleagues to know we were very mindful of these veterans, so we did this fix for the military retirees of working age who are disabled, who are survivors of departed service members, but we also did something else. if you go to the web site in the house, which has the most detail because it's pending there. it will come up in the senate when it moves here tomorrow. we really put money into veteran

mr. rogers is the republican chair of the house intelligence committee and yet a person i have great respect for. i think he's professional, a former fbi agent. i take what he says very seriously. i've not seen any evidence to suggest what he said. >> the future of spying in america is going to be something that congress is going to take up. how much authority should these intelligence agencies have? do you think these programs that allow the government to collect bulk metadata, should they be here to stay? >> we have to change these programs. the president challenged us to do it. i have spoken on the floor of the senate for years about this program but only in the most circumspect way. i couldn't be specific or tell the details we now know. but the fact is we have to change them. if we have a suspicion of a person in area code 312 in chicago connected with terrorism, we don't need to collect all the phone records of every person living in the 312 area code. that's just unacceptable. the government shouldn't hold that information. the president has challenged congress and the attorney genera

mr. snowden acted alone. i guess i'm curious right now. chairman rogers and others using that language like that somehow hinders the relationship u.s. is trying to develop with russia by making the suggestions when it appears the administration has no -- >> i think the disagreement we have with russia over edward snowden, i think, has been publishingly expressed with some frequency. i don't think that -- i don't think that that is really an issue. the president spoke with president putin directly and does so with some frequently as the president -- >> no. i'm saying in general we don't -- that the president can talk to president putin and does, and in our relations with russia we have areas of significant cooperation where our interests are aligned. we have areas of significant disagreement including but not limited to the matter of edward snowden. but i don't think we're anything but transparent about that. we have expressed that clearly both on that matter and other matters. that's been the approach the president has taken in our relations with russia.

mr. snowden to be on his own. and it seems to me he might be getting help. >> do you agree with chairman rogers, that he may have had help from the russians? >> he may well have. we don't know. >> the claim that he may not have acted alone was first reported by fox news in early december based on an interview with mike rogers. on sunday, he went further. >> some of the things he did was beyond his technical capabilities. how he arranged travel before he left, how he was ready to go. i believe there's a reason he ended up in the hands and loving arms of an ffsb agent in ma cow. >> the hotel did not respond to fox's questions about snowden, nor did journalist glen greenwauld who has handled most of the leaked documents. in december, he described the original claim as baseless. the nsa debate now moves to capitol hill where attorney general eric holder will testify next week before the senate judiciary committee. as the democratic chairman suggested on fox news sunday, the president's reforms do not go far enough. >> this is questions for the republicans and democrats who are concerned we're going too much into the pri

mr. gelman. i think that what the president has said is that he wanted to maintain the capability of the program, that as chairman rogers it has not been abused or misused and it is carried out by very strict lit vetted and professional people. now, what he said is, by march 28th, i'm asking the attorney general to come back to me with some suggestions and probabilities of how the data might be stored by others in the government. and i think that's a very difficult thing because the whole purpose of this program is to provide instantaneous information to be able to disrupt any plot that may be taking place. and you know, i think a lot of the privacy people perhaps don't understand that we still occupy the role of the great satan. new bombs are being devised. new terrorists are emerging. new groups. actually, a new level of viciousness. and i think we need to be prepared. i think we need to do it in a way that respects people's privacy rights. >> well. >> let me make one other point. when you look at what companies collect, the government does not seem to be a major offender at all. >> but isn't the difference, of course
