"In the long course of history, having people who understand your thought is much greater security than another submarine"

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded"

"A particularly beautiful woman is a source of terror. As a rule, a beautiful woman is a terrible disappointment"

"I believe that successfully addressing our national security needs while protecting our basic freedoms and civil liberties requires continual Congressional oversight, and I will continue to work to assert the role of this body in carrying out this grave responsibility"
