Quote by Hansen in 1997: “… with regards to our discussion on the delicate but proveable fact that the CIA is keeping two sets of books to deceive Congress and maintain a very dangerous and dirty operation, I am prepared to back up this charge with reliable evidence and experts from the DEA, DIA, CIA, and Department of Justice– and also establish the surprising extent to which the CIA (and affiliates) is saturating the street corners and school yards of America. Its dangerous to challenge these people (proveable) and a reluctance exists on the part of legislative committees because of many "staff technicians" maintaining allegiance and rapport with the agencies from which they were recruited. This seems to be a matter for the independent consideration of your committee which enjoys no conflict of interest, and the courage of a fearless Chairman. Certain other Members of Congress are in position to be helpful in this (both parties). Hopefully, this can be discussed meaningfully soon (while the best proof remains current and available)."
