Oregon Representative Peter DeFazio (D) is a member of the U.S. House on the Homeland Security Committee. So you would think he would have access to all Homeland Security documents. If you do you would be wrong.

Rep. DeFazio requested to see classified White House documents relating to how the government would be run after a terrorist attack. At first they approved his request then denied it without explanation. Rep. DeFazio has asked for help from Committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss) to gain access.

We should e-mail Rep. DeFazio with our support and e-mail Rep. Thompson requesting him to help his colleague.
