Mr. Director, i want to say that i have been up to the agency to review those documents that you had referred to before, and i look forward to talking about the information therein in our closed session. I also want to mention something that we had talked with admiral rogers and mr. Comey for in our last or two open sessions ago from the house intelligence committee.
