congressman, there is one potential suspect who has been placeed under monitoring by the government of tunisia. there are other suspects the f.b.i. are chosely following and consulting with partner governments. based on my last conversation with the director mueller which was a few days ago, he went to libya, he went to tunisia. he believes the investigation is preceding proceeding. i know the f.b.i. has been on the hill doing whiched briefings. i hope the f.b.i. is able to investigate, identify, and hold responsible those who wage this

in washington to the execute requests that were made by our team in libya. i was not aware of that going on. it was not brought to my attention. obviously it is something we are fixing and intend to put in place. protocols and systems, to make sure it doesn t happen again. i hope so, when you have a united states ambassador personally warning about the situation, sending this cable to your office . one point, 1.43 million cable as year come to the state department all addressed to me. they are reported through the bureaucracy. someone in your office should have seen this cable is my judgment. one last question. also, i want to clarify. with regard to the security
