I do believe we should have hearings. I intend to have a meeting with the FBI Director this afternoon. I am also going to talk to the Attorney General on this and a number of other issues, including some about which the Senator has expressed concern to me. He really should come up here before we finish for the year. We should discuss some of these issues. I think the Senator from Pennsylvania is absolutely right in raising this. I appreciate him doing it. He does us all a service.
