mr. goodlack. >> thank you, mr. chairman. ms. leonhart, welcome. i wanted to ask you about reports that dea field agents in southern arizona were aware of the gun walking being done by atf? colson, the dea agent in charge during "fast and furious" said that many dea field agents knew that the atf was walking guns to mexico but their supervisors told them to back off when they objected. have you investigated who within the dea knew what about "fast and furious" and why they did so little to stop gun walking to mexico? >> thank you, sir. as i mentioned earlier, those statements, as i understand it from mr. colson, were actually recanted. he -- said he was misquoted and he's recanted that. we are very excited and -- we are waiting on these results from the oig, because prior to mr. colson's statements, we were not aware that -- that dea was aware -- that dea agents in ars were aware of the tactics that atf was using. so the investigation is being done by o ig. that should answer. we've made all of our people available. that should answer the question
