We've heard members of Congress say that oil company executives knew more about the operation before members of Congress actually did. Is that your understanding, too? We don't know. Again, this is all information that we don't have access to. There apparently was a OLC memo, an Office of Legal Counsel memo, giving the legal basis for this, but that is also classified. So I will have to get permission to go read that again in a skiff. The American people have a right to know. That should be declassified. (06:26–06:34)
