Letter to Tom Davis, Chairman of Committee on Government Reform

Dear Mr. Chairman:

I am writing regarding recent reports that provide new details about
the involvement of Karl Rove, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff,
in the disclosure of Valerie Plame's identity as an agent of the
Central Intelligence Agency.

An article in the Washington Post this morning and recent
disclosures in Newsweek and other reports are extraordinary. If
true, they indicate that the President's top political advisor
played a central role in the outing of a covert CIA agent. According
to the Washington Post account, Mr. Rove's attorney insists that Mr.
Rove did not identify Ms. Plame "by name." But Mr. Rove did identify
her as the spouse of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson IV, which would
seem to be a distinction without a difference.>

Snip: <I first wrote to you to request a hearing about this matter on
September 29, 2003, and I renewed my request in a second letter on
December 11, 2003. During this period, we met with Ambassador
Wilson, but you turned down my request for a hearing because you
wanted to see what the investigation of Special Prosecutor Patrick
J. Fitzgerald would uncover.

The recent disclosures about Mr. Rove's actions have such serious
implications that we can no longer responsibly ignore them. The
intentional disclosure of a covert CIA agent's identity would be an
act of treason. If there were evidence of such a serious breach
during the Clinton Administration, there is no doubt that our
Committee would have immediately demanded that the Deputy Chief of
Staff testify at a hearing. This would have been the right course of
action then, and it is the right course now. For this reason, I am
renewing my request that the Committee schedule an immediate hearing
at which Mr. Rove is called to testify.>
