FINE: To his superiors? DAVIS: Yes. FINE: I don't know that. I do know... DAVIS: Did you ask him? FINE: I don't believe -- I don't believe -- I'm not sure whether we asked that question. DAVIS: Mr. Fine, how do you possibly not ask the head of the unit ifhe had any concerns about whether or not the statute was followed? How does that possibly not come up as a question? FINE: We did ask him and we questioned him extensively, our attorneys did, about the communications between the Office of General... DAVIS: Well, did he say that he raised questions? FINE: Not that I'm told, no. DAVIS: Not that you remember or not that you're told, which one? FINE: Well, [ actually didn't -- but let me just check. DAVIS: And while you're working on the answer there, Mr. Fine, that rather obvious observation -- I hope that your time to get the answer is not taken out of my time -- if you have the head of the Communications Analysis Unit raising questions about how that unit does its work, it's a little bit amazing to me that you're having to search your memory as to what happened during the interview. But let me move on.
