mr. fattah said. then what we take the current diog, the current circumstances, and are you confident that in a similar case and major would feel in power so we didn't have another fort hood? >> so, there's two prongs to the answer to that question, and i think first of all, the way the information sharing set up is now with the department of defense, so at the ground level, the fbi shared with the dod individuals on the task force the information it had. what did not occur and where there was a clear what else is there was not headquarters to the pentagon sharing of information. had that happened, there's a possibility we would have seen at the dod looked at him differently where he was and that we have changed the complexity and the direction of the investigation. the second thing that has changed, and we have reiterated is when there is a difference of opinion between a san diego and a washington field office, it needs to be pushed up to management so that they will help steer that direction, and i

mr. fattah said that becomes the whole thing. would we take the current diog, the current circumstances, and are you confident that any similar case that agent would feel empowered to we begin have another fort hood? >> sir, there's two prongs to the answer to that question, and i think first of all, the way the information sharing setup is now with the department of defense. so at the ground level, the fbi shared with the dod individuals on the task force the information it had. what did not occur and whether there was a clear lapse, is there was not headquartered to pentagon sharing of information. had that happen there's a possibility we would have seen had dod look at hasan differently where he was. and that may have changed the complexity and the direction of the investigation. the second thing that has changed and we've reiterated his when there's a difference of opinion between a san diego and washington field office, it needs to be pushed up to management so that they will help steer that direction. and i think that, that

mr. fattah made a good point. the purpose of the hearing is to find out what happens so that it never happens again. and i would like to have the opportunity to talk to the person in the office. but the commission did not find any misconduct to the warrant disciplinary action but to express views with their administrative action should be taken for performance based reasons. has the fbi taken administrative actions with regard to any fbi employees performance and duties and relationships in this case? >> circling all the findings were pushed to the inspection division as is normal course of action for us, and that group, the team is reviewing to it for the action and to determine whether any administrative action or any performance related action is going to be taken. >> what is the timetable for the completion of the process? >> i think it said between 60 and 90 days. >> out side of the wfo task force, was anybody else at wfo or fbi headquarters aware of the length of time it was taking to act on this? >> sir, th
