Thompson--re CIA Leak In-Reply-To: <0044e0601211285CA01@ca01.house.gov> Message-ID: ---------- From: "Congressman Mike Thompson" Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2005 17:01:06 -0400 To: Subject: From Congressman Mike Thompson August 18, 2005 Mr. John C. Chendo 331 Leon Place Davis, California 95616 Dear Mr. Chendo: Thank you for your comments regarding the actions of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove. I appreciate you taking the time to contact me. As you may know, it was reported that Mr. Rove spoke with at least one reporter about Valerie Plame's role at the CIA before she was identified as a covert agent in a newspaper column two years ago. The leak of Plame's name to the news media led to a federal grand jury investigation that has been seeking to find the origin of the disclosure. Justice Department prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has overseen most of the investigation. Earlier this year, Mr. Fitzgerald took Time Magazine and the New York Times to court over the issue of whether their reporters should be forced to provide information on the CIA leak. Time turned over the emails, notes, and related materials of reporter Matthew Cooper to Mr. Fitzgerald's office. New York Times reporter Judith Miller refused a similar order and was subsequently held in contempt and jailed. Please know that I consider this an important matter. I believe we need a thorough Congressional investigation into who was involved in the CIA leak. That is why I am a co-sponsor of House Resolution 363. This resolution requests that the President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Director of Central Intelligence and the Attorney General transmit all documents to the House of Representatives relating to the disclosure of the identity of Valerie Plame. Action must be taken by Congress. The best way to do that is for Congress to pass House Resolution 363. Please know that I am working with my colleagues in Congress to help pass this legislation as soon as possible. Again, thank you for contacting me. Please continue to contact me on matters of concern to you and to our district. Sincerely, MIKE THOMPSON Member of Congress http://www.mikethompson.house.gov You cannot reply to this email.
