But since September 11, we have made every effort to try to work closely with state and local law enforcement.

All I'm going to tell you is investigations, whether it be this and others, where you have partial facts, analysts, agents are always trying to interpret what those facts mean, extrapolate from them what they mean.

In planning an attack, persons have various roles.

In the United States, it's the mandate of the FBI to gather information relating to terrorism, go out and collect it, to do the interviews, to do the investigative work.

In the future, the cyber threat will equal or even eclipse the terrorist threat.

And from the moment that we realized it was a terrorist attack, there isn't an agent or a support person in the FBI that wasn't committed to bringing to justice those who were responsible for this.

The FBI's principal priority right now is protecting the United States against another terrorist attack.
