Feinstein continued 7A: nation in jeopardy if we eliminated these two programs. Thank you, Mr.. Chairman. Litt: My offer a brief response to that? Leahy: Just a moment and I will.

Litt continued: is in fact a program that achieves both privacy protections and national security. And in fact, the white house -- directed the director of national intelligence to make recommendations in that area.

And if I might say distrust unfortunately of the intelligence community and the national Security Agency in particular. And this exists throughout the American public and it (exists internationally)
