Let me repeat what I said in my statement--and I share the distinguished Senator's views, more especially from his experience on both committees, the Intelligence Committee and the Armed Services Committee. We both face the same kind of responsibilities, our oversight responsibilities. We take them very seriously. We may have differences of opinion on the Intelligence Committee or on the Armed Services Committee, but we do our oversight. The simple fact is that the vice chairman, myself, and other members of the committee--and let me stress now full membership of the committee; we worked very hard to get that access--have been fully briefed in the past and the present and also prospectively of the CIA's detention and interrogation operations. The vice chairman and other members of the Intelligence Committee, if people have problems, if people have questions, if people need to get more briefs, if people want to basically get into some--I say ``some'' because I think some of the questions are not reasonable--say they have questions about this, all they have to do is ask. I can guarantee as chairman that those in charge of this particular program at the CIA will be there and have been there.
