Feel differently about the effectiveness of the office of Inspector General. Attorney general cole asked the office of Legal Council to issue a formal opinion resolving this dispute. I hope the Principle Deputy assistant attorney general Karl Thompson and his team would adhere to the plain text of the statute and to our obvious intent and grant the Inspector General unfettered access to every document in the departments position. If the office of Legal Counsel find ambiguity to hold in place any of them on the Inspector Generals access to information, the house judiciary should be the first to act to correct their mistaken impression. Inspector general horowitz, we welcome and we look forward to your testimony today. And to your assistants legislative response is indeed required. I thank the chairman and yield back.

Now, as the only member of the committee that was voted for the 1978 act, i agree wholeheartedly with your testimony. Congress meant what it said in section 6a of the act. Inspector general must be given complete, timely, unfiltered access to agency records. In your opinion, why did the General Council of the fbi feel compelled to arrive at a different interpretation of the same statute . I would be speculating, frac frankly, as to what the motivation was. But theres, i think, its clear as youve indicated from looking at the opinion and you have it, its attached to my statement, that the ig act, i think, trumps the arguments quite clearly. Well, i hope the office of Legal Council issues a strong opinion giving your office unequivocal access to the material and information that you require. And this committee is going to be watching that very c
