mr. muller, for coming before our committee. i'm happy to say that last year we thought it would be the last time you would appear before our committee, and i was very pleased that the president offer and you accepted an exception of your term because i think what has happened and the fbi during your term is exponential. i think the terms that have taken place and the ronlt sponlts that you have had have been more transformational than probably any time since the beginning of the fbi. i do want to start my remarks just very briefly by wreck niegz also the chairwoman of this committee who will on saturday become the longest serving woman to serve in congress in the hit of the united states congress and we're going to make a big deal of that because we're really brought of this little point-sized mighty might who has outlasted them all. so mr. fbi director, let me just state a couple of points. think that senator mulkiski has really outlined the big picture. there are a couple of areas of interest that i have and concern. certainl
