ncis. >> could you see them striking on u.s. soil? >> yes, i could see them striking on u.s. soil. >> and would that be iranian agents or would that be a surrogate group? >> i think it would be potentially a combination of both. i think they know psychologically, the impact that an attack on u.s. soil would have. >> in fact, last october the fbi charged this suspected iranian agent with plotting to assassinate the saudi ambassador in washington, d.c. and since 9/11 at least three suspected reconnaissance operations against targets including the new york city subway system have been disrupted by police and the fbi. tom betro, the former ncis director was a a key leader of the task force setting up iraq's operation. he said iran is a bigger challenge. >> we don't have as much intelligence about their networks as we would have had against the iraqis. i would say that the urgency, because of that type of warfare, that unconvention warfare is part of iran's battle plan. it's much more important to aggressively disrupt those activities. >> why wouldn't they be worried that some kin

obviously the interest ncis is a huge show, and having them as a lead-in really helped us.ennan did a great job with the show runner and the writing staff does an amazing job, and the network really got behind it, and believed in us, you know, and the writers have been great. it is one of those things that happened and you can't really say why, you know. >> and so you can either make television or movies or music for the rest of your life, but only one of them, what would you do? >> wow. that is harsh. ugh, that is an interesting question. i guess -- i guess i'd make television movies that are musicals.

in other words, only the conditions in the ncis would apply for which there are multiple conditions alreadyn those. those will stay. also it requires ferc into a memorandum of understanding with the state of nebraska, within 30 days of enactment. the state of nebraska was unable to testified two weeks ago to state department objections. but within the testimony that the nebraska deq submitted was a concern that the state department had not entered into an m.o.u. with them, even though the m.o.u. was sitting on the state department's desk ready to sign. this amendment would ensure that ferc cannot be similarly dilatory in executing an m.o.u. with my home state. this gives our, my home state a path forward on this issue. instead of being in limbo as they are now. the third of the three and them and to section would clarify that the holder of any permit issued under the act may begin construction of portions of the pipeline while the proposed nebraska route modification is being determined. last changed in this amendment comes in section four, clarifying that only federal law i intend to super
