Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) issued the following statement after the United States Senate voted against a motion to begin debate on the USA Freedom Act.

"It is unfortunate that some of my colleagues chose to continue to put our nation's national security at risk by failing to choose the only option available to keep our nation's most essential domestic counterterrorism programs up and running," Lee said.

"That said, I stand committed to staying here in Washington, all week if necessary, to keep working towards passage of the USA Freedom Act."
