Rh feedback from your own staff or feedback from House Members, because they are in no better position than anyone else, in the absence of input from the Bureau and the Department, to Vet either one of these memoranda.

And I can say this, Mr. Conaway, with reference to your concern: We are going to take a step that you aren't, which is, when this is voted out of committee, if you are going to follow through with your commitment to transparency, we are going to have the Department and the Bureau read our memo and redact it before it goes public. I wish you would make the commitment to do the same. If you are serious about it, if you are serious about protecting sources and methods, you will make the same commitment I am, which is give them the chance to redact anything that could compromise either the investigation or sources and methods.

Thank you. and I yield back.
