 White House Press Briefing by Tony Snow 3/21/07 (US Attorneys) — Wednesday, March 21, 2007 — MR. SNOW: Have you seen a transcript of the conversation you and I had over in the corner the other day? Q We don't have a transcript of that -- MR. SNOW: Do you have a transcript of the conversation we have when you call me up and try to get an answer? Q No, but we report about it, of course, but -- MR. SNOW: The point here is what you're asking for is something that is more -- you're talking about hearings -- these are interviews, and these are fact-finding -- Q Again, you're saying they're interviews, Tony. That's your word. But members of Congress -- like Senator Leahy has said he's been hearing half-truths. He wants testimony. That's why he's talking about subpoenas -- not interviews. You're saying interviews, you keep saying that -- MR. SNOW: Ed, do you understand that an interview still carries with it a legal requirement for telling the truth and that the President -- Q You made that point. MR. SNOW: But that's an important point, because what you've said is a suggestion that somehow in an interview, nobody would be compelled to tell the truth. They will. And furthermore, the President -- Q But they want it under oath. That's what they're saying. And also, if you want -- again, why not a transcript? I don't understand. If you let the American people see exactly what people say -- MR. SNOW: I think the question to ask again -- and I'm going to turn it back around -- you have all this data with you, and you're haggling over a transcript?
