None—these are operational techniques. We don't want elected members of the government, or any elected politician, for that matter, directing or trying to steer investigations, which by extension would include investigative techniques or judicial authorizations. There are safeguards, including constitutional principles, which have been established by the Supreme Court to safeguard operational independence. That is something that I believe, and I hope it's something that all of the members of this committee believe. You don't want me or any other elected member directing the use of this technique.
