Heinrich Keynotes Albuquerque Press Women And League Of Women Voters Luncheon

Press Release

Today, U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the Armed Services Committee delivered the keynote address at the Albuquerque Press Women and League of Women Voters luncheon where he discussed balancing civil liberties with national security in a digital age.

Senator Heinrich is an original co-sponsor of the USA FREEDOM Act, a bill he co-sponsored that was signed into law in June to end the National Security Agency's (NSA) bulk collection program that has allowed the government to collect billions of Americans' private records while suspecting them of no wrongdoing. He also strongly supported the release of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's report on the CIA's detention and interrogation program and supports a series of reforms to prevent the future use of torture.
