[0:00]" Hi I'm Kendall buhl for WBZ Newsradio 1030 it's called the intelligence authorization bill for fiscal year 2010. And it's come before congress under less than perfect conditions this year. Congressional leaders outraged by revelations from new CIA director Leon Panetta that the agency often lied to lawmakers during the Bush Administration. Are making a play for greater oversight in particular they want to intelligence briefings available to more congressman. They just through traditional gang of -- the ranking congressional leaders and intelligence committee members from each chamber in each party. Meanwhile the Obama administration saying it can't allow its authority over who -- watts compromised and is threatening to veto the bill. -- spoke earlier to ABC's George Stephanopoulos about this brewing battle."

[0:48]" Well with the bills and a little bit of trouble there is concern about that in the wake of a lot of members of the house and senate feel like they've been. Misled. By the CA over the last -- in this comes also in the wake of the new a letter released by several house Democrats saying that Leon Panetta told them that they had this CA had misled the house. Several times between 2001. And 2006. This is gonna make things a little bit more difficult. Going forward for this bill to pass."

[1:35]" Well I think that's positive on one of the reasons the bills and troubles haven't -- not only surprised a little bit upset by now the White House was saying their defense that we simply can't. Share the details. Of covert activities with a wider group that chances that it would get out and and compromise commissioner to great. And you've seen the president take the side of the intelligence committee and a few. These issues for example and murder if you refusing to release those photos. Of what was going on and Abu Ghraib and other other prisons military prisons around the world. And the president very sensitive to concern these weakening foreign policies putting their security risk in his wanted to hear."

[2:10]" Let me ask if you don't like Georgia's as former White House staffer what do you think about the argument that the president should really be limiting the number of congressional members -- this information."

[2:20]" Well they did the system of a swimming to the gang of -- I think his work fairly well on the other hand you -- this experience went down a lot of that smaller group feel like they were misled and that that they were. Unable. To make their objections known because of the nature of the information they were given the conditions are giving -- and that could be an argument for. Broadening -- the group I do think that there should be some sort of an appeals process for the congress would. Have the ability on selected issues to have a broader group informed."
