>> you said they were collecting it and they weren't passing it on to you. they were passing it on to the state department and the department of defense? >> sir, this is what they've reported to me. i have not seen the documents that have been collected. i only know those documents that i have produced or that my staff has brought to my attention that i have received. so no, i do not know what has happened with the documents that have been collected. >> same general question to you, sir? >> i requested and was granted access to documents that either originated or had been sent to me that were relevant to the pertinent matters of the investigation during a finite time period. i don't have really information about what else is going on in terms of other documents that i did not produce or i did not receive. >> there was a move to gather them and i understood that they have been gathered and the extent of my knowledge is not my area of responsibility.
