Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, April 23 (UPI) -- Sept. 11 commission member Jamie Gorelick was under pressure Friday to testify about intelligence information sharing in the Clinton administration.
Eleven Republican senators urged her to testify in a letter sent Thursday to commission chair Thomas Kean.
"It is our firm belief that any commission report or recommendations will be incomplete without public testimony by Ms. Gorelick about her activities while serving as deputy attorney general," the letter said.
Gorelick, deputy attorney general 1994-97, wrote a 1995 memo detailing why intelligence services and domestic law enforcement agencies should be limited in sharing information.
According to the Washington Times, her guidelines went beyond those already forbidden by law.
Commission witnesses have spotlighted lack of intelligence sharing as playing a role in not learning about or preventing al-Qaida's attacks on New York and Washington.
Attorney General John Ashcroft disclosed Gorelick's memo when he testified before the panel, formally known as the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.
Gorelick recused herself during testimony of her former boss, Janet Reno, but some GOP legislators would like her to resign from the panel because of the appearance of conflict of interest.
