I do appreciate that, and I will take 1 minute to respond. The chairman very properly points out that there was a Schlesinger panel. That panel said the following relative to the lack of cooperation from the CIA with the panel, which is gap No. 1 I have listed as one of the reasons we need an independent commission. The Schlesinger panel said the following: The panel did not have full access to information involving the role of the Central Intelligence Agency in detention operations. This is an area the panel believes needs further investigation and review. I agree they did good work, but they were limited in what they were allowed to do, and they themselves recommended further investigation and review. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Graham). The Senator from Virginia.
