Political Quotes

“Mr. President, the Select Committee on Intelligence has received a request from the Department of Justice for records, created by the committee in the course of its oversight work, pertinent to a pending investigation into the unauthorized disclosure of classified national security information by someone not connected with the committee. This resolution would authorize the chairman and vice chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, acting jointly, to provide records, created by the committee in the course of oversight, in response to this request from the Department of Justice. Because the Department of Justice may seek testimony at some point from staff of the committee, the resolution would also authorize former and current employees of the committee to testify in proceedings arising out of this matter, except where a privilege should be asserted, and to he represented by the Senate legal counsel.”
