John Kerry's Intel Record Saturday, July 31, 2004 Yesterday on Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, John Kerry invoked a line from Revolutionary War history in an effort to attack President Bush and his administration on intelligence gathering. Referring to the old North Church in Boston, Sen. Kerry said, <font color=blue>"One if by land, two if by sea. And the message was right. Come to think of it, they had better intelligence back then than we do today about what's going on."<font color=black> <font size=4> What's remarkable about Sen. Kerry's statement is that he missed 38 out of the 49 public committee meetings during his eight years as a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Sen. Kerry's running mate now sits on the same committee and has missed four of eight public meetings. This week Sens. John Cornyn and Saxby Chambliss, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, both called on Sens. Kerry and John Edwards to release their attendance records from the private intelligence meetings. Not long after the first World Trade Center bombing, John Kerry proposed $7.5 billion in across the board intelligence cuts. Kerry's 1994 proposal to cut intelligence by $6 billion was criticized at the time by Democrats including then-Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dennis DeConcini and Sen. Daniel Inouye, who warned Kerry's cut <font color=blue>"would severely hamper"<font color=black> intelligence efforts. Kerry's proposal was fortunately defeated by a vote of 20 to 75, with even Sen. Ted Kennedy voting against the measure. In 1995, Kerry proposed a bill to reduce the Intelligence budget by $1.5 billion. This bill had no co-sponsors and never reached the Senate floor for a vote. <font size=3> georgewbush.com ******* ************ ************* bop2004.org <font size=4> Note all Kerry's listed income sources indicate <font color=blue>"spouse"
