Statement

Date: March 5, 2014
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: National Security Technology and Communication

Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, made the following statement today about media reports alleging CIA monitoring of computers used by Senate staff:

"If, as alleged in the media, CIA accessed without permission or authority a computer network dedicated for use by a Senate committee, it would be an extremely serious matter. Such activity, if it occurred as alleged, would impede Congress' ability to carry out its constitutional oversight responsibilities and could violate federal law."
