## Transcript

I'm quite confident that in this particular incidence the FBI followed the established protocols. The FBI submitted a partial report on the investigation in question in March. And then a complete background investigation in late July. That is soon thereafter we received requests for follow up. Inquiry, and we did the follow up and provided that information in November and then we administratively close the file in January. And then earlier this month we received some additional information and we passed that on as well. Okay.
