Porter Goss: “As far as I am concerned, if the gentlewoman has some new information that is additional or supplemental or…”

On the recordJuly 9, 1997
As far as I am concerned, if the gentlewoman has some new information that is additional or supplemental or complementary to any of the previous work that has been done on this, that she would bring it to the committee's attention, that we will obviously attend to it forthwith. My understanding is that there has been some work done on this; I do not know the exact status, because we are dealing with somewhat of a new subject that is just a little bit off the record here of what I thought we were talking about, but I am certainly willing, as we have been all along the way on this, with the gentlewoman, with the gentleman from California [Mr. Dixon], and as seen with the gentlewoman from California [Ms. Millender-McDonald] earlier in our colloquy.
