John Barrasso: amendment is simple. it prevents the central intelligence agency fr using any funds from the fiscal year 2010 defense appropriations bill to create or operate a center on climate change and national security. to me this center is redundant. it's redundant to activity already conducted by the c.i.a. and other federal agencies.

1:51:12 to 1:51:32( Edit History Discussion )

John Barrasso: there is no reason to create an additional center to do work that is already being done. we do not need to duplicate the work of others. leave the task of gathering and analyzing climate change information to the people in the agencies that do that work. let them pass that information on to the analysts at the c.i.a. to incorporate it into the assessments.

John Barrasso: the eert of the c.i.a. should focus on foreign intelligence gathering to prevent the next terrorist attack.
