No matter -- is whether or not any of our security was compromised.

For instance -- these women have been working for narco terrorist organization was there any information in the rooms.

Of the agents which -- could have compromised anyone.

Or their blackberries.

Secure at all times.

The overall issue as to.

What will be done as far as correcting the situation.

So that we actually minimize the the possibility of this ever happening again so -- -- that there are pretty specific questions.

I have every reason to believe that director Mark Sullivan will conduct the investigation properly.

It was important that he knows and the public knows that -- committee and others we following up on this we're doing their own investigation -- parallel investigation none of what I do wanna make Nobel.

Video cameras everything was being checked out extensively and Thom satisfied is going well.

Okay on a quick question -- that I've got to go on and appreciate you being patient during the speech there in Washington.

You can may have access to it that information so far there's no indication -- that was the case but we have to check it out completely.

Also I -- senator Grassley has been talking about White House personnel we talked about communications.

Expert they're actually fully with Department of Defense that we -- separate part of it.
