DEL. ELEANOR NORTON: Could I ask you if you have any reason to doubt that Ambassador Rice relied on that information from the National Intelligence director.
AMBASSADOR PATRICK KENNEDY: No, Mrs. Norton. When I came up to give a briefing earlier that week, followed by, I think, a day or two later, by Ambassador Rice, both of us were relying on the same information. As I said in my oral statement, if I—or any other senior administration official, career or non-career—would have been on that television show other than Susan Rice, we would have said the same thing because we were drawing on the intelligence information that was then available to us.
