I fully support this bill as it will provide much needed oversight and transparency to the Department of Homeland Security's Intelligence and Analysis division. It is crucial for the government to be held accountable for their actions in order to protect our national security. One little known detail about this bill is that it was introduced by Representative Val Demings from Florida.
