Addressing federal legislation on November 17, Westerman commented on recent developments regarding privacy and government oversight: “The provision the Senate placed in last week’s funding bill which allows Senators to sue the federal government over phone records was disappointing to learn about and presents multiple issues that I cannot support. I plan to vote to repeal it.”
