i recognize mr. king that your time is limited but it want to assure you that we do think it is important for the american people to know there's any wrongdoing that occurred. it is difficult for us to respond publicly and articulate publicly but we are working very strongly with the chairman of the committee and i respect what he is trying to do in a think he understands that i'm trying to do the right thing. the director and i have worked with him and provided classified briefings and are working to get him all the information we can. i believe he knows as much as i know about these questions that he is trying to answer. and if there is anything else he thatves that we don't know should be known by him, we are going to look for it. so director wray and i are not trying to conceal any wrongdoing from you or the american people ar. congresswoman: let me thank you for your service to this country. we often have a phrase in congress, that we associate ourselves with the comments and questions of collie, but

mr. king: thank you. i thank the senator from oregon for bringing us here today. mr.president, i rise, 53 years ago this week president johnson signed the medicare bill. i believe one of the most important pieces of legislation signed in the last 100 years. it finally removed from the shoulders of the senior citizens of this country the burden, the stress, the cost, the anxiety of not knowing whether they were going to be able to pay for health care, for hospitalization, for doctors' visits, and then later for prescription drugs. i want to talk a moment about two things. number one, what it has done to our economy, and particularly the economy involving seniors. this is a pretty graphic representation that in 1965, when medicare was passed, a third of senior citizens in the country lived in poverty. one-third lived in poverty and in fear of losing everything if they were stricken by a health catastrophe or even a minor health problem that they could not deal with. over the next 53 years this line comes down to 9.3% of seniors living in poverty. it has declined by two-
