I say to the Senator, when you use the term ``we,'' let's be more specific. You mean the Congress in its various oversight capacities? Maybe the Intelligence Committee, which basically has primary jurisdiction over intelligence issues, like you point out the intelligence aspects of this? The Foreign Relations Committee has held hearings on this issue. Indeed, the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee has held some hearings. So I judge that the ``we'' you refer to is the broad responsibilities of the several committees in the Congress?
