we increased oversight and auditing including new structures aimed at compliance. improved rules were proposed by the government and approved by the foreign intelligence surveillance court. and we sought to keep congress continually updated on these activities. what i did not do is stop these programs wholesale. not only because i felt that they made us more secure but also because nothing in that initial review and nothing that i have learned since indicated that our intelligence community has sought to violate the law or is cavalier about the civil liberties of their fellow citizens. to the contrary, in an extraordinarily difficult job, one in which actions are second-guessed, success is unreported and failure can be catastrophic, the men and women of the intelligence community, including the nsa, consistently follow protocols designed to protect the privacy of ordinary people. they're not abusing authorities in order to listen to your private phone calls or read your emails. when mistakes are made, which is inevitable in any large and complicated human enterpris

new jersey. so they know that that audit will proceed.hey say, they believe that when it's done, that it will be determined that it was a valuable use of resources to try to restore a vital business. they also point out that the obama administration had approved that contract prior to it being finalized. again, this came up during his re-election campaign last august. the concerns about it were certainly renewed in the controversy of the traffic lane. all things related to chris christie, a subject of criticism have a moment to be looked at more closely. so federal investigators who were part of the inspector general's division of housing and urban development will look at that and then they'll have a review which could take months from now. but the questions came back again. and that's part of the political problems for christie, for questions about how the administration has done business. >> let me get to you hang on for a second, kelly. and paul, you've written a head line, when it comes to cover-ups, chris christie has no credibility

we're going to start the new committee this thursday, and we'll test the cooperation from that point forward. >> bob, one thing that christie didn't mention today was the audit into the hurricane sandy ad that involved him. your latest piece has new documents that indicate the administration is trying to hide it's role. and they got paid $2.2 million more in an ad that would not feature him or his family. where do you see that going? is this something that's not going to be a big deal? there's nothing illegal going on there? >> well, the federal government is doing an audit of the contract that's basically expanding the spending, and not looking at precisely how the contract was awarded and the details. we have been tracking this for many many months. it has been hard to get records from the administration. and one of the latest set of records, for instance, that we reported on on monday, there were six members of christie's staff, and also part of the independent state agency, where he has appointees. and they scored two final bids. and we did receive a score sheet from six individuals, but the names were redacted. so it's impossible to determine which pers

you've appreciated that over the last several quarters. 32 total audits have been completed & a total of not 20 are being planned and no new funding requested. the records management function headed up by leslie fishing. we're likely the last generation to have paper files. leslie and others have implemented a wide records management and workflow digtion process we're rolled that out and any training authorizations now happen electronically and paper didn't get created in the first place. each department will be able to use this for their process manual and their procedural manuals and what is searchable for any could he word so the manager or myself who will be able to find things. 7 did not have already migrated to this in the puc and we're collaboratively with the city attorney's office to make sure their inventory rid and kept in the content. leslie is not asking for new positions. there's many funding requests about $300,000 for the digtion process and so we can adhere e hover some student interims. the informational department is headed by kevin. this is a busy group. whether the system that runs a large part of wate
