[国会记录第161卷，175号（2015年12月3日星期四）] [参议院] [第S8374]向Daniel J. Jones Feinstein致敬。主席先生，我谨赞扬Daniel Jones先生的工作，参议院智力委员会人员的成员，他明天离开参议院。我们许多人进入公共服务以实现差异的简单目标。在了解丹9年之后，我可以说他是在这里工作的少数人民在中国国会山上工作，他已经帮助了历史。如果没有他对情报委员会工作人员的无要工作，参议院关于中央情报局拘留和审讯计划的报告将没有完成，但其执行摘要也不会向公众发布，这导致最近批判性重要的努力长期逾期反酷刑立法。丹在2007年1月从联邦调查局举办了智力委员会，他曾担任情报分析师。在他的前2年的工作人员中，他在监督抵抗力努力和FBI从纯粹的执法机构转变为情报局的转型方面发挥了关键作用 - 这是一个过渡，这已经证明了局识别和挫败了众多恐怖分子的能力过去几年的攻击。然而，他的服务和焦点在2007年12月的启示后转移了，中央情报局曾摧毁过审讯录像带，这些审讯录像带显示了两名被拘留者，阿布·Zubaydah和Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri的残酷治疗和质疑。 Then-Chairman Jay Rockefeller assigned Dan and fellow staffer Alissa Starzak to review the CIA cables describing those interrogation sessions. For the next several months, Dan worked at his full-time job at the committee while also working nights and weekends at CIA headquarters, poring through the cables. The report that he and Alissa produced in early 2009 was graphic, and it was shocking. It demonstrated in documented fact and in the CIA's own words treatment by the U.S. Government that stood in contrast to our values and to what the committee had previously been led to believe. The report sparked a comprehensive investigation by the committee, with a 14-1 vote in March 2009, that Dan led and then saw through to its completion. While carrying out the investigation into the CIA program, Dan also co-led the committee's investigation into the attempted bombing of Northwest Flight 253 over Detroit on Christmas Day 2009 by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Five months later, the committee produced a bipartisan report that found 14 specific points of failure that resulted in Abdulmutallab being able to board the flight and attempt to detonate his explosive device at the direction of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. The report also made both classified and unclassified recommendations to improve our counterterrorism efforts. But back to the investigation on the CIA Detention and Interrogation Program--to say that Dan worked diligently on this study is a gross understatement. He, along with other committee staff, worked day and night, often 7 days a week, from 2009 through December 2012. He became an expert in one of the most unfortunate activities in the history of our intelligence community, going through more than 6 million pages of materials produced for the study, as well as immersing himself in the anti-torture provisions in U.S. law, as well as human rights materials, and the background of other similar historic Senate investigations. Throughout this period, Dan regularly briefed me on the team's findings. Each time, I noted the obvious toll that this was taking on him physically, but he always remained committed to concluding the report. From the end of 2012 through the end of 2014, Dan stewarded the report through two bipartisan committee votes, a lengthy period of review and meetings with the CIA, and an 8-month long redaction review leading to the release of the executive summary of the study on December 9, 2014. He then played a key role in enacting reforms following the release of the executive summary, in particular the passage of a provision in this year's National Defense Authorization Act that will prevent the future use of coercive interrogation techniques or indefinite, secret detention in the future. While Dan is known most for his leadership on the CIA detention and interrogation review, his public service doesn't end there. Before his Federal service, Dan taught for Teach for America in an inner-city school in Baltimore, MD, and he has served on the board of his alma mater, Elizabethtown College. His dedication to service is also demonstrated by his two master's degrees, a master's of public policy from the Kennedy School of Government and a master's of arts in teaching from Johns Hopkins. I want to use this opportunity to thank Dan Jones for his indispensable work over the past 9 years and to wish him the very best as he moves on to future endeavors. ____________________
