Mark Souder: “We honestly do not know. We know there were at least 200, then 400. It appears there were at least 800. Chuck Colson…”

On the recordOctober 8, 1997
We honestly do not know. We know there were at least 200, then 400. It appears there were at least 800. Chuck Colson went to prison after the Nixon administration for showing one. We documented that interns had them, that multiple people had them. We know they were out there. What has not been documented yet is whether they have been abused. But merely having people's secret files, with any allegations, raw allegations, unproven allegations are in these files.
