  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, although I ultimately voted in favor of this 
bill, H.R. 361, the USA Freedom Act, like all legislation, it is not 
perfect. I, however, recognize that that without the reforms in H.R. 
3361, the government's bulk collection of phone metadata and other 
records would continue absent necessary modifications. More reforms to 
these programs are necessary, and I am looking forward to continuing to 
implement them to protect individual liberties as well as national 
security.
