"Nothing does more to turn off a committee or an individual Senator than you do not get back the answers, and a year is really outside the pale of propriety."

"What I would like to do is really encourage a partnership between DOJ and us in trying to see what we can do to toughen Federal law."

"I would be very interested in what you think we can do and hopefully to work with me on legislation to protect individual privacy."

"Oh, it is just the conflict over the seat."
