stuart: i am breaking again, more questions for fbi director comey on the apple story. >> by that i meanent is in the court in this case won't indeed district attorneys and other prosecutors around the country to make the same argument in their cases and some of those may be compelling, you point to a pregnant woman who is murdered in arkansas and the only key to her who killer is the application may be good in a misdemeanor involving nonviolent offenses. the result may only affect this phone the president will be there for many others. what i would like to ask is is there a limiting principle here? is there a way through negotiation that we can arrive at keys is wearing is appropriate to seek this relief to cases where it is not, do you acknowledge the broader policy implications of a uniform application, i realize this may be moot by the next generation of operating system which may not allow this kind of relieved but nonetheless it is technologically feasible even the next-generation operating system for apple to help with the opening of the phone it seems to me the argument you are m

i am looking forward to pursuing our mutual interest together with our respected colleagues in crafting a strong bipartisan appropriation bill. thank you and welcome director comey. it is a pleasure to have you join us and hear your testimony and take our questions. i would like to say i have a great respect for your statement that partisan politics should play no role in your department. i would like to thank you and the dedicated men and women at the fbi who work tirelessly to protect had american people against threats primary here at home in the united states but also abroad. i think we agree the work of the fbi is important to the security of our nation. but i also strongly believe thereat safeguarding the civil liberties of all americans is equally as important, if not more so. the tradition is not tested during times of tranquility. it is during times of tension, turmoil, tragedy, trauma and terrorism that it is tested. we must make sure it survives these test. with that being said, i am eager to learn about the progress made in combating sexual assault, human trafficking and keeps guns out of the wrong hands along with other activities. thank you very mu

comey: i think that is something the court is going to sort out, and i will be cautious in answering because i am experts have told me, and i'm service we sorted out by the judge, is that the code that apple has been asked to write only works on this one phone, so the idea of this getting out into the wild, at least the experts tell me, is not a real thing. the code will be at apple, which i think has done a darn good job of predicting that protecting its code. protecting its code. did a good job of unlocking any phone. mr. himes: thank you. i wanted to thank you for raising the issue of cyber security in your testimony. agreements were made when the chinese president visited our president. i wonder if you could characterize if they have been effective in reducing the espionage we have seen out of china? go intoper: we could that in a more detail on a closed session. as i indicated in my earlier remarks, the jury is out. we have seen some reduction, but i cannot think we are in a position to say whether they are in strict compliance, and we can go into that in more detail in closed session. >> th
