CONYERS: T thank you all. The gentleman from Minnesota had one last question that I've agreed to entertain, if you will, ELLISON: Thank you, Mr. Chair. My question is, of all the letters that have been issued and all the inaccurate and improper data that has been sent forth, clearly some information came back. And in the cases where individual's information was obtained in violation of the rules and statutes, what has happened? Have these individuals been notified? What recourse do they have? What's the story on the people? CAPRONI: The peopie are not notified. The records are removed from our databases and the records are destroyed. FINE: That's correct. CONYERS: Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, this has been an excellent hearing. We thank the witnesses for a continued and extended period of examination. We'll all be working together. There are five legislative days in which members may submit additional questions to you, and send them back as soon as you can. CONYERS: We also want to enter into the record Caroline Fredrickson's statement on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union, Congressman Cobic's Department of Justice fact sheet release. We also have the New York Times, which officially alerted FBI to rules abuse two years ago, dated March 18. And we also have a letter being hand-delivered to the general counsel, dated today, March 20th, which asks her for additional information. The record will be open for five additional days. And without any further business before the committee, the hearing is adjourned, We thank you for your atlendance.
