“I want to mention to you on the subject, I sit on the Appropriations Subcommittee, Treasury, Post Office, White House. We fund the White House and we put in an amendment that said that if you worked for the White House, that unless it involves national security, you are not allow to look at anybody's FBI file, period. That amendment was passed on a bipartisan basis. We had a few Democrats who voted ``no'', but the ranking member supported it and so forth and we passed it. Because exactly what your constituent said, this is not Democrat versus Republican, this is right versus wrong. If you are over at the White House and you need to look at somebody's files for national security purposes, particularly with all the people who are falling out of airplanes and jumping over the White House fence, I want the President to be protected. I want him to grow to be an old man. I want him to enjoy his last few months of being President peacefully. But the fact is that we do not want people over there on an extracurricular basis invading the privacy of normal citizens.”
