technology and new methods of disseminating data. for example social media is a relatively new method of disseminating economic data and other agencies have free access to use social media. i believe bls should be allowed to freely use social media and anti-other new method without having to comprise its position free from filtering, free of bias in its presentation and free from actual or perceived. that's my first recommendation. second with respect to press lockups. i have a number of things i mentioned that are common sense and long overdue having a lockup agreement, having adequate control of the lockup room. a number of those have not been in place, they need to be in place right away one of the things i have a problem with is tv journalists are allowed to break the lock-up and leave the room and go outside before the data is released to set up for cameras. i think that's a security concern. so i think that ought to end right away. most importantly, though, i think that the bureau of labor statistics should be given full oversig

it's less about finding new data and figuring out a way to present it to consumers. if you don't have something to present to consumers that they can read that's simple and quantifiable, the data you're collecting is useless. >> you think finding college navigator information is difficult, or is it easy enough to find it or is it on the website that's not useful? >> it's not only difficult, but it's also highly inconsistent among the data tests. i talked about a liberal arts college, a nonprofit liberal arts college in northern california that represented a pretty standard demographic distribution of students, but when you looked at graduation rates, the only graduates were asian females. you find this all over college navigator, even with the same data set, the data is inconsistent. if you pick out core data, how much am i going to have to go into debt, how many people finished the degree, then you can pull that out of college navigator and make that for consumers and that would provide a lot of clarity as to which schools are meeting mission and which schools are n

it's not consistent to say we need all that old data before we can deal with new data. and i think we're are getting old data, we're just not getting new data. >> would the gentleman yield? >> i would. >> would the gentleman from oklahoma agree that the ranking member actually made a request that all right, in lieu of a hearing, what if we had a private session with the former attorney general just from members only so we could at least have a chance to question him and wasn't it true that that request was also turned down. >> so how does that resolve tfat and furious? how does that resolve this particular area of contempt? >> if the gentleman is asking me a question, i think it goes to the heart of what you initiated that some of the democrats on this committee were saying first that and then only after that do we look at the current administration. that's not the case. we were more than willing to look at it contemporaneously, and we were more than willing to look at it in camera, to at least get informed, what were you thinking, how does this rels to the current situa

technology and new methods of disseminating data. for example, social media is a relatively new method of disseminating economic data, and other statistical agencies at the moment have free access to use social media. i believe bls should be allowed to freely use social media and any new method of dissemination without having to compromise its position as an independent, objective provider of data free from filtering by the office of the secretary, free of bias in its presentation and be free from actual or perceived parts and intervention. that's my first be recommendation. second, with respect to press lockups, i have a number of things that i mention here that are just common sense and long overdue, having a lock-up agreement, having adequate control of the lock-up room. a number of those things need to be put in place right away. one of the things that i have a particular problem with is the journalists -- tv journalists are now actually allowed to leave the room and, in fact, go outside before the data is released to set up for c
