The Honorable Devin Nunes
Chairman
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
U.S. House of Representatives
HVC-304, U.S. Capitol
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Chairman Nunes:
On January 18, 2018, I moved, pursuant to Committee Rule 14(i)(1) that the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (the Committee) call to the attention of the House classified executive session material which I believed merited the oversight and attention of the entire House of Representatives.
Since then, over 200 Members of the House of Representatives have reviewed the classified executive session material and many have requested that the Committee make this material publicly available.
While this information has been made available to the House of Representatives, it is our responsibility to inform the American people of these findings in order to be as transparent as possible. I recognize the importance of protecting classified information and do not make this request lightly; however, I believe that the public interest would be served by such disclosure.
Accordingly, I write to request that pursuant to House Rule X, clause 11(g), the Committee vote to make publicly available the classified executive session material in question.
Sincerely,
Peter T. King
Member of Congress
