From the latter's testimony:

Conclusion
Securing the freedom of the nation requires polices that ensure safety and protect civil liberties. Government policies that ask Americans to give up essential liberties for freedom present a false and dangerous choice. The lessons of September 11 show us how intelligence reforms can be implemented without compromising civil liberties.
America can become more safe while remaining free.
