as I said, I will support the Conyers amendment when the gentleman from Michigan offers that amendment. I think the American people have a right to know. One of the reasons I want it out there is because the number that is being bandied around here today is inaccurate. It is inaccurate. I would like to have the American people know what the truth is. I would like to also have them know, frankly, what the CIA percentage of that is, because it is a lot different than what we have heard today on the floor. Again to my colleagues, please come up to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and get the real facts. I think it is embarrassing to have these numbers bandied around on this floor that are simply inaccurate.
