Is this what America has left us?"As our Jeep pulled away from one group of people...

In an interview last week with TIME Correspondent Simmons Fentress, he said that FBI Director Clarence Kelley "has expedited clearances for the committee's staff, and Colby has advised all CIA employees that the agreement binding them not to reveal their work or other confidential information will be waived with respect to the committee."
