| 00:00:00 | AND SECURE THEMSELVES AT THAT POINT. |
| 00:00:02 | >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. |
| 00:00:03 | I KNOW MY TIME IS UP. |
| 00:00:08 | >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. |
| 00:00:09 | >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. |
| 00:00:10 | CHAIRMAN. |
| 00:00:11 | JUST TWO THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO RAISE IN THE TIME THAT I HAVE. |
| 00:00:14 | ONE IS THAT, MR. |
| 00:00:15 | SECRETARY, AS CIA DIRECTOR, YOU HAD OPERATIONAL CONTROL OVER THE BIN LADEN RAID. |
| 00:00:22 | AS YOU KNOW, THREE OF US ON THIS COMMITTEE ALSO SERVE ON THIS SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE WHICH SENATOR FEINSTEIN CHAIRS. |
| 00:00:36 | WE'VE BEEN ARCLARMED WITH THE RECENT SPATE OF LEAKS THAT HAVE OCCURRED AND WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER IN A BIPARTISAN WAY TO TRY TO ADDRESS THIS AND ONE OF THE AREAS OF CONCERN IS OVER THE QUESTION OF THIS ACCOMMODATION OF THE FILMMAKERS WITH THE BIN LADEN RAID. |
| 00:01:01 | IT'S BEEN ONE OF THE UNIFORM PARTICIPANTS AND THAT HAS BEEN MADE PUBLIC AND WE'RE WONDERING, THE QUESTION IS WHAT OTHER DETAILS HAVE BEEN SHARED ABOUT THAT. |
| 00:01:16 | THIS COMES ON THE HEELS OF DEVASTATING LEAKS THAT HAVE COMPROMISED SENSITIVE OPERATIONS AND PUT PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK AND DEVASTATING NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES GOING FORWARD ET CETERA, ET CETERA. |
| 00:01:30 | YOU'RE WELL AWARE OF THAT. |
| 00:01:31 | MY QUESTION HERE IS SIMPLY THE ROLE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE RELATIVE TO THE HOLLYWOOD SITUATION AND OTHER SITUATIONS WHERE YOUR FORCES ARE INVOLVED AND IT IS FAIR TO SAY AND THE CHAIRMAN WOULD AGREE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT EVERY POSSIBLE AVENUE TO TRY TO MINIMIZE, MITIGATE, ELIMINATE THESE TYPES OF LEAKS. |
| 00:01:55 | AND SO WORKING WITH YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE IN YOUR DEPARTMENT IS ONE OF THE AREAS THAT WE'LL NEED TO WORK WITH IN THE COMPREHENSIVE WAY TO GET A HANDLE ON THIS. |
| 00:02:04 | I'M REALLY NOT ASKING YOU FOR, YOU KNOW, DETAILS REGARDING ALL THIS. |
| 00:02:09 | WE ALL LOVE TO GO SEE THESE HOLLYWOOD MOVEIES, THEY'RE EXCITING AND SO FORTH, BUT TO THE EXTENT THAT INFORMATION IS SHARED RELATIVE TO CLASSIFIED OPERATIONS AND PERSONNEL TO MAKE THE MOVIE A LITTLE MORE EXCITING AND REALISTIC AND SO FORTH AND SO ON CONTRIBUTES TO THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE AND SO I THINK WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EACH DEPARTMENT, WHETHER IT'S AGENCY AND INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY AND WHETHER IT'S THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE IS AWARE OF THE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT WOULD PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. |
| 00:02:53 | WHETHER YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT OR NOT, I'LL LEAVE THAT TO YOU. |
| 00:02:57 | >> THANK YOU, SENATOR. |
| 00:02:59 | LET ME SAY AS FORMER DIRECTOR OF THE CIA, I DEPLORE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE. |
| 00:03:11 | AND THE FULLY INVESTIGATED AND IT HAS TO BE CLEAR THAT THIS IS INTOLERABLE IF WE'LL TRY TO PROTECTION THE DEFENSE OF THIS COUNTRY, WE'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT THOSE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN CLANDESTINE OPERATIONS. |
| 00:03:26 | HAVING SAID THAT, I ALSO WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT NO UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURES WERE PROVIDED TO MOVIE PRODUCERS OR ANYBODY ELSE. |
| 00:03:40 | WHAT WE DO HAVE IS WE DO HAVE AN OFFICE AT THE PENTAGON THAT ALMOST EVERY DAY DEALS WITH PEOPLE THAT WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT EITHER A MOVIE OR A BOOK OR AN ARTICLE OR SOMETHING RELATED TO OUR DEFENSE AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INFORMATION THAT THEY DO USE IS ACCURATE AND WE DO ASSIST THEM WITH REGARD OF THE ACCURACY OF THAT INFORMATION, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU I'VE ASKED THAT QUESTION IN THIS INSTANCE. |
| 00:04:08 | NOBODY RELEASED ANY INFORMATION THAT WAS UNAUTHORIZED. |
| 00:04:12 | >> I HOPE YOU WOULD JOIN US IN A THOROUGH REVIEW OF PROCEDURES. |
