The Vice President Visits My Office

23 Jan
2008

The Heritage Foundation hosted Vice President Cheney today for a speech on FISA, the intelligence-gathering law that awaits congressional action before Feb. 1. The speech itself got mixed reviews, but topic couldn’t be more important to the debate on the war on terror. With Democrats threatening to delay action, Cheney sought to put pressure on lawmakers to act.

We posted the complete 15-minute speech (embedded below) on YouTube and have four shorter clips available if you want the abridged version. The complete text is on The Foundry.

While there weren’t nearly as many complications getting in and out of my office (located directly below the auditorium where Cheney spoke) as there were during President Bush’s visit in November, I still got booted temporarily and didn’t dare venture off the sixth floor.
