mr. chairman. >> thank you, professor sales. >> thank you. ranking member scott, ranking member smith, mr. conyers, member of the subcommittee, thank you for inviting me to testify. it's a pleasure to appear before you again. i'd like to use my testimony to outline some of the legal tools the government has available to combat leaks. first, federal courts have held that it's a crime under the espionage act for officials to leak classified information to the press. second, officials frequently sign secrecy agreements when they go to work for the government. and the supreme court has held that these secrecy contracts are enforceable. these tools are useful but not perfect. as we've heard, the espionage act in particular is notoriously vague. and congress might want to consider amending it. so let me go into more detail starting with criminal prosecutions. the basic thrust of the espionage act is fairly straightforward. it's a crime for officials to "reveal information relating to the national defense to any person not entitled to receive it." now this law as the na

for his opening statement, the ranking member of the subcommittee, the gentlemen, from virginia, mr. scott. >> thank you mr. chairman. i want to thank you for holding this hearing on the amendment act of 2008. the act established some parameters for the secret and in my view, unconstitutional collection of intelligence information that had been ordered following the 9/11 attacks. however some gaping holes were left in what was required to adequately protect the privacy of united states citizens. americans have a right to feel as well as be free and secure in the persons belonging in activities from unwarranted government intrusion and not concerned that they don't fully meet the standard. the fisa surveillance act was passed in 1978. to curb abuses occurring in the collection of intelligence and use of intelligence information, foreign and domestic. it was not passed for the purpose of excluding all foreign intelligence collection from the u.s. but to regulate and separate foreign and domestic intelligence collection. collection of foreign intelligence requires that there is a collection o

mr. waynestein. >> i thought i did. is it on now? j >> better. >> ranking member scott and ranking members and members of the subcommittee. i want to thank you. before getting into the fisa ammendments act, it's important to remind ourselves of the threat from international terrorism that this legislation was designed to address. since the attacks of 9/11, we have been at war with al qaeda and with terrorist affiliates around the globe and we are making great progress. there many reasons, but one development that contributed to that progress is congress's decision to modernize the surveillance with the passage of the fisa act in 2008. in considering the faa's reauthorization, we need to know why it was that it was necessary to modernize the foreign intelligence act in the first place. as you know, fisa was passed in 1978, establishing the surveillance court or fisa court and requiring that any electronic surveillance of foreign powers or their agents must first be approved by that court. in crafting this law, congress recognized it had to balance the need for review for

it's very difficult to follow mr. scott. he was a very compelling speaker from lincoln high school. and i'm very proud of him. he is one of my athletic directors. i'm don collins, i'm the commissioner for your san francisco section. and i've got 13, well, no, now 14 high schools, 22 middle schools. they playboys and girls soccer and we're expanding which i have the number of schools wrong. we keep growing and as we grow we have difficult getting fields. and when we get fields, we make it difficult for others to get fields. you've heard other people mention this. that's an athletic consequence. what i'm going to tell you is there is also economic consequences, the simple fact of the matter is that many of our students in our fine institutions do not have the funds to do what some people say to go outside of the city and rent the facility. we are here and we must stay here because of oufer finances. so we have an economic problem. and then we have an educational issue. when you play on the grass field, if that springfield not usable. if your practice is cancel you trout out to the fie

next witness is mr. scott gabaldon. from alexander valley. you're up. >> good afternoon, chairman young and members of the subcommittee. my name is scott gabaldon. i am an indian. i'm the elected chairman of the tribe of alexander valley. i would like to thank the committee for this opportunity to represent my people. let me be crystal clear. our tribe was wrongly terminated and deserves its status restored. that is a fact and only focus right now. our history, the napa valley was inhabited solely by the indians until 1823 with 10,000 years of ancestry. we lived peacefully utilizing the resources from the abundant land, rivers and streams. the name, napa valley itself is derived from our language, meaning land of plenty. although the county of napa boasts the indians as part of its cultural heritage, there are those who do not want us to be more than a memory. people like dan dillon who had our district since 1983. the inconvenient truth of opposition to what is clearly an injustice done to our people is that those who oppose us are rich, wine

welch and mr. scott and others have raised on this point, but i want to say to the american people and our constituents, we are not cutting. we are addressing common sense areas that are rife for reform and it is very important that we understand that because in the long run what's going to happen is if we don't deal with these issues, if we don't deal with the waste, fraud and abuse and if we don't deal with gaming the system and bounties and otherwise, the ultimate effect of this will be that those people legitimately receiving assistance and that nearly 80% of the benefits under the payments of this entire bill goes to snap benefits. if we don't deal with those issues in a four square way we'll bankrupt the system and so then we won't have a situation of having to deal with common sense reform. we'll have a system that goes belly up and we won't be able to have benefits for everybody and i don't think anybody wants that. i think mr. welch makes good points and so does mr. mcgovern with how we waste fe

host: mr. scott. guest: what's happened in the last two decades is we've developed unbalanced economy. we've had tremendous groth in imports and our trade deficit and that has cost us, as i said, about five million to 5 1/2 million manufacturing jobs. what happened is those people were pushed into the services sector. so we got imbalance growth. we got too low growth to merchandize manufacturing, too much in services. where was that growth? at the margin there was greatest demand for workers in very low paid jobs like retail trade, wal-mart and restaurants, in home health care, these are not growth industries of the future. they're minimum wage, dead-end jobs. they're not going to help people grow. host: cancun, mexico. this is chris on our independent line. thanks for calling. caller: you know the whole problem with all this outsourcing is, the companies that make billions in profits without having to hire any americans to do the work. you have companies like sprint that have outsourced over 50,000 c

mr. scott: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, two years ago we passed obamacare, and now the supreme court has ruled that it is in fact constitutional and even after this ruling some are ignoring the fact these reforms are working. we know there are children with pre-existing conditions who now have insurance. we know that young adults who had car accidents and the families did not have to go bankrupt due to health care costs because they were able to stay on their parent's policies. we know there are seniors receiving assistance without falling in the doughnut hole. we know people have discovered curable diseases because they didn't have to save up for co-pays and deductibility -- deductibles. we know people won't get kicked off insurance during coverage when they need it the most. every american will receive an affordable health insurance policy. and why would anyone want to take away these protections and leave people without health security? mr. speaker, i urge my colleagues to oppose this 3 st attempt to -- 31st att
