a state judge would complain to the fbi about police abuses. but the broader concern is that without checks and balances, there is nothing preventing a rapid increase of abuses after reauthorization. supporters of this bill will say that it codifies the fbi's internal changes. but what i would say is without real checks and balances that are written into the law, what good are these changes? reformers have put forward extremely modest common senns solutions -- commonsense solutions. warrants would not be required for all u.s. searches. proposals would allow the government to see whether a american was communicating with foreign agents. a warrant is required only when the government wants to read the content of these communications, a situation that arises less than 2% of the time. our provision also allows for emergency searches and has exceptions for imminent threats of death or injury, preexisting law enforcement or fisa warrants, consent, and access to malware and cyberattacks. this modest reform should be debated on and voted on in the sena

states and japan the reason i bring that up is these relationships need to be nurtured over time and fbi contributes to the development and nurturing of these relationships and plays into politics. it is stunning with the dupont steel deal and we will go out together but it's something that i think is behind a lot of our discussions today with tint within opposition to the acquisition of u.s. steel and sherrod brown. the other senator i want to talk about that a little bit. you understand where it's coming from and perhaps economics and politics arere related but they sometimes point us ind different directions. talking about dupont steel and without giving a lecture we call ohio the heart of it all because it looks like a hard but it's better off to think of ohio as a big square and if you look at theif upper right quadrant o ohio. that area used to be democratic and if you look at the results in 2008 and 2012 and 2016 things changed and the area that changed was that upper right corner off ohio. what cities are up there and one is the city that i teach in, a significant city is youngst
