Dana Perino Members Quotations

The appropriate members of Congress have been and continue to be informed with respect to the Terrorist Surveillance Program.

We are actively soliciting the views of members of Congress as well as state and local officials affected by the transaction about what questions they want us to pursue during the course of this investigation.

We were able to provide some additional information to give them a greater understanding of how this program is tailored and structured. Full details have been reserved for the appropriate members of Congress.

We gave committee members some additional information without violating the principle that we had set forth, which is to limit a briefing on the full program.

The administration remains confident that a majority of members of Congress continue to recognize the importance of protecting Americans through lawful intelligence activities directed at terrorists.
