sullivan. we will review the secret service's report on its internal investigation as soon as it becomes available. contingent upon our receipt of that report, our goal is to complete the first phase of our review and report our findings by july 2. immediately thereafter, we will begin part two of our review, during which we will determine whether certain workplace conditions and issues have promoted and culture within the secret service that could have contributed to the cartagena incident. we will examine their recruiting and hiring practices and vetting practices and looked at their equal employment opportunity cases, communications within the agency, its administration of awards and discipline, training, and any other programs that might cast light on the organizational culture of the secret service. this portion of our work will include it visits to miami and other field offices. the third phase of our review will examine the memorandum of understanding between the secret service and our o

sullivan. now the acting director, mr. charles edwards. >> thank you. i appreciate this opportunity to update you on the inspector general's actions regarding the incident in cartagena, colombia, involving secret service employees' traction with colombian nationals on april 11 and april 12. my role began almost immediately after the indeed when on april 13 director sullivan and i discussed the events. we have since remained in regular contact. director sullivan has repeatedly stated to me his commitment to conduct a thorough investigation. his actions so far have demonstrated that commitment and the secret service has been completely transparent and cooperated with inspectors and investigators since our team started its work. on april 26 i instructed our assistant ig for instructions and the acting director regarding the incident in cartagena. the next day our assistant ig and the acting deputy assistant ig for investigations met with officials from secret service's office of professional respo

director sullivan, and -- thank you, mr.chairman. >> all of the secret service personnel involved with the possible exception of one agent who may have used another agents name, registered the women at the hotel's front desk using their real name and using the women's real names. is that accurate? >> yes, it is, senator. >> that fact major investigation easier in terms of tracking down the women, and it also seems to reinforce the claim that this kind of conduct has been tolerated in the past. in other words, it suggests to me that the agents were so unconcerned about being caught or about the impropriety of their actions that they didn't even seem to conceal it. what is your reaction? do you think the fact that they registered the women, they follow the rules of the hotel and registering the women, they use their real names, they used the women's real names suggest that they were not really worried about being caught? >> again, i would go back, i have tried to figure this out for a month and a half, for whatever possessed p

secret service director mark sullivan apologized and eight agents implicated in the scandal have beeng to get their jobs back. they say the agency is making them a scapegoat. sullivan is disputing that claim. >> over the last six years we have done 37,000 trips around the world and had no situation like this one before and again i am confident this is not a cultural issue. this is not a systemic issue. the overwhelming majority of the time they make good decisions. >> and joining me luke russert on capitol hill. as point out senator lieberman has this report showing 64 allegations in the last five years. that is why some people believe this is a culture that should be of concern. >> you're absolutely correct, tamron. that was one of the things that director sullivan had to answer about today and it should be noted today was his first public apology since the incident came to light, but the point you touched upon was this just a specific isolated incident and that's what director sullivan said it was or was this something that was very much indem i can of a culture that we see in the s

. >> reporter: in the first public comment, mark sullivan apologized for the prostitution scandal and assuring senators the president's security was not jeopardized. >> neither had firearms, radios, or other security- related equipment in their hotel room. >> reporter: sullivan was dismissive over "the washington post" article citing unnamed sources which, detailed how some agents called themselves the secret circus when traveling with the president, along with an unwritten policy that what happens on the road, stays on the road. >> if one of the a jep his not argued with one of the women about how much he owed her, the world would not have known this story. >> the senators were skeptical of the repeated claims that the prostitution scandal was a one- time isolated incident. >> and this is hard to believe it's a one-time occurrence. >> reporter: testimony revealed in the past five years, there were 64 instances and allegations and complains of sexual misconduct. three incidents of improper contact with female foreign nationals, a 2008 firing of an employee who solicited an undercover

this will be the first time we hear from sullivan since the scandal erupted.ion for lawmakers, are the alleged incidents, heavy drinking and hiring of prostitutes, are they an isolated incident or is it part of the culture within the agency? eight agents, including two supervisors, have lost their jobs. one other agent has permanently lost his security clearance. however, four of the agents have decided to fight their dismissals. joining me is texas congresswoman sheila jackson lee, she is a member of the committee. congresswoman, good morning to you. >> craig, good morning to you. a pleasure to be with you this morning. >> we are about to hear publicly from sullivan for the first time about the scandal. i know you've talked to him in private. what more will we learn from his testimony this morning? >> i think this is a very important hearing. i think we should also hold one in the house. we will learn how the investigation proceeded. that's extremely important. director sullivan acted quickly, immediately removed all the agents in question, at least those all

let me go to director sullivan.y, he kept saying to us that he believes that what happened in cart ta haagena was it shocked him. a lot of us find it hard to believe that 13 or 14 different secret service agents went to four different strip clubs and drank to excess and brought women back to their rooms. we had a bit of a tug of war with the director there. i urged him to assume what he believed was fot true. this was a pattern of behavior. what i mean, john, is that he ought to assume that as he goes forward and takes tough steps to make sure that it never happens again. >> does he have your confidence going forward? >> he does at this point. he has done a rapid investigation. he has been a good leader of the secret service. he is trying real hard to restore public confidence in the secret service agency. i think he still deserves our confidence. >> the secret service says no. have you seen anything that the safety of the president or the security of secret service protocols, operational secrets, things like that h

and then, third, what are you going to do, director sullivan, and make sure that nothing like this everappens again? this is really a heart breaking incident, and really a dangerous incident, and we really have to make sure it never does happen again. >> congressman, let me ask you. the point number two from senator lieberman goes at this question of the culture of the secret service. that is, is this something that sort of happens and was winked at or people looked away from it? are you convinced that the cartegna -- you know what you need to know about the cartagena scandal. are you equally concerned about the so-called culture issue in the secret service? >> well, we've certainly looked into that and looked carefully at what supposedly happened in el salvador, and i'm sure there have been incidental over the years, but i feel fairly confident in saying this. it's not part of a culture. i've spoken to people in this administration, previous administrations who worked closely with the secret service. they were very surprised by this. i've spoken with retired secret service agents as we
