judge review the alleged privileged information and two can the judge disagree with the executive brarj's decision as to whether the privilege is properly invoked? >> we have shared information with article iii judges. the way in which the privilege is set out, at the end of the day for the executive branch to make that determination. but we have put in place a process that requires multiple levels of review. >> within the executive branch. but you're saying you do not agree that ultimately a decision should be subject to judicial approval or disapprove swral as to invocation of the privilege? >> ultimately, a judge could override our aserge of the privilege and we have to decide whether or not we want to dismiss the case. our hope is through the process we go through we only invoke the privilege only where absolutely necessary. if we look at the statistics you'll see we have instroked privilege far fewer times. >> i hope you'll share those statistics with us. thank you. >> thank you. the gentleman from california is recognized. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. good to see you again
